Can you provide a detailed analysis of Sai Baba's method for turning a skeptic into a devotee, using Dharamsee's experience as a case study?

Sai Baba's method for spiritual transformation was experiential rather than doctrinal, as analyzed in the account of Boss Dharamsee in Chapter 35. Dharamsee arrived with intellectual skepticism. Baba didn't offer a sermon; instead, he engineered a personal test centered around an offering of grapes. He first allowed Dharamsee's internal conflict—his dislike for seeded grapes—to arise. Then, by giving him more of the very thing he disliked, Baba amplified the test. The climax, as described in Chapter 35, was the direct command to 'Eat them up,' which required an act of surrender. The subsequent miracle of the grapes becoming seedless was not a public spectacle but a private resolution to Dharamsee's specific doubt. This process—addressing internal conflict, requiring surrender, and providing a direct, personal experience of grace—effectively dissolved Dharamsee's ego and established firm faith.
