The process of building a community around Sai Baba is often initiated by Baba himself. As described in Chapter 35, Baba gives people the inspiration to seek him out and stimulates their natural disposition, leading them toward the spiritual path. For those who arrive with skepticism, like Boss Dharamsee, Baba uses his divine leelas to transform their hearts. Dharamsee came with a clinical interest but was initially put off by being offered grapes with seeds, which he disliked. When Baba miraculously turned these grapes seedless just for him, his ego dropped, his doubts vanished, and a deep love and firm determination to be part of the Shirdi community were born in his heart. This shows Baba's unique way of drawing each individual into his fold.
How does Baba attract people to Shirdi and build a community of devotees, even those who are skeptical?
