What is the underlying moral lesson conveyed through the story of the quarrel between Damodar Anna and Mavshibai?

The story of the quarrel, while seemingly small, contains a profound moral lesson about the nature of devotion. Chapter 24 explicitly states the takeaway: the ideal relationship between devotees should mirror the pure, selfless love between a mother and her son. By referring to Mavshibai as "Mother" in his resolution, Baba was guiding them toward this understanding. The text concludes that if such a loving intellect existed between Anna and Mavshibai, 'this quarrel would not have arisen; the tendency of anger would not rise.' The lesson is that true spiritual service requires transcending personal ego and anger through a higher, familial form of love.
