The incident with Boss Dharamsee and the grapes, detailed in Chapter 35, illustrates profound lessons about faith and offerings. Kaka brought grapes with seeds as an offering because seedless ones were unavailable, reminding us that the sincerity of the offering matters more than its perfection. Dharamsee, however, was initially troubled. He disliked the grapes and was concerned they were unwashed. His mind was filled with doubt, questioning why a saint would force something upon him that he disliked. It was only when he obeyed Baba's command to "Eat them up" that the miracle occurred. As Chapter 35 narrates, the grapes turned seedless in his mouth, demonstrating that faith and surrender can transform an ordinary offering into a vessel for a divine experience, overcoming personal dislikes and rational doubts.
