Based on the story of Dharamsee, what do the teachings suggest about the role of ego and surrender when approaching Sai Baba?

📖 Chapter 35

The story of Dharamsee from Chapter 35 serves as a powerful lesson on surrendering one's ego. Dharamsee initially approached Baba with "clinical scrutiny" and an ego filled with personal preferences and doubts. He questioned Baba's sainthood when his dislike for seeded grapes was seemingly ignored. The turning point was the miracle of the seedless grapes, which only happened after he obeyed Baba's command. This event caused his ego to drop away, allowing love for Sai to arise. The narrative reinforces this by stating that one should become "egoless and rolling at his feet" to "enjoy the festival of happiness."
