What were the specific reasons Boss Dharamsee was hesitant to eat the grapes Sai Baba offered him?

Boss Dharamsee's hesitation stemmed from several specific concerns, as outlined in Chapter 35. Firstly, he had a strong personal preference and disliked grapes with seeds; he specifically loved the seedless variety, which was not available. Secondly, he was conflicted because a doctor had previously forbidden him to eat grapes without washing them first, and he felt it would be improper to wash them himself in the sacred mosque. Finally, his ego created a dilemma: he felt it was difficult to eat them, but his pride made him feel it would be wrong to reject an offering from Baba. This combination of personal dislike, health concerns, and social pressure created the internal conflict and hesitation described in Chapter 35.
