How does the story of Dharamsee's visit illustrate the idea that one should approach a Guru with humility rather than skepticism?

📖 Chapter 35

The story of Boss Dharamsee serves as a powerful lesson on the importance of humility. Chapter 35 narrates that Dharamsee arrived with a 'clinical interest,' intending to scrutinize Baba. His internal thoughts were critical, questioning why a true saint would force upon him grapes he disliked. This ego-driven attitude was met with a direct challenge from Baba. The turning point occurred only after the miracle of the seedless grapes, which caused 'all his ego' to drop away and be replaced by 'love for the saint.' The text suggests that trying to understand Baba's ways leads to misfortune, whereas 'becoming egoless and rolling at his feet' allows one to enjoy happiness. Dharamsee's transformation from skeptic to devotee began the moment his ego was dissolved by Baba's leela.
