Boss Dharamsee underwent a profound transformation from a skeptical observer to a devoted follower. Chapter 35 describes him arriving with a mindset of "clinical scrutiny." His initial reaction to being offered grapes he disliked was to mentally question Baba's status as a saint. However, the miracle of the grapes turning seedless in his mouth completely shattered his skepticism. The text states, "All his ego dropped away, and love for the saint was born." This experience was so impactful that his "previous resolves vanished," and the casual eagerness to visit Shirdi became a "firm determination." His journey from intellectual doubt to heartfelt love demonstrates the powerful effect of a direct spiritual experience.
