What was the significance of the offering of grapes in the story of Boss Dharamsee, and how did Baba use this simple object to teach a profound lesson?

The offering of grapes, brought by Kaka, becomes a central instrument for Baba's teaching in Chapter 35. The text notes it is not good to go empty-handed to a Guru, so the grapes serve as a proper offering. More importantly, their specific nature—having seeds—becomes the catalyst for the entire leela. For Boss Dharamsee, the seeded grapes represented an inconvenience and a source of doubt, triggering his dislike and his questioning of Baba's omniscience. Baba masterfully used this simple, imperfect offering to engineer a situation that would challenge Dharamsee's ego. By transforming the very object of Dharamsee's dislike into a source of miracle (making them seedless), Baba demonstrated his power, his knowledge of the devotee's innermost thoughts, and the lesson that what the Guru gives is always beneficial, regardless of its outer appearance.
