The provided text from Chapter 35 illustrates how Sai Baba handles skepticism with profound insight and subtle miracles. For instance, when a curious but clinical-minded man named Boss Dharamsee visited Shirdi, he was initially skeptical. Dharamsee disliked grapes with seeds and was hesitant to eat the ones Baba offered, especially since they were unwashed. He even questioned in his mind why a true saint would force something upon him that he disliked. Baba, knowing Dharamsee's inner thoughts, not only insisted he eat the grapes but miraculously turned them seedless for him. This direct experience shattered Dharamsee's skepticism and ego, replacing it with love for the saint and a firm resolve to return to Shirdi. This shows that Baba accomplishes his work by stimulating a person's natural disposition and leading them to the spiritual path through personal, transformative experiences.
