What does Chapter 35 say about the proper way to approach a Guru and the nature of Baba's grace?

Chapter 35 offers significant insights into approaching a Guru and the nature of Sai Baba's grace. It explicitly states, 'It is not good to go empty-handed to the door of God, a priest, or a Guru,' which is why the devotee Kaka brought grapes as an offering. More profoundly, the chapter illustrates that Baba himself inspires people to come to him. The story of Dharamsee shows that Baba's grace isn't about simply fulfilling pleasant desires. Baba knew Dharamsee disliked the seeded grapes but gave them to him anyway to challenge his ego and doubt. The ultimate miracle revealed that Baba's grace works by knowing a devotee's innermost thoughts and transforming their negative attitudes into faith and love.
