Can you narrate the story of Boss Dharamsee's first visit to Shirdi and his experience with the grapes?

📖 Chapter 35

The story of Boss Dharamsee's visit illustrates how Baba instills faith in skeptics. As recounted in Chapter 35, Dharamsee arrived with a 'clinical interest.' His companion, Kaka, brought an offering of grapes with seeds, as it is considered improper to visit a Guru empty-handed. When Baba offered these grapes to Dharamsee, he was internally conflicted because he disliked seeded grapes and was advised by his doctor not to eat unwashed fruit. He mentally questioned Baba's sainthood for forcing them upon him. In response, Baba gave him even more. When Dharamsee finally obeyed Baba's command to eat, he miraculously found the grapes to be seedless. This experience shattered his ego, and love for Sai was born in his heart, a transformation confirmed when he learned that another devotee's grapes from the same bunch still had seeds.
