The pupil must be eager to translate the teachings into daily activity and actual practices. They must fill their hearts with devotion and dedicate all their skills for the actualisation of the Guru’s counsel. Such a person alone deserves to be called a shishya (disciple). The seed may have life in it; but the soil must be ploughed and made fit to activate it. When both these conditions are satisfied, the harvest of spiritual success is assured for the true pupil.

- Dhyana Vahini, Chap 8: "One pointedness is essential
for meditation".

The end of education is character. – Baba
