Sai Baba often helped people overcome ego and doubt through direct, personal experiences that bypassed intellectual arguments. A powerful example of this is found in Chapter 35 with the story of Boss Dharamsee. He arrived full of skepticism, and when Baba offered him grapes he disliked, his ego and doubt were amplified in his mind. He couldn't understand why a true saint would force something unwanted upon him. Baba, perceiving his inner turmoil, didn't lecture him but simply commanded, 'Throw them in and eat.' Upon obeying, Dharamsee found the grapes were seedless. This personal miracle completely dismantled his intellectual and emotional barriers. The text explicitly states, 'All his ego dropped away, and love for the saint was born.' This shows Baba's method of using a tangible, undeniable experience to dissolve doubt and foster humility and love.
