The experience of Boss Dharamsee is a perfect case study for this principle mentioned in Chapter 35. Dharamsee's 'natural disposition' was one of curiosity and 'clinical scrutiny.' He did not arrive with simple faith but with a desire to analyze and understand. Sai Baba did not try to change this disposition but instead worked through it. He presented Dharamsee with a situation—the offering of seeded, unwashed grapes—that engaged his critical mind and internal judgment. Then, by miraculously transforming the grapes into seedless ones, Baba presented a phenomenon that defied Dharamsee's logical framework. This stunned his analytical mind, shattered his ego-driven scrutiny, and opened the door for a new disposition of love and devotion to be born, thus leading him to the spiritual path through his own initial mindset.
Chapter 35 says Baba stimulates a person's natural disposition to lead them to the spiritual path. How does the experience of Boss Dharamsee exemplify this method?
