In the story from Chapter 1, the village women initially acted out of love and a desire to help. Seeing Baba grinding, four of them rushed into the mosque, took the handle from him, and finished the task while singing his praises. However, their intentions shifted towards greed. They began speculating about what Baba would do with the flour and started 'building castles in the air,' hoping he would divide it among them. When they tried to take the flour for themselves, Baba rebuked them fiercely for their greed, asking, 'Where are you taking it? Taking your father's property?' The women were deeply humiliated and learned a harsh lesson about their avarice, realizing the importance of pure, selfless service.
