The grape incident described in Chapter 35 is highly significant as it demonstrates Baba's omniscience and his ability to transform a person's heart. When Boss Dharamsee, a skeptic, was offered grapes with seeds, he was internally conflicted. However, when Baba insisted he eat them, the grapes miraculously became seedless in his mouth, a direct answer to his unspoken thoughts. This personal miracle shattered his ego, and love for Sai was born in his heart. Interestingly, this miracle was just for him. As the text mentions, when Dharamsee later asked another devotee, Babasaheb Tarkhad, about his grapes, Tarkhad confirmed that his still had seeds. This detail underscores that Baba's actions were specifically tailored to Dharamsee's state of mind, highlighting how Baba gives each individual the unique experience they need to progress spiritually.
