This principle is clearly demonstrated in the story of Boss Dharamsee from Chapter 35. Dharamsee's 'natural disposition' was one of skepticism and 'clinical scrutiny'. Instead of lecturing him, Baba engaged this disposition directly. He created a scenario involving the grapes that specifically triggered Dharamsee's personal dislike and rational doubts. By performing a miracle that defied logical explanation—turning seeded grapes into seedless ones only for him—Baba subverted Dharamsee's analytical mind. As Chapter 35 notes, this caused his state of mind to be 'stunned' and his ego to drop away, proving that Baba works with an individual's unique nature to guide them toward devotion.
The text states Baba leads people to the spiritual path by 'stimulating their natural disposition.' How is this principle exemplified in the encounter with the skeptical Boss Dharamsee?
