According to the account in Chapter 35, Boss Dharamsee experienced a significant internal conflict. Firstly, he had a strong personal dislike for grapes with seeds. Secondly, his doctor had forbidden him from eating unwashed grapes, creating a health concern. Thirdly, he felt it was improper to reject a saint's offering, yet he found it difficult to eat them. As these thoughts arose, he even questioned Baba's sainthood, wondering why a true saint would not perceive his dislike. He tried to manage the situation by chewing the first grapes and discreetly pocketing the seeds so as not to defile the holy place. This inner turmoil highlights his struggle between skepticism, social propriety, and health concerns before Baba's miracle resolved his conflict.
What were the specific thoughts and conflicts going through Boss Dharamsee's mind before he ate the grapes from Baba?
