When a student is attuned to her Guru, even a spark of knowledge can lead to realisation of the Self. What qualities are needed to become a fit student? An attitude of humility, an enquiring mind and a willingness to serve are all prerequisites to gaining knowledge. This knowledge must come from a Guru. One that is versed in the science of this knowledge, who lives this knowledge, not merely one who has knowledge from books. This knowledge resulting in equanimity of mind, gives us the ability to perform our duties and stand up to challenges in life.
