Qualification Of A Disciple - Prabhupada 0352

681201 - Lecture Initiation and Ten Offenses - Los Angeles

When we accept spiritual master, it is understood that you cannot deny his order. Just like Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna was talking as friends, but when Arjuna accepted Kṛṣṇa as spiritual master, he was simply hearing, and whenever there was difficulty to understand, he was questioning. Not that he was equally arguing with Kṛṣṇa. Before accepting Him, he was arguing.

So this is the position. Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, He said that, "My spiritual master found Me a great fool." Caitanya Mahāprabhu is not a fool, but it is the good qualification of a disciple to remain a fool before the spiritual master.
