What is the deeper lesson conveyed through the story of the quarrel between Damu Anna and Mavshibai?

Though the story of the quarrel seems small, it contains a significant lesson about the nature of pure love in devotion. As Chapter 24 explains, the conflict was resolved when Baba reframed Mavshibai as a "Mother." The narrative concludes by reflecting that if the same kind of pure, selfless love that exists between a mother and her son had been present in the minds of both Anna and Mavshibai, the quarrel would never have started. The tendency of anger would not have arisen. Therefore, the story serves as a teaching on transcending personal ego and anger by cultivating a form of love that is guileless and unconditional, just like the service Baba gave and received from his devotees.
