How does the encounter between Boss Dharamsee and Sai Baba illustrate the conflict between ego and surrender?

The account of Boss Dharamsee in Chapter 35 provides a powerful illustration of the interplay between ego and surrender. Dharamsee arrived with his ego intact, armed with 'clinical scrutiny' and personal preferences, such as his dislike for seeded grapes. His ego led him to question and judge Baba internally. The text notes, 'As such an attitude arose in him, Baba gave him even more of them.' This shows how Baba directly confronts the ego. The turning point occurs when Dharamsee, despite his inner turmoil, obeys Baba's command to eat the grapes. This act of obedience, a form of surrender, opens the door for the miracle. Upon tasting the seedless grapes, his ego is shattered, 'All his ego dropped away, and love for the saint was born.'
