Chapter 16 explains that a Sadguru is 'Aptakama,' meaning his desires are already fulfilled, so he doesn't need anything from a disciple. However, if a simple leaf or flower is offered with genuine faith, He accepts it with great love. Conversely, if an offering is made with pride, He will turn His face away. While he is an ocean of Truth and Consciousness who has little regard for mere outward rituals, Chapter 16 clarifies that when these rituals are performed with sincere faith, He enjoys them with deep satisfaction.
According to the Satcharitra, what is the right way to make an offering to a Sadguru like Sai Baba, and does he care about rituals?
