In the context of the Guru-disciple relationship described in Chapter 19, what does a Guru truly expect from a disciple?

📖 Chapter 19

The Guru-disciple relationship, as detailed in Chapter 19, is not based on material exchange. Even a very powerful Guru primarily expects the disciple's inner qualities. Specifically, the text mentions the Guru looks for the 'disciple's wisdom; strong faith at the Guru’s feet and the strength of courage which is patience.' The disciple's devotion is also paramount, as shown by the narrator who would gaze at his Guru's face constantly, feeling neither hunger nor thirst. In return, the Guru offered immense love, protection, and provision, never neglecting the disciple and ensuring their well-being for twelve years.
