Based on the story of Dharamsee, what is the recommended approach for meeting a Guru like Sai Baba?

📖 Chapter 35

The narrative in Chapter 35 provides clear guidance on how to approach a Guru. It contrasts Dharamsee's initial skeptical mindset with the ideal attitude of surrender. The text explicitly states, "To try and know them [a Guru's ways] would lead to misfortune; Becoming egoless and rolling at his feet, you will enjoy the festival of happiness." Dharamsee's experience is a practical example; his "clinical scrutiny" led to mental turmoil. It was only when he obeyed Baba's command to eat the grapes, despite his reservations, that he experienced grace. This act of surrender dissolved his ego and replaced it with love. Chapter 35 also highlights the custom that "It is not good to go empty-handed to the door of God, a priest, or a Guru," reinforcing the importance of making an offering.
