How does the story of Dharamsee and the grapes illustrate Sai Baba's method of guiding devotees onto a spiritual path?

📖 Chapter 35

The incident with Dharamsee and the grapes, as narrated in Chapter 35, is a profound example of Sai Baba's teaching methods. The text states that Baba accomplishes his work by stimulating a person's natural disposition to lead them to spirituality. Dharamsee arrived with a skeptical, analytical nature. Instead of giving a sermon, Baba engaged this disposition directly. By knowing Dharamsee's private thoughts of dislike for the seeded grapes and then miraculously making them seedless just for him, Baba dismantled the man's ego and doubt from within. This shows Baba's way is not a generic display of power but a deeply personal intervention designed to overcome the specific spiritual obstacles of each devotee.
