Why were the specific details about the grapes—that they had seeds and were bought because seedless ones were unavailable—important to the story in Chapter 35?

📖 Chapter 35

These specific details are crucial as they form the very foundation of the leela. Chapter 35 explains that Kaka bought the seeded grapes simply because the seedless variety was unavailable, fulfilling the custom of not approaching a Guru empty-handed. This seemingly mundane detail becomes the central point of conflict for the skeptical Boss Dharamsee, who disliked seeded grapes. His aversion and internal questioning set the stage for Baba's divine intervention. The miracle was not just that the grapes became seedless, but that they became seedless only for Dharamsee, as confirmed when he asked Tarkhad, whose grapes still had seeds. This specificity demonstrated to Dharamsee that Baba knew his innermost thoughts and dislikes, making the miracle a deeply personal and transformative experience that could not be dismissed.
