What was Boss Dharamsee's initial attitude when he came to Shirdi, and what was he hoping to see?

Initially, Boss Dharamsee's attitude was one of skepticism and curiosity rather than pure devotion. As recounted in Chapter 35, he was driven to visit Shirdi because he had heard reports of miracles happening there. When another devotee, Tarkhad, stated he was there for 'Darshan,' Dharamsee's focus was different. His mindset was one of clinical scrutiny, and he was there to test the claims he had heard. This is further shown when he internally questions Baba's sainthood upon being offered grapes he disliked, demonstrating he was an observer looking for proof, not a believer seeking blessings.
