What does the story of Boss Dharamsee and the grapes teach us about the inner state of a person approaching a Guru?

The story of Boss Dharamsee in Chapter 35 provides a profound lesson on the importance of one's inner state when approaching a Guru. Dharamsee arrived with a critical attitude and specific dislikes, such as his aversion to grapes with seeds. He was troubled, feeling it difficult to eat them but also wrong to reject them. He even questioned in his mind, "If he is a saint, how does he not know That I do not like these grapes?" This internal conflict and skepticism created a barrier. However, Sai Baba, knowing his innermost thoughts, used this very situation to teach him. By transforming the grapes, Baba showed that he was aware of Dharamsee's mind. This caused Dharamsee's "clinical scrutiny" and ego to vanish, replaced by love and amazement, demonstrating that surrendering one's ego is key to truly experiencing the Guru's grace.
