The lord said: The devotee shall approach the brahmin preceptor who is conversant with the real meaning of the Mantra, who has perfect knowledge who is interested in the path of meditation and who is endowed with good qualities: With emotional purity the devotee shall assiduously propitiate him mentally, verbally, physically and monetarily. The disciple shall always worship the preceptor with all attention. If he is sufficiently affluent the disciple shall give these things devoutly to the preceptor:—elephants, horses, chariots, jewels, fields, houses, ornaments, clothes, and different kinds of grains. If he wishes for his Siddhi he shall not be stingy in spending money. O gentle lady, thereafter he shall dedicate himself along with his possessions and attendants. After worshipping thus in accordance with his capacity and not at all attempting deception, the disciple shall grasp the mantra and perfect knowledge from the preceptor, gradually.
