Why was Boss Dharamsee so hesitant to eat the grapes Sai Baba offered him? It seems rude to refuse a gift from a saint.

Boss Dharamsee's hesitation stemmed from several personal issues, as detailed in Chapter 35. Firstly, he had a strong personal preference for seedless grapes and disliked the variety being offered. Secondly, his doctor had specifically forbidden him from eating grapes without washing them first. This created a significant internal conflict for him; he found it difficult to eat them as they were, but also felt it would be improper to reject a gift from a saint or wash them himself in that holy place. This inner turmoil is a key part of his story.
