CANDRAVEDHYAKA PRAKĪRŅAKA : 17
35. Those who do not carryout the words of the masters, shall wander in the world infinitely even if they observe the grave penance of continuous fasting for two days, three days, four days, and five days.

The masters have these and many other immeasurable virtues. Now, I shall briefly narrate some special virtues of the disciples.
QUALIFICATIONS OF A DISCIPLE: THE THIRD DOOR
Disciples who live on alms, are humble, dear to all, righteous, virtuous and who can understand the intentions of the masters are praised by the discreet.
Like the earth, the disciple who endures the cold, the heat, the wind, the hunger, the thirst, the ennui etc. is praised by the discreet.
One, who is not moved by material loss or gain, is praised. The disciple, who is content with little wants, is praised by the discreet.
