The qualifications of an ideal disciple are purity, faith, devotion, dispassion, truthfulness, and natural control of the senses. He should be intelligent and a believer in the science of Tantra and Guru. He must abstain from injury to all beings, be vigilant, diligent, patient and persevering. He must be ever doing good to all.
He who is aware of his sadhana (spiritual practices) and swadhyaya (study of scriptures) , go beyond the conditioned mind and ego, thus overcoming all of mind’s limited ways of reacting to his surroundings , acquire a natural ability to respond in the right way. This radical freedom makes him adept and thus reveals the unmanifested nature and its power of consciousness.
