Therefore, it is the lesson of consideration given by spiritual teachers which is called the path of discipleship. The great teachers have not wanted the discipleship of the disciples for themselves, or the devotion for themselves, or the respect of the pupils for themselves. If any teacher expected that, he or she could not be a teacher. How can a spiritual teacher be dependent on the respect, devotion, or consideration of his or her pupil? The teacher must be above that to be above them. Rather it is taught for their own advantage, as an attribute that must be cultivated.
