What is the significance of making an offering to a Guru? Does the specific item offered matter?

The act of making an offering is a gesture of respect and humility when approaching a spiritual guide. Chapter 35 states, 'It is not good to go empty-handed to the door of God, a priest, or a Guru.' This is demonstrated when Kaka, on his way to see Baba, buys two seers of grapes. He couldn't find the seedless variety but bought what was available. This simple offering of grapes with seeds becomes the central element of a profound leela for Boss Dharamsee. The story shows that the sincerity behind the offering is more important than the material object itself. Baba used these very grapes, which one devotee disliked, to perform a miracle that transformed doubt into faith, highlighting that the Guru utilizes any offering to bestow grace.
