How does Sai Baba attract new followers and build a community, based on the story of Boss Dharamsee in Shirdi?

The story of Boss Dharamsee illustrates how Sai Baba builds his community by working on individuals from within. Chapter 35 explains that it is Baba himself who gives people the inspiration to seek him out, stimulating their natural disposition to lead them toward a spiritual path. Dharamsee arrived with a skeptical, 'clinical' mindset, curious about miracles. Baba, knowing Dharamsee's inner thoughts and his dislike for grapes with seeds, orchestrated a personal experience. By transforming the seeded grapes into seedless ones, Baba directly addressed Dharamsee's internal doubts. This act caused his ego to drop away and replaced it with love for the saint, creating a 'firm determination' to return. This shows that Baba's community is built not on grand pronouncements, but on profound, individual transformations that foster genuine devotion.
