What was the role of the women in the wheat grinding story, and why did Baba get so angry with them?

In the account from Chapter 1, four women rushed to the mosque upon hearing that Baba was grinding wheat. They took the handle from him and began grinding themselves, singing his praises. However, their motives shifted once the work was done. Believing Baba had no use for the flour, their minds became greedy, and they planned to divide it amongst themselves. Baba's anger was not at their help, but at this greed. When they began to partition the flour, he scolded them, asking, "Have you gone mad? Where are you taking it? Taking your father's property?" His anger was directed at their presumption and desire to loot what was not theirs, which left the women feeling humiliated.
