What does the narrative of Boss Dharamsee and the grapes teach us about faith, ego, and approaching a Guru?

The account in Chapter 35 provides profound lessons on faith and the role of the ego. Boss Dharamsee initially approached Baba with skepticism and a sense of superiority, his mind filled with 'clinical scrutiny.' His dislike for grapes with seeds and his hesitation to eat them unwashed were manifestations of his ego and preconceived notions. However, Baba, knowing Dharamsee's inner thoughts, orchestrated a miracle that directly addressed his specific doubts. When the seeded grapes turned seedless in his mouth, Dharamsee's 'ego dropped away, and love for the saint was born.' The story also reinforces the principle that one should not go 'empty-handed to the door of God, a priest, or a Guru.' Ultimately, it teaches that true spiritual experience requires becoming egoless and surrendering to the Guru, which leads to the 'festival of happiness.'
