How does the story of Dharamsee's visit demonstrate Sai Baba's method of inspiring spiritual growth in his devotees?

📖 Chapter 35

The story of Boss Dharamsee is a profound example of Baba's teaching methods. Chapter 35 begins by stating that Baba himself gives people the inspiration to come to him and 'leads them toward the spiritual path.' In Dharamsee's case, Baba did not simply give a lecture; he engineered a direct experience tailored to Dharamsee's specific skepticism. By knowing Dharamsee's thoughts and dislike for seeded grapes, and then intensifying the situation by giving him more, Baba brought the man's ego and doubt to the forefront. The subsequent miracle of making them seedless wasn't just a display of power, but a direct rebuttal to Dharamsee's 'clinical scrutiny,' forcing him to become 'egoless' and find devotion.
