At the end of the second year the disciple was about to enter the ashram. According to the instructions of the Guru the maid servant once again let the dust fall on the disciple in full measure. The disciple grew indignant and wanted to beat her, but somehow, refrained from doing so.
The disciple approached the Guru and paid his respect. The Guru told him: 'You are still not competent to receive the knowledge. Last year you exhibited the qualities of a snake and now those of a dog. Come back after ridding yourself of these animal qualities'.
At the end of the third year, the disciple entered the ashram premises after taking a sacred bath. As per the instructions of the Guru the maid servant poured some dirty water on the disciple. The disciple calmly offered his salutations to the maid and said, 'Mother! I offer my salutation to you. You have helped me to acquire the greatest virtue, forbearance. Now I am worthy enough to receive the grace of my Guru. I shall always be grateful to you'.
As soon as the disciple prostrated before the Guru, the Guru endearingly said: 'Son! Now you are quite competent to receive the knowledge of the Supreme'.
I thank my friends who keep enlightening me with lessons like above through mails. Hope you all enjoy reading them and I too enjoy sharing with you all.
