The account in Chapter 35 provides a deep psychological and spiritual case study. Boss Dharamsee arrived with a rational, "clinical scrutiny," his ego firmly in control. His internal reaction to the seeded grapes—questioning Baba's sainthood based on his own dislike—shows a mind governed by personal preference and doubt. The turning point is his act of obedience when Baba commands, "Throw them in and eat." This moment of surrender, however reluctant, opened him to grace. The resulting miracle of the seedless grapes was a direct refutation of his rational framework, causing his mind to be "stunned." As Chapter 35 states, "All his ego dropped away, and love for the saint was born," marking a complete shift from intellectual skepticism to heartfelt devotion.
