I struggle with doubts and negative thoughts during my spiritual practice. What can I learn from the story of Dharamsee's inner conflict in Shirdi?

The experience of Boss Dharamsee, recounted in Chapter 35, offers valuable insight for those struggling with doubt. When Baba offered him grapes with seeds, Dharamsee was filled with negative thoughts: he disliked the grapes, was forbidden by his doctor to eat them unwashed, and even began to question Baba's sainthood. He thought, "If he is a saint, how does he not know That I do not like these grapes?" Despite this inner turmoil, the turning point came when he chose obedience over his personal preference. When Baba commanded, "Throw them in and eat," Dharamsee obeyed. The reward was a direct, personal miracle that transformed his doubt into faith, teaching us that surrendering to the Guru's command can resolve our inner conflicts.
