What does Chapter 16 teach us about making offerings to a Sadguru like Sai Baba?

According to the teachings in Chapter 16, the attitude behind an offering is paramount. The text describes the Sadguru as 'Aptakama,' meaning one whose desires are already fulfilled, so he has no need for material gifts. However, it clarifies that if a devotee offers even a simple leaf or flower with genuine faith and love, the Sadguru accepts it with great satisfaction. In stark contrast, if the same offering is made with pride or arrogance, he is said to turn his face away, emphasizing that sincere devotion, not the material value of the offering, is what truly matters.
