What is the underlying lesson or 'sweetness' in the seemingly small story about Anna and Mavshibai's quarrel?

📖 Chapter 24

The source material suggests that discerning listeners should find the 'sweetness' or deeper meaning in this story. According to Chapter 24, the incident serves as a lesson on the nature of pure, familial love. The text explicitly states that if the kind of love that exists between a mother and son had been present between Anna and Mavshibai, the quarrel would never have started, as the 'tendency of anger would not rise.' Sai Baba reinforces this lesson by referring to Mavshibai as 'Mother' in his humorous resolution, highlighting that their interaction should have been viewed through a lens of guileless, familial affection rather than misinterpretation and anger.
