According to the events in Chapter 35, what were Boss Dharamsee's specific reservations about the grapes from Sai Baba, and how was this internal conflict resolved?

📖 Chapter 35

Boss Dharamsee had several specific reservations about the grapes Sai Baba offered him. Firstly, as Chapter 35 explicitly states, he had a strong dislike for grapes with seeds and 'loved seedless ones.' This created a problem for him right from the start. Secondly, he was concerned about hygiene, as his doctor had forbidden him from eating unwashed grapes, and he felt it was inappropriate to wash them himself in the sacred space of the mosque. This internal conflict left him 'troubled in his heart,' and he initially tried to manage it by discreetly pocketing the seeds. The conflict was ultimately resolved not by his own efforts, but by Baba's direct intervention. When Baba commanded him to 'Eat them up,' Dharamsee obeyed and was astonished to find the grapes were completely seedless, which instantly nullified all his objections and turned his doubt into amazement and devotion.
