What was the nature of the internal conflict Boss Dharamsee experienced when Sai Baba offered him the grapes?

Boss Dharamsee's internal conflict, detailed in Chapter 35, was multifaceted. Firstly, he had a strong personal aversion to grapes with seeds, preferring the seedless variety. Secondly, his doctor had specifically forbidden him from eating unwashed fruit, which these were. This created a dilemma where his personal preference and a medical warning clashed with the perceived disrespect of rejecting a Guru's offering. The text notes 'he felt it difficult to eat them, but felt heavy in his mind to reject them.' This conflict was so strong that it led him to doubt Baba's abilities, thinking a true saint should know his dislike.
