According to the principles mentioned in Chapter 35, it is considered good practice not to go 'empty-handed to the door of God, a priest, or a Guru.' This is demonstrated when a devotee named Kaka purchases grapes to offer Sai Baba before their Darshan. Upon receiving this offering, Baba immediately began distributing the grapes to all the devotees who had gathered, including those who were new or skeptical. This act of distribution shows how the Guru receives a devotee's gift and then shares its grace with the entire community, using the offering as a medium for his own divine play and teachings.
What is the significance of making an offering to a Guru, and how did Baba respond to such gifts?
