Were Baba's miracles just for show, or did they have a deeper purpose? The story of the grapes seems like a good example.

The incident with Boss Dharamsee and the grapes suggests Baba's miracles had a profound, personal purpose beyond mere display. Chapter 35 details that Baba was aware of Dharamsee's specific, unspoken thoughts: his dislike for seeded grapes and his internal skepticism. The miracle was not a general one; it was tailored precisely to Dharamsee's state of mind. When Dharamsee later confirmed with another devotee, Tarkhad, that his own grapes still had seeds, it proved the miracle was exclusively for him. This shows the miracle's purpose was not a public spectacle but a direct, compassionate lesson to dissolve one man's ego and foster genuine devotion.
