Can you explain the significance of the grape incident with Boss Dharamsee? What does it reveal about Sai Baba's methods?

📖 Chapter 35

The grape incident involving Boss Dharamsee, detailed in Chapter 35, is a powerful illustration of Sai Baba's omniscience and his method of teaching through experience. Dharamsee was internally conflicted; he disliked grapes with seeds and was also told not to eat unwashed fruit. He even questioned Baba's sainthood for offering them. In response, Baba not only gave him more but commanded him to eat them. When Dharamsee obeyed, he found the grapes were miraculously seedless. This personal miracle demonstrated Baba's profound power, showing that he knew Dharamsee's specific thoughts and dislikes. The incident teaches that what Sai gives is always "beneficial," regardless of its external appearance, and it was a direct lesson that caused Dharamsee's ego to vanish.
