This principle is highlighted beautifully in the narrative from Chapter 35. The chapter explicitly states, 'It is not good to go empty-handed to the door of God, a priest, or a Guru.' Following this tenet, Kaka prudently purchased two seers of grapes to offer to Baba. This simple offering became the very instrument of a profound leela. While Kaka made the offering with devotion, the grapes were used by Baba to teach the skeptical Boss Dharamsee. Baba distributed these same grapes, which caused inner turmoil for Dharamsee but ultimately led to the miracle of them becoming seedless. This shows how a devotee's humble offering can become a catalyst for divine grace and a tool for the spiritual upliftment of others.
The text says it's not good to approach a Guru empty-handed. How is this principle demonstrated in the story of Dharamsee's visit?
