The incident with the women serves as a powerful lesson against greed. According to Chapter 1, four women rushed to help Baba grind the wheat out of love, singing his praises as they worked. However, once the grinding was done, their minds became greedy. They speculated that since Baba had no use for the flour, he would surely give it to them, and they began planning how to divide it amongst themselves. When they started to take the flour, Baba became angry, scolding them for trying to loot him and asking if they were taking their 'father's property.' He commanded them to throw the flour on the village boundary. The women were deeply humiliated by this rebuke, which exposed their selfish motives and taught them a hard lesson about the vice of greed.
