Acharya Prashant explains that the essence of the Guru-disciple relationship is rooted in the Guru's inherent nature to give, which is as constant as the sun's light. He clarifies that while a Guru cannot withhold knowledge, a disciple's ego often prevents them from receiving it. Using the dialogue between Shri Nachiketa and Yamraj, he illustrates that even when a Guru appears to refuse a request, that refusal itself contains profound wisdom. He emphasizes that the Guru's only function is to transform the disciple into their own likeness, regardless of the outward form of their interaction, whether it be a gentle touch or a stern rebuke.
