Initially, Boss Dharamsee's visit to Sai Baba was driven by curiosity about reports of miracles. His attitude was one of skepticism and clinical scrutiny. When Baba offered him grapes, he experienced significant internal conflict, as described in Chapter 35. He had a strong dislike for grapes with seeds, preferring seedless ones, and his doctor had also forbidden him from eating unwashed fruit. He felt it was difficult to eat them but also felt it would be wrong to reject Baba's offering. This created a dilemma where his personal preferences, medical advice, and his perception of etiquette in a holy place were all at odds, even leading him to question in his mind why a true saint wouldn't know his dislike.
