Boss Dharamsee's transformation from a skeptic to a devotee during his first darshan is a key narrative in Chapter 35. He initially arrived with "clinical scrutiny." His skepticism was immediately tested when offered seeded grapes, which he disliked. His mind was filled with negative thoughts, questioning Baba's abilities. The turning point came when he obeyed Baba's command to "Throw them in and eat." Upon discovering the grapes had miraculously become seedless, his entire perspective shifted. Chapter 35 describes this profound change: "His state of mind was stunned; he forgot his clinical scrutiny; All his ego dropped away, and love for the saint was born." The account further states, "Previous resolves vanished; love for Sai arose in his heart." This shows a complete transformation from ego-driven doubt to heartfelt devotion, all orchestrated by Baba's divine leela.
