How does Chapter 16 contrast a devotee's offering made with faith against one made with pride?

Chapter 16 draws a sharp contrast between offerings made with faith and those made with pride, emphasizing that the Sadguru's response is determined by the devotee's inner attitude. The text explains that even a humble offering like a leaf or flower, when given with sincere faith, is accepted by Him "with great love" and enjoyed "with deep satisfaction." In direct opposition to this, the chapter states that if the same offering is presented with pride, the Guru "turns His face away immediately." This illustrates a core teaching from this section of Chapter 16: the Sadguru, being an ocean of Truth and Consciousness, values the devotee's sincere inner feeling far more than the external value or grandeur of the offering or ritual.
