From a devotee's perspective, how should one react if a Guru offers Prasad that is normally considered inedible for them, based on Baba's teachings?

πŸ“– Chapter 38

Chapter 38 provides clear guidance on this matter. It posits that when a Guru offers Prasad, a disciple should not harbor doubts about what is edible or inedible. To question the Guru's offering is described as a form of "spiritual suicide" that leads to a downfall. While the text also notes that Baba himself was careful not to give meat to those unaccustomed to it, the underlying principle is about the disciple's faith. The story of Baba asking Dada Kelkar to procure meat illustrates this test of faith. The expected response is one of trust and surrender, where obeying the Guru's command is the highest duty, overriding personal rules and reservations.
