What is the proper attitude to have when approaching a Guru like Sai Baba, according to the events in Chapter 35?

📖 Chapter 35

Chapter 35 provides clear insights into the proper attitude when approaching a Guru. Firstly, it states, "It is not good to go empty-handed to the door of God, a priest, or a Guru," which is why Kaka brought grapes as an offering. More importantly, the story of Boss Dharamsee highlights the futility of approaching with ego and a "clinical scrutiny." His initial skepticism and internal judgment only created a "problem at the very beginning." The narrative suggests that trying to analyze or know the Guru's ways can lead to misfortune. The ideal attitude is one of surrender and egolessness. The text advises, "Becoming egoless and rolling at his feet, you will enjoy the festival of happiness." Dharamsee's transformation occurred only after he surrendered his will and obeyed Baba's command, demonstrating that faith and obedience are key.
