Based on Chapter 16, what is the proper conduct for a disciple, and what are the consequences of their attitude?

Chapter 16 emphasizes that a disciple's primary duty is to simply surrender to the Sadguru, who understands the disciple's pitfalls and provides remedies. The chapter explicitly warns against using "cleverness" (Chaturai) or showing even slight neglect in service, as this will lead the seeker into trouble. Instead, firm faith at the Guru's feet is essential. The text illustrates this by stating that if a leaf or flower is offered with sincere faith, the Guru accepts it with great love, but if the same offering is made with pride, He will turn His face away. As described in Chapter 16, humble service with faith can lead to union with Brahman, while pride and cleverness lead to failure.
