A student has got a teacher,
A disciple has got a guru.
A student listens to the 'words' that the teacher says,
A disciple listens to the gap in-between the words.
A student learns 'about' the culture,
A disciple 'imbibes' the culture.
A student learns out of respect,
A disciple learns out of love.
A student operates from mind,
A disciple operate from heart.
A student analyses the teacher,
A disciple is drunk and intoxicated by the Guru.
A student lives in dualities,
A disciple is beyond dualities in samadhi.
The life of the student remains 'chalta hai',
The life of disciple is 'bliss'.
A student lives by history,
A disciple lives by potential.
A student is predictable and experiences boredom,
A disciple is unpredictable and is pure creativity.
A student and teacher are separate,
A disciple and Guru are one.
