Why was Boss Dharamsee so conflicted about eating the grapes Baba gave him?

Boss Dharamsee's conflict about eating the grapes was multi-layered, as described in Chapter 35. Firstly, he had a strong personal preference for seedless grapes and disliked the variety being offered. Secondly, a more serious concern was that his doctor had explicitly forbidden him from eating unwashed grapes, and these were being distributed directly from Baba's hands without washing. The narrative explains he felt it would be improper to wash them himself in that holy place, but he also felt "heavy in his mind to reject them" from a saint. This created a significant internal problem for him, caught between his health concerns, personal dislike, and the perceived disrespect of refusing Baba's prasad.
