Based on the story of Dharamsee, what does the narrative suggest about the proper way to approach a Guru?

πŸ“– Chapter 35

The story of Boss Dharamsee in Chapter 35 serves as a lesson on the proper disposition when approaching a Guru. The text explicitly states that one should not go "empty-handed," but the deeper lesson is about one's internal state. Dharamsee's initial "clinical scrutiny" and ego-filled doubts are presented as obstacles. The narrative suggests that trying to analyze a Guru's ways is fruitless and can lead to misfortune. Instead, the ideal approach is to become "egoless and rolling at his feet," which is the path to happiness. Dharamsee's ultimate transformation, where his ego vanished and love arose, exemplifies the shift from a critical to a surrendered mindset, which is necessary to truly receive a Guru's grace.
