Here are my *unpopular* views on this:

 

Even with a highly qualified guru and a devoted student, there can be

" discrepancies in the process " because this is Kali yuga. If a sincere

desire for True Knowledge is present in guru & sishya, they will

overcome these discrepancies. But I think that a pro-active role by

sishya (asking unpleasant questions) is part of overcoming the

discrepancies.

 

Also, I think that healthy skepticism can and should coexist with

respect and devotion.

 

I know these are unpopular views, but these are my views.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha
