According to the account in Chapter 35, Boss Dharamsee had two primary reasons for his hesitation. Firstly, he had a strong personal preference for seedless grapes and disliked the seeded variety that Kaka had bought and Baba was distributing; the text notes, "he did not like that variety." Secondly, he was concerned about hygiene, as his doctor had forbidden him from eating grapes without washing them first. This created a significant internal conflict, as he felt it was difficult to eat them but also felt it would be wrong to reject an offering from a saint, causing him to be "troubled in his heart about how to act."
Why was Boss Dharamsee initially hesitant to eat the grapes offered by Sai Baba?
