Chapter 16 explains that a Sadguru's acceptance of offerings is based on the devotee's inner state of mind, not the material value of the gift. The text clarifies that the Sadguru's own desires are already fulfilled, so he does not need anything. However, if a simple leaf or flower is offered with genuine faith, he accepts it with great love. In contrast, if an offering is made with pride, he will turn away. This chapter emphasizes that while he is an ocean of Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss, unconcerned with outward rituals, he still enjoys and finds deep satisfaction in them when they are performed with sincere faith.
