This story from Chapter 35 illustrates Sai Baba's profound and personal method of teaching. Baba was clearly aware of Dharamsee's unspoken thoughts, his dislike for the grapes, and his skepticism. Instead of simply avoiding the issue, Baba confronted it by pushing Dharamsee past his comfort zone, forcing him to choose between his own reservations and obedience to a saint. The miracle of turning seeded grapes into seedless ones was not just a display of power but a targeted lesson to dissolve Dharamsee's ego and "clinical scrutiny." It teaches that faith and surrendering one's own preferences and doubts to Sai can lead to direct, transformative experiences of his grace.
