Can you explain the story of Boss Dharamsee's visit to Shirdi and what it reveals about Sai Baba's methods for inspiring devotion?

📖 Chapter 35

Chapter 35 recounts the visit of Boss Dharamsee, who came to Shirdi with a skeptical mindset, driven by curiosity about the "miracles" he had heard about. When Kaka offered grapes with seeds to Baba, Baba began distributing them. Dharamsee disliked this variety and was internally conflicted, even thinking, "If he is a saint, how does he not know That I do not like these grapes?" In response to his doubt, Baba gave him more. When Dharamsee finally obeyed Baba's command to eat them, he was astonished to find they were seedless. This direct, personal experience completely transformed him; his ego vanished, and love for Sai was born in his heart. This story demonstrates that Sai Baba inspires devotion not through grand sermons, but through intimate miracles that address an individual's innermost thoughts.
