The Disciple's Enlightenment 2 results from the above
Discourse.
सद्गुरुना उपदेशथी, आव्युं अपूर्व भान । निजपद निजमांही लद्यु, दूर थयुं अज्ञान ॥११९।। Sadguruna upadeshathi, avryu apurva bhana,
Nijapada nijamahi Cahyu, dura thayu ajnana. 119 The pupil praises his true Teacher, "I know what I had never known, By teaching of my own true Teacher, Ignorance passed and knowledge shone. 119
By the unfailing teachings of the living enlightened Guru the disciple obtained the unprecedented right understanding of the Self and realizing his Self he found that his Self-delusive ignorance was removed. The disciple reveals his experience of the Self to his Guru so that in case there be any error the Guru can remove it. He feels infinitely obliged to his Guru and expresses his heartfelt devotion to him.
With regard to the first truth about the Self's existence, the disciple reveals the existience of the self as distinct from the body and the rest. His attachment to the body is totally destroyed.
