The text states it's unwise to approach a Guru 'empty-handed.' How did the offering of grapes in the story serve a purpose beyond just being a gift?

The principle of not approaching a Guru empty-handed is shown when Kaka brings grapes as an offering. However, Chapter 35 demonstrates that the true value of an offering lies not in the object itself, but in how the Guru uses it for spiritual teaching. The grapes Kaka bought were not even the preferred seedless variety, but this simple offering became the central instrument in a profound leela. Baba used these grapes to address the specific doubts and dislikes of another person present, Boss Dharamsee. The act of distributing the grapes created a situation that exposed Dharamsee's ego, and the subsequent miracle of them becoming seedless dissolved it. This illustrates that a devotee's humble offering, no matter how simple, can be transformed by the Guru into a powerful tool for grace, teaching valuable lessons and transforming the hearts of those present.
