Chapter 16 explains why the Sadguru accepts some offerings but rejects others. What is the underlying principle behind this?

According to Chapter 16, the Sadguru is 'Aptakama,' meaning one whose desires are already fulfilled, so he does not need anything from a disciple. The acceptance of an offering depends entirely on the devotee's inner state. The text clarifies that if a simple leaf or flower is offered with genuine faith, the Guru accepts it with great love. Conversely, if the same offering is made with pride, He will turn His face away. This demonstrates that the Sadguru, being an ocean of Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss, values sincere faith and the devotee's inner disposition far more than the material value or grandeur of the outward ritual.
