What does Chapter 16 teach about the importance of a devotee's inner attitude when making offerings or performing service for the Guru?

📖 Chapter 16

The teachings in Chapter 16 emphasize that the inner attitude of a devotee is far more important than the external act itself. It is clearly stated that if a simple leaf or flower is offered with faith, the Sadguru accepts it with great love. Conversely, if the same offering is made with pride, He will turn away. The chapter clarifies that while the Guru is an ocean of Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss with little regard for outward rituals, He deeply enjoys these rituals when they are performed with sincere faith. This highlights that humility and genuine devotion are the keys to pleasing the Guru.
