How did Sai Baba handle skeptics who visited Shirdi? Can you provide an example from the text?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 35

The story of Boss Dharamsee from Chapter 35 provides a powerful example of how Baba dealt with skepticism. Dharamsee arrived with a "clinical scrutiny" and questioned why people came to Shirdi. He disliked the grapes with seeds that Baba offered and even questioned Baba's sainthood in his mind for not knowing his preference. Instead of rebuking him, Baba addressed the skepticism through a subtle miracle. As described in Chapter 35, Baba instructed Dharamsee to eat the grapes he was hesitant about, and they miraculously became seedless in his mouth. This direct experience completely shattered Dharamsee's ego and skepticism, replacing it with love for Sai and a firm resolve to return. This shows that Baba often worked on an individual's inner state, using his divine power to transform doubt into faith.
