MASTER AND DISCIPLE
253. The ācārya, the guru and the buddha in fact have only one absolute and inalienable attribute: whatever form they should take, with their work they never increase darkness.
254. If a disciple is apt the master will appear - as it is maintained in India. We could put it like this: He who is apt will dream the guide into his own dream-of-being.
255. From where one knows a given thing only seemingly justifies anything; in fact it justifies nothing. If someone really knows something it matters not whether he heard it on a tram or learnt it from a master.
256. He who cannot find the discipline in himself cannot find the guru in himself either.
