1ST FUNDAMENTAL SCRIPTURE
जो पव्वयं सिरसा भित्तुमिच्छे, सुत्तं व सीहं पडिबोहएज्जा । जो वा दए सत्तिअग्गे पहारं, एसोवमासायणया गुरूणं ॥

Showing disrespect to one's Guru is extremely harmful for a spiritual seeker and hampers his progress on the path of salvation. A disciple who does not follow the precepts and disrespects his Guru is compared to a fool who endangers his life by foolish thoughts and actions, like breaking a mountain with his head or fighting with sharp weapons with his bare hands and feet or trying to wake a sleeping lion.
गुरुमिह सययं पडियरिय मुणी, जिणमयणिउणे अभिगमकुसले । धुणिय रयमलं पुरेकडं, भासुरमउलं गई गओ ॥ त्ति बेमि ॥
