The text mentions Baba stimulates a person's 'natural disposition' to lead them to spirituality. Can you explain this concept using the story of Boss Dharamsee?

πŸ“– Chapter 35

Certainly. The principle of stimulating a person's 'natural disposition' means that Baba works with an individual's existing personality and mindset to guide them. Chapter 35 provides a perfect example with Boss Dharamsee, whose natural disposition was one of 'clinical scrutiny' and skepticism. Instead of demanding blind faith, Baba engaged with this very quality. Dharamsee's mind was preoccupied with a specific dislike for grapes with seeds. Baba used this precise detail as the stage for a miracle. By transforming the seeded grapes into seedless ones, Baba provided empirical proof that directly addressed Dharamsee's skeptical nature. As the chapter states, 'His state of mind was stunned; he forgot his clinical scrutiny.' In this way, Baba used Dharamsee's own analytical tendency to lead him to a state of awe and devotion.
