According to Chapter 16, what is the proper attitude and conduct for a disciple seeking the Guru's grace?

📖 Chapter 16

Chapter 16 of the Sai Satcharitra provides clear guidance on the disciple's role. The most crucial instruction is to have firm faith and surrender completely to the Sadguru. The chapter warns against using 'cleverness' (Chaturai) or showing any neglect in service, as these will lead the seeker into trouble. Instead, a disciple should approach the Guru with humility and sincere faith, understanding that the Guru is an ocean of Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss who values inner sincerity over outward rituals. As Chapter 16 explains, the disciple doesn't even know their own pitfalls, but by surrendering, the Guru provides the necessary remedy, ultimately guiding them towards union with Brahman.
