How did the experience of eating grapes differ between Boss Dharamsee and Babasaheb Tarkhad, and what does this contrast reveal about Sai Baba's leelas?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 35

The difference in experience between Boss Dharamsee and Babasaheb Tarkhad is central to understanding the miracle of the grapes. According to Chapter 35, both men were given grapes by Sai Baba from the same batch. For Dharamsee, who was filled with doubt and a specific dislike for seeded grapes, Baba performed a miracle. When he put the grapes in his mouth upon Baba's command, he was 'greatly surprised' to find they were all seedless. However, the miracle was personal to him. Afterwards, Dharamsee asked Tarkhad, 'How were your grapes?'. When Tarkhad replied that his had seeds, Dharamsee was 'extremely surprised.' This contrast reveals that Baba's leelas are not random displays of power but are often precisely tailored to an individual's inner state, designed to address their specific doubts and lead them toward faith.
