Jai Guru Datta,

 

" Gentleness and selflessness are the qualities of a

Good disciple. When a disciple lacks either of these

qualities the Guru puts on the appearance of an angry

man full of harshness and selfishness and chides him.

But at the core of his heart the Guru is all love and

sympathy for the disciple. So even while scolding and

disciplining the disciple the Guru gives him the

necessary strength to bear his onslaughts.

Every act of the Guru is directed towards the

ultimate good of his disciples. The Guru is all

merciful and he could never be harsh or unwise in any

of his acts although he may appear to be so. All his

actions are aimed at the well-being of his disciples.

His motives are always pure."
