What is the significance of the miracle with the grapes in Shirdi? Why did Baba turn them seedless?

The miracle of the grapes, detailed in Chapter 35, was not merely a display of power but a profound teaching tailored for a specific individual, Boss Dharamsee. Dharamsee was skeptical and disliked the seeded grapes Baba offered. By turning them seedless in his hand, Baba addressed Dharamsee's specific mental aversion and doubt directly. As Chapter 35 reveals, Dharamsee himself thought, 'Knowing the intent of my mind... Whatever Sai gives me, they turn out to be seedless and beneficial.' The significance lies in its personal nature; it showed that Baba was aware of his innermost thoughts. This act dissolved Dharamsee's ego, fostering love and faith, demonstrating that Baba's actions were purposeful and aimed at drawing devotees closer.
