From a psychological perspective, how did Boss Dharamsee's mindset shift from 'clinical scrutiny' to complete devotion in Chapter 35?

The psychological transformation of Boss Dharamsee is a key element of the narrative in Chapter 35. He arrived with a detached, analytical mindset, intending to observe with 'clinical scrutiny.' His ego was prominent, manifesting as strong personal preferences (disliking seeded grapes) and judgment. Baba's actions directly targeted this ego. By forcing the grapes upon him, Baba created a cognitive dissonance that Dharamsee could not resolve through logic. As Chapter 35 recounts, the command to "Eat them up" pushed him to a point of surrender. The miracle that followed shattered his rational, skeptical framework. The text explicitly states, "All his ego dropped away, and love for the saint was born." This shows Baba's method of dismantling the ego not through debate, but through an experience that transcends ordinary understanding, thereby creating space for devotion.
