What does the story of Kaka's grapes and Dharamsee's skepticism teach us about making offerings and approaching a Guru like Sai Baba?

The narrative in Chapter 35 provides profound insights into devotion and ego. It begins by noting that one should not go empty-handed to a Guru, which is why Kaka brought grapes. However, the story's focus shifts to the recipient's state of mind. Boss Dharamsee, full of ego and 'clinical scrutiny,' judged the offering and Baba's actions. He disliked the seeded grapes and doubted Baba's awareness. Baba used this very situation to teach a lesson. By miraculously turning the seeded grapes into seedless ones for Dharamsee alone, Baba addressed his specific internal doubt, causing his ego to drop away. The text suggests that the ideal approach is becoming 'egoless and rolling at his feet' to enjoy happiness, rather than trying to understand a Guru's ways with a critical mind.
