II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

नाँ गुर मिल्या न सिष भया, लालच खेल्याडाव I
दोनौं बूड़े धार मैं, चढ़ि पाथर की नाव  II

"Kabir says, the Guru is necessarily the perfect spiritual preceptor, but the disciple too must fulfill his obligations by cultivating in himself a true spirit of dedication to the Guru. The entire matrix upon which the relationship is founded is the familiar idea of reciprocity.
Guru’s grace descends upon those who feel utterly humble and faithful to him. Faith is confidence and trust in Guru. Faith is firm conviction of the truth of what is declared by the preceptor without any other evidence or proof.The disciple who has faith in the Guru argues not, thinks not, reasons not and cogitates not. He simply obeys, obeys and obeys.
One’s individual ego, preconceived notions, pet ideas and prejudices, and selfish interests should be given up. All these stand in the way of carrying out the teachings and instructions of one’s Guru.
The aspirant, before he desires the Grace of the Guru, should deserve it.The supply of Divine Grace comes only when he is fit to receive it. 
However if the Guru happens to turn out incompetent, or if the disciple is not up to the mark then their interaction is as futile as crossing the river sailing in a boat made of stone.
