How did the experience with the grapes differ between Boss Dharamsee and Babasaheb Tarkhad, and what does this imply about Sai Baba's methods?

📖 Chapter 35

The incident with the grapes highlights Sai Baba's personalized approach to his devotees. As detailed in Chapter 35, both Boss Dharamsee and Babasaheb Tarkhad were offered grapes from the same bunch that Kaka had brought. For Dharamsee, who was plagued by doubt and reservations about the seeded, unwashed fruit, Baba performed a miracle, turning his portion of grapes seedless. This was a direct response to Dharamsee's inner thoughts, designed to dismantle his ego. In contrast, when Dharamsee later asked Tarkhad about his experience, Tarkhad confirmed that his grapes did indeed have seeds. This implies that Baba's actions were not random displays of power but were purposeful and tailored to the spiritual needs of the individual, stimulating their disposition to lead them toward the spiritual path.
