The provided text from Chapter 35 illustrates that Baba has his own unique ways of drawing people to the spiritual path. It's not through direct persuasion but by giving them inspiration and stimulating their natural disposition. A prime example is the story of Boss Dharamsee, who arrived in Shirdi with a clinical and skeptical mindset. Baba, knowing Dharamsee's inner thoughts and dislikes, performed a subtle miracle by turning seeded grapes into seedless ones specifically for him. This personal experience shattered Dharamsee's ego and skepticism, replacing it with love and a firm determination to return to Shirdi, effectively making him part of the community. As Chapter 35 states, Baba accomplishes his work by addressing the individual's mind directly, turning a doubter into a devotee.
How does Sai Baba bring people into his fold and build a community of devotees, especially those who might be initially skeptical?
