Can you explain the miracle of the grapes with Boss Dharamsee? Did the grapes actually change, or was it something else?

πŸ“– Chapter 35

The incident with Boss Dharamsee and the grapes is a profound leela detailed in Chapter 35. Dharamsee, a skeptic, was given grapes with seeds by Baba. He internally disliked them and questioned Baba's divine knowledge. In response, Baba insisted he eat them. When Dharamsee complied, he was astonished to find the grapes were completely seedless. The narrative in Chapter 35 strongly suggests a miraculous transformation. Dharamsee himself thought, "What a strange power! What is impossible for these saints?" To confirm the miracle, he asked another devotee, Babasaheb Tarkhad, who had received grapes from the same bunch, and Tarkhad confirmed his grapes did have seeds. This confirmed for Dharamsee that the miracle was personal and specific to him, designed to address his internal state of mind and break his ego, as Chapter 35 describes.
