Based on the story of Kaka and Dharamsee, what is the proper way to approach a Guru like Sai Baba?

πŸ“– Chapter 35

The narrative from Chapter 35 offers valuable lessons on approaching a Guru. Firstly, it upholds the tradition that 'It is not good to go empty-handed to the door of God, a priest, or a Guru,' which prompted Kaka to bring grapes as an offering. Secondly, it contrasts Kaka's simple devotion with Boss Dharamsee's 'clinical scrutiny.' Dharamsee's journey shows that even if one arrives with doubt, obedience and surrender are key. His initial hesitation and internal judgment created a 'problem at the very beginning,' but by ultimately obeying Baba's command to eat, he received a profound miracle. This teaches that the most vital act is to let go of ego and preconceived notions, as the text advises: 'Becoming egoless and rolling at his feet, you will enjoy the festival of happiness.'
