How does Sai Baba handle skeptics who visit him with a "clinical interest" rather than genuine faith?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 35

The source material from Chapter 35 provides a powerful example of how Sai Baba deals with skepticism. A man named Boss Dharamsee visited Shirdi with a "clinical scrutiny," driven by curiosity about reported miracles. He was initially put off when Baba offered him grapes with seeds, a variety he disliked. He even questioned in his mind, "If he is a saint, how does he not know That I do not like these grapes?" As detailed in Chapter 35, Baba, knowing Dharamsee's thoughts, not only insisted he eat the grapes but miraculously transformed them into the seedless variety he preferred. This direct experience stunned Dharamsee, causing his ego to drop away and be replaced by love and a firm determination to return to Shirdi. This shows that Baba works on individuals by directly addressing their inner doubts and dispositions, leading them toward the spiritual path through personal experience.
