## Chapter 4: The Right to Ask
**How to ask the Guru:**
This is how one should ask the Guru: "With the grace of your feet, I wish to go to another place to learn from another Acharya." One should ask three, five, or six times. This shows enthusiasm and humility. (146)
**Leaving with the Guru's Permission:**
Having asked in this way, one should be released by one's own Guru. Then, one should leave with three, two, or one other monk. It is not appropriate to go alone. (147)
**Why one should not go alone:**
The reason for not going alone is explained: The first type of journey is by one who has understood the true nature of the soul and the world. The second type of journey is by one who is still attached to worldly desires. The third type of journey is by one who is alone. This third type of journey is not permitted by the Jinas. (148)
