What does Chapter 16 teach about the attitude one should have when making an offering to the Guru?

πŸ“– Chapter 16

Chapter 16 provides a clear teaching on the importance of intention behind offerings. It emphasizes that the Guru accepts offerings based on the devotee's faith, not the material value of the item. The chapter states that if even a simple leaf or flower is offered with sincere faith, Baba accepts it with great love. Conversely, if the same offering is made with pride or arrogance, He turns His face away immediately. This illustrates that while the Sadguru is an "ocean of Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss" and has no need for rituals, He deeply enjoys and reciprocates any act of devotion performed with a pure and faithful heart.
