Ätmasiddhi
Further, the pupil conceived of here is Ätmärthi, who is not going to ask the questions for the sake of mere curiosity. He is a real truth seeker who will present the issues that a seeker genuinely comes across during his search for truth. His purpose would be to get them clarified so that he can pursue the path of liberation with confidence. He also knows that the preceptor is enlightened, and is in a position to give satisfactory replies to all his questions.
