Based on the story of Dharamsee in Chapter 35, what can be understood about Baba's methods for inspiring devotion?

📖 Chapter 35

The story of Boss Dharamsee in Chapter 35 illustrates that Baba's methods are personal and aimed at dissolving the ego. The text states, 'It is Baba himself who gives them the inspiration' and 'Stimulating their natural disposition, he leads them toward the spiritual path.' For Dharamsee, whose 'natural disposition' was one of clinical scrutiny and doubt, Baba orchestrated a scenario that directly challenged his skepticism. By knowing Dharamsee's unspoken dislike for seeded grapes and then miraculously transforming them, Baba demonstrated his omniscience and power. This act shattered Dharamsee's ego and intellectual pride, allowing 'love for the saint' to be born. This shows, as Chapter 35 explains, that Baba works in mysterious and individual ways to dismantle a person's barriers to faith.
