CANDRAVEDHYAKA PRAKĪRŅAKA : 5
HUMILITY CHARACTERISTICS :
THE FIRST DOOR
4.
The hard-earned learning, of the person who slights the master (Ācārya) from whom he receives it, is of no use.
5.
The disciple, who insults the masters with his indisciplined behaviour, who is proud and lacks humility, does not earn glory and fame in the world.
-
6.
The disciple, who humbly receives the learning, preached by the masters, that disciple receives faith, credibility and glory always and everywhere.
7. The well-learnt teachings of the proud disciple surely
perishes due to his corrupt intellect, which slights the master. Even if it is not destroyed, it becomes meaningless due to flawed intellect.
The teachings are meant for following or practicing them, not for transmitting to the undeserving and insolent disciples, because the proud or undeserving disciples bring the teaching itself and the master who imparts it into disrepute.
