from the point of view of its well being, and thereby to reach an ever increasing purity, constitute the right way of following the Guru. The pupil therefore makes up his mind to pursue that mode.
In spiritual pursuit it is vital to act according to the guidance and instructions of the Guru. Achäräng Sutra therefore states, “Anäe Dhammo, Änäe Tavo" (Carrying out the commands of Guru and of omniscient Lords is the true religion as well as penance). It is also said that the continual adoration of innate compassion of a Guru leads to realization. The scriptures even go to the extent of saying that even one word of a Guru, if properly resorted to, can lead to liberation. The pupil therefore decides to offer himself at the lotus feet of the Guru.

From now onward let this body etc. behave as commanded by the Lord; and let me be a servant, very humble, the most humble servant of the Lord. (126)
Explanation & Discussion: Thinking that he had nothing to offer to the Guru, the pupil was overtaken by his inability. He almost despised himself for not being able to do anything commensurate to teaching of the Guru. In view of the significance of carrying out the command, he at last decides to act in accordance with the commands of Guru and to behave as his most humble servant. This shows his utmost modesty and the sense of subservience.
