Why was Dharamsee so reluctant to eat the grapes Baba gave him?

Boss Dharamsee had several reasons for his reluctance, which created a significant internal conflict. According to Chapter 35, his primary issue was a personal dislike for grapes with seeds; he strongly preferred the seedless variety. Compounding this, his doctor had specifically forbidden him from eating unwashed grapes. In the holy presence of Sai Baba, he felt it was inappropriate to reject the offering, but he also didn't feel it was right to wash them himself in that setting, leading to a troubled state of mind as various thoughts arose.
