The Path of Discipleship

Discipleship is a process of separation. One should not hunt for a Guru. It is not necessary to run for a guru. Otherwise one welcome across a Guru of one's own quality. A disciple is like an object and a Guru is like a mirror. One sees in the Guru what one really is. If the disciple say the Guru is good, it means he is good. If he says the Guru is hopeless it means the disciple is hopeless. This has been a difficult point at least for me.
However, one day a great Guru told me, "In order to find the Guru you must try to educate yourself into becoming a disciple".
