How did Sai Baba handle skeptics and those with a strong ego who came to see him?

The account of Boss Dharamsee in Chapter 35 offers a clear example of Baba's methods for dealing with doubt and ego. Dharamsee arrived with a skeptical and analytical mindset. When offered grapes he disliked, his ego was piqued, and he doubted Baba's abilities. Rather than a verbal lesson, Baba addressed the doubt directly through a personal miracle. By transforming the seeded grapes into seedless ones for Dharamsee alone, Baba demonstrated his omniscience. As Chapter 35 narrates, this experience caused Dharamsee's ego to 'drop away' entirely, and 'love for the saint was born' in his heart, showing how Baba used his power to transform hearts rather than simply prove a point.
