What was the reaction of the women who helped Baba grind the wheat, and what does it reveal about their initial motivations?

📖 Chapter 1

When the women saw Baba grinding wheat, they rushed into the mosque to help, singing his praises. However, Chapter 1 reveals their underlying thoughts were not entirely pure. They began to speculate greedily about what Baba, who lived on alms, would do with the flour, assuming he would divide it among them as a gift. They were described as 'building castles in the air.' When Baba angrily prevented them from taking the flour and made them throw it away, they were very upset and felt humiliated. This incident highlights the contrast between human greed and the often-inscrutable, selfless nature of Baba's divine plays.
