Chapter 35 provides clear insights on this matter. It explicitly states, 'It is not good to go empty-handed to the door of God, a priest, or a Guru,' a principle followed by the devotee Kaka who brought grapes. More importantly, the text contrasts two internal attitudes. Boss Dharamsee's initial approach is filled with ego, dislike, and 'clinical scrutiny,' which creates a 'problem at the very beginning.' The ideal approach, as the text suggests, is 'Becoming egoless and rolling at his feet,' which allows one to 'enjoy the festival of happiness.' Dharamsee only reached this state after his ego was shattered by Baba's miracle, illustrating that surrendering one's ego is key to receiving spiritual grace.
Based on the story of Boss Dharamsee, what is the recommended attitude when approaching a Guru, and what should be avoided?
