How does Sai Baba's method of interacting with devotees, as seen with Boss Dharamsee, foster a sense of community and devotion?

Sai Baba's method, as illustrated in Chapter 35 with Boss Dharamsee, fosters devotion by addressing an individual's specific internal state. Baba didn't give a general sermon; he engaged directly with Dharamsee's unspoken skepticism and dislike. By offering grapes with seeds, which Dharamsee disliked, Baba brought the man's inner conflict to the surface. The subsequent miracle—the grapes turning seedless—was not a random display of power but a direct response to Dharamsee's specific thoughts. This personalized interaction, proving Baba knew his innermost thoughts ('Knowing the intent of my mind'), shattered his ego and 'clinical scrutiny.' This process of turning a skeptic into a believer through a personal, transformative experience is a powerful way to build a strong community based on genuine love and devotion.
