Devotee or Disciple?

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta,

 

 

 

Here is today's saying:

 

"Although many aspirants have the qualifications,

the king can make only one person his minister,

and among the remaining applicants, he will chose

a few people as servants. Similarly, the Guru

bestows studentship only on a few. If you don’t

have the required qualifications, you will remain

a devotee. However, you will be a devotee who is

constantly longing to become a disciple by

enhancing your qualification. If you do not have

this attitude, you will just remain a wanderer,

traveling back and forth."
