SAD GURUH SVASRITAM SISYAM VARSAM EKAM PARIKSAYET RAJNI CA AMATYAJA DOSAH PATNI PAPAM SVA BHARTARI TATHA SISYARJITAM PAPAM GURUH PRAPNOTI NISCITAM (HARI BHAKTI VILASA-1/76-77 quoted from SARA SANGRAHA) A true spiritual master should examine a candidate who is staying under his shelter for at least one year. It is his duty because the sins acquired by the queen go to the king because the wive's sins are transferred to the husband. In that very way, the sins acquired by the disciples are surely achieved by the genuine spiritual master. -------- Your servant apd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
