One who knows how to control the mind and surrenders to the supreme is fit to be a Guru

[Guest guest]

The chela was slaving away attending all his needs of

the guru and the guests who visited him. One day the

chela thought that guru's job is simple as he was

sitting and doing nothing. The guru understood the

mind of chela and suggested an errand. The chela was

asked to carry a closed box and deliver it to another

guru in a different valley. When he returned after

completing the mission, the guru would vacate his seat

for the chela. The chela was excited and ran to get

the mission done. While trying to find the other guru

he got exhausted. He was tempted to find out what was

in the box. He opened the box and the mouse ran away.

He felt humble and returned to the guru accepting his

defeat that he could not control his mind.

 

So he will be chela to one who has mastered the mind.

After a long time the chela had become guru.

 

Moral: One who knows how to control the mind and

surrenders to the supreme is fit to be a Guru
