This principle is perfectly demonstrated in the account of Boss Dharamsee in Chapter 35. Dharamsee's 'natural disposition' was one of skepticism, a 'clinical scrutiny,' and a specific, pronounced dislike for grapes with seeds. Baba did not ignore or override this disposition; He 'stimulated' it by creating a situation centered on those very grapes. This act brought Dharamsee's internal conflict and personal prejudice to a crisis point. As Chapter 35 states, 'a problem arose at the very beginning' because the offering directly challenged his preference. By engaging Dharamsee's specific aversion and then resolving the conflict with a targeted miracle, Baba used the devotee's own unique disposition as the very vehicle for his spiritual awakening, proving His divine insight in a way that was uniquely and powerfully convincing for that individual.
The Satcharita says Baba 'stimulates their natural disposition' to lead people to the spiritual path. How is this demonstrated in the story of Boss Dharamsee?
