How does the story of Dharamsee and the grapes illustrate Sai Baba's method of inspiring faith in skeptics?

📖 Chapter 35

The story of Boss Dharamsee demonstrates Baba's personalized approach to fostering faith. Chapter 35 explains that Dharamsee arrived with a 'clinical scrutiny' and was driven by curiosity about miracles. Baba didn't perform a generic wonder; he tailored the experience to Dharamsee's specific, unspoken thoughts. Dharamsee's internal problem was his dislike for seeded grapes. Baba's miracle was not just turning grapes seedless, but doing so specifically for the skeptic who was silently questioning him. The experience was confirmed to be personal when Dharamsee learned that another devotee, Tarkhad, received normal, seeded grapes. This showed Baba knew Dharamsee's 'intent of mind,' which shattered his ego and replaced his skepticism with profound love and devotion.
