" The relationship between a guru and disciple is a very special one, transcnding that between parent and child, husband and wife, or friends. A guru is free from egotism. He devotedly leads his disciple towards the ultimate goal without any attraction for fame or gain. he shows the path of god and watches the progress of his disciple, guiding him along that path. he inspires confidence, devotion, discipline,deep understanding and illumination through love. With faith in his pupil, the guru strains hard to see that he absorbs his teachings. he encourages his students to ask questions and to know the truth by question and analysis. A disciple should possess the necessary qualifications of higher realisation and development. he must have confidence , devotion , and love for his guru " - B.K.S. Iyengar
