Can you explain the leela of the seeded and seedless grapes with Boss Dharamsee? What was the underlying lesson?

📖 Chapter 35

The leela of the grapes, detailed in Chapter 35, powerfully illustrates Baba's omniscience and his method of teaching. When Kaka offered grapes with seeds, Boss Dharamsee, who disliked them, was internally conflicted and even doubted Baba's sainthood. Sensing his thoughts, Baba gave him even more. When Dharamsee finally ate them upon Baba's command, he was astonished to find they were seedless. The lesson was that his ego and 'clinical scrutiny' were misplaced. By experiencing a miracle tailored to his specific inner turmoil, Dharamsee's skepticism vanished, replaced by love for the saint. He realized, as Chapter 35 states, 'Whatever Sai gives me, they turn out to be seedless and beneficial,' demonstrating that surrender to the Guru's will brings unexpected grace.
