How does the story of Dharamsee's skepticism and the grapes illustrate the idea that Baba inspires people and leads them to the spiritual path?

πŸ“– Chapter 35

The source text in Chapter 35 states that Baba himself gives people inspiration and, by "Stimulating their natural disposition, he leads them toward the spiritual path." The story of Boss Dharamsee is a perfect illustration of this principle. Dharamsee arrived with a "clinical interest," a skeptical disposition ripe for stimulation. Baba did not simply perform a random miracle; he engaged directly with Dharamsee's specific, unspoken doubts about the seeded grapes. By turning the grapes seedless in Dharamsee's mouth, Baba addressed his internal skepticism in a deeply personal way. This experience shattered his ego and "clinical scrutiny," replacing it with "love for the saint." Baba used Dharamsee's own questioning nature as the very vehicle to guide him from doubt to devotion.
