Why was Boss Dharamsee so hesitant to eat the grapes Baba gave him? Was it just because they had seeds?

Boss Dharamsee's hesitation stemmed from multiple issues, not just his preference. While he did have a strong dislike for grapes with seeds, a more significant problem was that the grapes were unwashed. As Chapter 35 recounts, his doctor had specifically forbidden him from eating grapes without washing them. This created a serious dilemma: he could not bring himself to wash the prasad offered by a saint, yet he was afraid to eat them unwashed. He also felt it would be highly disrespectful to reject the offering. This combination of personal preference, health concerns based on medical advice, and social etiquette in a holy place created the intense inner turmoil he experienced.
