What does Chapter 16 reveal about the Sadguru's nature and his reaction to offerings and rituals?

Chapter 16 explains that a Sadguru is 'Aptakama,' meaning his desires are always fulfilled, and he is an ocean of Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss, fundamentally unconcerned with outward rituals. However, his interaction with devotees is based on their inner state. The chapter states that if a devotee offers even a simple leaf or flower with sincere faith, the Guru accepts it with great love. In contrast, if the same offering is made with pride, He will immediately turn His face away. This teaching from Chapter 16 shows that while the Guru is beyond material things, He deeply values and responds to the sincere faith and humility of his followers.
