What qualities a man should develop to evolve as a disciple and how?

 

 

The quality of being a Guru as well as being a disciple is inherent

in every individual. In childhood parents give the child the

elementary education of conduct, behavior and culture. As he grows

up he goes to the school and college and learns from the teacher. In

the normal course of life also one learns a lot from somebody or

else. As far as it relates to be disciple of a spiritual or

religious Guru, it has its own tradition. The first necessity to be

a disciple is to have complete faith in the Guru that whatever the

Guru is doing that is in his(the disciple's) own interest. Guru

should also be the one who thinks of the welfare of the disciple

only. The second thing is that as far as possible one should follow

the words said by the Guru and the instructions given by Him. If the

Guru says, be kind and feed the poor, then one should do it as much

as his capacity permits. If there are problems in the path told by

the Guru then they should be conveyed to Him. The true Guru will

tell the solution of those problems under the prevailing

circumstances. No Guru would like that one should abandon everything

else to become his disciple. Guru will indicate such a course that

is suitable in the complex world.
