As detailed in Chapter 16, a Sadguru's response to offerings is based entirely on the devotee's inner disposition, not the value of the item. The chapter states that the Sadguru's own desires are already fulfilled ('Aptakama'). If a devotee offers even a simple leaf or flower with sincere faith, He accepts it with great love. However, if the same offering is made with pride, He will turn his face away. He is an 'ocean of Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss' and cares little for outward rituals unless they are performed with sincere faith, in which case He enjoys them deeply.
