As detailed in Chapter 16 of the Sai Satcharitra, the Sadguru is 'Aptakama,' meaning one whose desires are already fulfilled. He does not require anything from his disciples. However, if a devotee offers even a simple leaf or flower with sincere faith and love, He accepts it with great satisfaction. Conversely, if an offering is made with pride, He will immediately turn His face away. This teaches that the Guru is an ocean of Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss who values the inner sincerity and faith of the devotee far more than any outward ritual or the material value of an offering.
According to Chapter 16, what is the proper way for a disciple to approach the Sadguru with offerings, and what is the Guru's disposition towards them?
