Who will be the successor?
The divine order operates beyond human understanding, and attempts to control it lead to failure. A farmer demanded rain according to his schedule, and the resulting crops bore no seed. This illustrates that one must surrender to the higher wisdom, as a parent cares for a child. The current age is marked by distraction and disease arising from negative forces, which human power cannot control. True spiritual power is demonstrated by the perfected yogi, whose grace can instantly heal. The disciple must remain humble and receptive. The relationship with the guru is singular and permanent, like a birth. A true guru views all disciples equally, without distinction. Disciples must not spoil each other with misplaced praise or expectations, as this hinders spiritual development. The inner spiritual channel, the Vajra Nāḍī, provides unbreakable strength when one is truly humble.
"A mother gives birth to a child only once; she will not take it into her stomach again. Similarly, any guru whom you have, once you say to him, 'You are my guru,' then he is the guru."
"All disciples should be one disciple... we should not say only this is good and that is not good."
