Q: ‘Master, please explain the relationship between a master and disciple?’
A: ‘Both play a psycho drama. Whoever understands that he is playing a drama is God. Who doesn’t, is stuck. You are asking such a question as a disciple, because you think as a disciple. I understand the drama, so I am guru. There is no other difference.’
- Excerpt from the book Nithyopanishad.

When the Master guides you, you must be ready to let go and follow what he says completely, implicitly. Only if we have trust in the Master can the ultimate gain happen to us. We need to trust in order to experience the unknown space. At that moment, we have only the Master to hold onto. We must accept the new experience happening to us, and deeply trust that the energy to transcend our old personality is entering us. Feeling deeply connected with the Master is the basic need to understand this truth. That is why the East gave so much importance to the guru, the Master.
