Guru and Disciple

Swami Satyananda Saraswati

There have been many gurus and many disciples who have been very exemplary. Although the guru takes care of his disciples, he has no personal attachment for them. In the same way, the disciple has very great and absolute devotion to guru, but this is not in the form of personal attachment. It is very difficult to understand how you can have devotion without personal attachment, but he who is a disciple and he who is a guru can understand it.
