"The deciple of the guru"

One Should de disciplined by the guru. "unless I am being
disciplined by guru I will act whimsically. Pride will develop in me.
That means a demoniac attitude will be there. I will become a demon
instead of a devotee, a vaisnava." So, this discipline is
eternal. "My guru is inflicting discipline on me eternally, and I am
eternally his disciple."
What I speak is a very , very serious, deep and subtle philosophy. It
is not superfluous. This sisyatva, discipleship, is eternal. "I
should be disciplined eternally. The guru inflicts discipline on
me. "To remain a disciple means to remain under discipline. Unless he
catches hold of my ear and slaps me, how can I become humble? How can
I surrender or dedicate myself?". "Srila Gour Govinda Swami
