Chapter 16 explains that the Sadguru is 'Aptakama,' meaning one whose desires are already fulfilled, so he has no personal needs. He accepts service from a disciple primarily to help that disciple become desireless. The chapter makes a clear distinction based on the devotee's inner state, stating that if a simple leaf or flower is offered with faith, He accepts it with great love. Conversely, if an offering is made with pride, He turns His face away. While He is an "ocean of Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss" beyond outward rituals, the text notes that He enjoys rituals performed with sincere faith and deep satisfaction.
