The chapter states that the Sadguru is 'Aptakama,' meaning his desires are already fulfilled. How does this concept influence his interactions with devotees and their offerings?

The concept of the Sadguru being 'Aptakama,' or one whose desires are fulfilled, is central to understanding his relationship with disciples in Chapter 16. Because he is desireless, he has no personal need for the offerings or service from devotees. His acceptance is an act of grace. As the chapter explains, he accepts offerings made with sincere faith to fulfill the disciple's own desire for service and to help them become desireless. He rejects offerings made with pride because the intent is impure. This shows that the purpose of service is not to benefit the Guru, but to purify the disciple under the Guru's compassionate guidance.
