Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “ . . . the stage of testing comes only after the Guru feels that the disciple has not realized the axiom-like teaching that he has imparted on his disciple. The Guru finds out as to why the disciple was not able to understand the teaching and tries to remove the obstacles from the path of the disciple. Posing different tests is but a part of this exercise. If we realize this truth, we will understand that the Guru will have made the teaching – albeit in axiom-form – much before he subjects the disciple to any tests. That is, the Guru imparts instruction with love and compassion, to everyone who approaches him with a desire to learn. He cannot stop it even if he wants to. He will not stop either. This is the nature of pure love.
