Chapter 35 provides clear guidance on this matter, stating, "It is not good to go empty-handed to the door of God, a priest, or a Guru." This principle is immediately put into practice by Kaka, who, on his way to Shirdi, purchases two seers of grapes to offer to Baba. It is noted that the preferred seedless variety was unavailable, so he bought the ones with seeds. This offering, though imperfect in a worldly sense, becomes the very instrument for Baba's leela. The grapes are used by Baba to teach the skeptical Boss Dharamsee a profound lesson, demonstrating that the act of giving is more important than the object itself, as Baba uses it to bestow his grace.
What does the Satcharitra say about making an offering to a Guru, based on the actions of Kaka in Chapter 35?
