The psychological transformation of Boss Dharamsee, detailed in Chapter 35, demonstrates a shift from ego-driven skepticism to heartfelt devotion. Initially, Dharamsee was governed by his 'clinical scrutiny' and personal preferences, creating an internal conflict over eating the seeded, unwashed grapes. He judged Baba based on his own limited understanding, thinking, 'If he is a saint, how does he not know That I do not like these grapes?' The turning point was the miracle itself; when he ate the grapes, they were seedless. This experience was the catalyst that made his 'ego drop away.' It reveals that Baba's method is not to engage in intellectual debate but to provide a direct, personal experience that bypasses the rationalizing mind and dissolves the ego, thus stimulating a person's natural disposition and fostering love and faith.
