How did Sai Baba deal with skeptics or those who came to him with a "clinical interest," and how did this contribute to the growth of his following?

The story of Boss Dharamsee in Chapter 35 provides a clear example. Baba does not confront skepticism directly but instead accomplishes his work by creating a personal experience for the individual. Dharamsee, who came with a "clinical scrutiny," was initially doubtful, even questioning Baba's sainthood when given grapes with seeds, which he disliked. As described in Chapter 35, Baba, knowing Dharamsee's inner thoughts, commanded him to eat the grapes, which miraculously turned seedless in his mouth. This personal and undeniable miracle shattered Dharamsee's ego, and "love for the saint was born." By addressing the individual's specific doubts and inner state, Baba transformed a skeptic into a devotee, demonstrating a powerful method of building his community one person at a time.
