Guest guest Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 Question: Does the Guru choose the disciple, or the disciple chooses the Guru? Can the disciple test the Guru? Can the disciple change the Guru? Answer: Both the possibilities are there. It is better if the choice is made by the Guru, best if made by the disciple. It all depends on the circumstances. A disciple may test the Guru before initiation, and not after initiation by the Guru whom he accepts. One can change the Guru or can have initiation from another Guru if the first Guru has taken Samadhi [ i.e. Mahasamadhi, has left His body], or if He has permitted the devotee to do so, in order to supplement his knowledge. from Follow the Master, p.24 JGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
