How should one properly approach a Guru like Sai Baba, especially when visiting for the first time?

📖 Chapter 35

Chapter 35 offers valuable insights into the proper disposition when approaching a Guru. The text explicitly states, "It is not good to go empty-handed to the door of God, a priest, or a Guru," which is demonstrated by Kaka's offering of grapes. More importantly, the narrative advises that trying to understand the Guru's ways with a skeptical or intellectual mind can lead to misfortune. Instead, the ideal approach is "becoming egoless and rolling at his feet," which leads to the "festival of happiness." The story of Boss Dharamsee illustrates the negative outcome of an ego-driven approach, which initially caused him distress. It was only when his ego dropped away after witnessing Baba's miracle that he found love and peace.
