Why did Baba seem to 'force' grapes on Boss Dharamsee when he knew Dharamsee disliked them? It seems counterintuitive.

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 35

This is a wonderful question that touches upon the mysterious ways of the Guru. As Chapter 35 explains, Baba's actions, while seemingly counterintuitive, were part of a deeper spiritual lesson for Boss Dharamsee. Baba was aware of Dharamsee's dislike for seeded grapes. By continuing to offer them, he brought Dharamsee's internal conflict and skepticism to the surface. As Dharamsee thought, 'If he is a saint, how does he not know... Why does he force them upon me?', Baba gave him even more. This was not a cruel act but a test of faith. When Dharamsee finally obeyed Baba's command to 'Eat them up,' he experienced the miracle. This process taught him that surrender to the Guru's will, even when it seems illogical, leads to profound and beneficial experiences.
