Sai Baba's methods for helping devotees overcome ego are profound, as seen in the story of Boss Dharamsee in Chapter 35. Dharamsee arrived with a critical mindset, and his ego manifested as a judgment against Baba for not knowing his dislike for seeded grapes. Instead of directly confronting him, Baba created a situation that challenged Dharamsee's perception of reality. By making him eat the grapes and then miraculously turning them seedless, Baba demonstrated a power beyond Dharamsee's clinical understanding. The text states that upon this realization, 'All his ego dropped away, and love for the saint was born.' This shows that Baba works through direct, personal experiences that humble the intellect and open the heart, making one egoless.
