How does Sai Baba's interaction with Boss Dharamsee illustrate the concept of divine omniscience and the shattering of the ego?

📖 Chapter 35

The encounter between Sai Baba and Boss Dharamsee in Chapter 35 is a profound illustration of these concepts. Dharamsee arrived full of ego and 'clinical scrutiny.' His inner thoughts, including his dislike for grapes with seeds and his questioning of Baba's sainthood, were known to Baba. The text states Dharamsee thought, 'If he is a saint, how does he not know That I do not like these grapes?' Baba's response—giving him more grapes and then miraculously making them seedless—was a direct answer to this unspoken challenge, proving his omniscience. This experience completely shattered Dharamsee's intellectual pride. As the text notes, 'All his ego dropped away, and love for the saint was born,' showing how Baba's divine knowledge can dismantle the ego and open the heart to devotion.
