The story of Boss Dharamsee in Chapter 35 serves as a powerful illustration of this principle. Dharamsee initially tried to know Baba's ways through 'clinical scrutiny,' which led him to a troubled state of mind as he judged the grapes and questioned Baba. This intellectual approach created a barrier. The alternative path to the 'festival of happiness' is shown when he finally surrenders his ego. By obeying Baba's simple command, 'Throw them in and eat,' without further analysis, he experienced the miracle of the seedless grapes. Chapter 35 demonstrates that becoming egoless and rolling at Baba's feet, rather than trying to intellectually dissect His ways, is the key to experiencing His grace.
The text states, 'To try and know his ways would lead to misfortune.' How does the story of Dharamsee's visit illustrate the alternative path to happiness?
