What is the proper etiquette when visiting a Guru, according to the Satcharita? And how did this play out in the story of Kaka and Boss Dharamsee?

The Satcharita provides guidance on how to approach a spiritual master. Chapter 35 explicitly states, 'It is not good to go empty-handed to the door of God, a priest, or a Guru.' This principle was followed by Kaka, who, on his way to Shirdi with Boss Dharamsee, bought two seers of grapes to offer to Sai Baba. This act of bringing an offering is a sign of respect and humility. Kaka offered the grapes at Baba's feet, and Baba then began distributing them as prasad. This simple act set the stage for the profound experience that would transform the skeptical Boss Dharamsee, demonstrating how following proper spiritual protocol can lead to receiving immense grace.
