I am skeptical about Sai Baba but also curious. How did Baba handle people who approached him with doubts or a 'clinical' mindset?

This is a wonderful question that touches upon the heart of Baba's methods. The story of Boss Dharamsee in Chapter 35 provides a perfect example. Dharamsee arrived in Shirdi with a 'clinical scrutiny,' questioning the purpose of visiting and feeling a dislike for the seeded grapes Baba offered him. He even thought to himself, 'If he is a saint, how does he not know That I do not like these grapes?' In response to this internal doubt, Baba performed a subtle miracle. When Dharamsee finally ate the grapes upon Baba's command, he found them to be seedless. This direct experience, tailored to his specific inner state, caused his ego to drop away and be replaced with love for the saint. This story from Chapter 35 illustrates that Baba often worked with an individual's specific disposition, using their own doubts as a vehicle for a profound spiritual experience.
