According to the provided text, what is Baba's method for drawing people to the spiritual path? Does he force them, or is there another way?

📖 Chapter 35

The text in Chapter 35 explicitly states that Baba does not force people but rather inspires them. It says, "It is Baba himself who gives them the inspiration; only then do they step out; Stimulating their natural disposition, he leads them toward the spiritual path." This is exemplified in the story of Boss Dharamsee. Baba didn't lecture Dharamsee or argue with his skepticism. Instead, he created a situation involving the offered grapes that directly addressed Dharamsee's internal state—his dislike, his doubt, and his ego. As Chapter 35 reveals, the resulting miracle was a personal experience that stunned Dharamsee, causing his ego to drop and love for Sai to arise naturally. This illustrates Baba's method: he works from within, using his divine knowledge of a person's mind to guide them gently but powerfully toward devotion.
