What's the deeper meaning or lesson from the story about Damu Anna's quarrel with Mavshibai?

📖 Chapter 24

The story of the quarrel, while seemingly a small, humorous event, contains a profound lesson about the nature of love and emotion. Chapter 24 explains that if the loving intellect between Damu Anna and Mavshibai had been like that between a mother and son, the quarrel would never have started. Baba’s intervention, where he referred to Mavshibai as "the Mother," was a direct teaching to highlight this very point. It demonstrated his wonderful "natural trick" of using everyday situations to impart spiritual wisdom. The incident shows how perceptions and emotions dictate our reactions, and that with a pure, familial love, anger and conflict cannot arise.
