In the spiritual ...This is unfortunately incorrect.<br />In the spiritual path, the first stage is that of the seeker, then a devotee. If the devotee matures enough and has surrendered to the Guru, then the devotee eventually becomes a disciple. A devotee develops emotional connection with the Guru and is dear to him. However, the true disciple is a different animal. If the Guru says - "Jump" he will jump. Period. And this "jump" could literally mean "jump from a cliff" where you know you're going to die the next moment. Yet the disciple will do it because his faith in the Guru is absolute. Such a devotee has become the real disciple. Inside the disciple, lives the "Guru". A devotee always comes second. <br />That is why in Sanatana Dharma, we have this tradition of the "Guru-shishya" parampara (or Guru-disciple tradition).<br />All the best, <br />Rahul<br /><br />PS To find true disciples in this age is rare (not impossible), some are there but not many. Every enlightened master knows that in his lifetime his number of disciples can be counted by hand. Not everyone can become a disciple. Example - Jesus had so many followers but only a handful of disciples. This was the same case for the Buddha (and so on).rman108https://www.blogger.com/profile/00710496393207128378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458765754102062799.post-61497180869600451492015-09-14T02:23:57.618-07:002015-09-14T02:23:57.618-07:00Wow, this is probably one of the coolest tutorials...Wow, this is probably one of the coolest tutorials I’ve seen.
