According to Chapter 16, what is the proper conduct for a disciple, and what are the pitfalls to avoid when serving a Guru?

Chapter 16 of the Sai Satcharitra provides clear guidance for a disciple. The primary instruction is to simply surrender oneself to the Sadguru, as the disciple is often unaware of their own pitfalls. The text warns against even slight neglect or the use of "cleverness" (Chaturai) in service, as this can lead the seeker into trouble. It stresses the necessity of having firm faith at the Guru's feet. The chapter also notes that while a Guru is an ocean of Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss, He deeply enjoys rituals and offerings, like a leaf or flower, when they are presented with sincere faith and love, not pride.
