The story of Boss Dharamsee in Chapter 35 provides a clear lesson on the proper attitude when approaching a Guru. Dharamsee initially came with a "clinical scrutiny," his mind full of doubt and judgment. He questioned Baba's actions internally, thinking, "If he is a saint, how does he not know That I do not like these grapes?" This ego-driven attitude created a problem. The narrative suggests that trying to understand Baba's ways through an intellectual or skeptical lens can lead to misfortune. Instead, the text advises, "Becoming egoless and rolling at his feet, you will enjoy the festival of happiness." Dharamsee's transformation occurred only after his ego was shattered by the miracle of the seedless grapes, showing that the ideal approach is one of humility, surrender, and faith.
