THE FIVE DISCIPLES In Caption The five disciples One cannot have knowledge without a guru, a teacher. I sought knowledge from a sadhu who had been known for his succinct replies. Teacher kindly take me as your disciple, I bowed down before him. Why don't you become a teacher yourself he asked me. But I don't have knowledge , please take me as your disciple I pleaded. He motioned me to sit down and said, you only have to have five disciples and you will be a teacher yourself.
