Sadguru teaches the secret of the shastras, ‘shastra hridaya’, the science of Brahmavidya and the disciplines of Yoga. But if the teaching is to bear fruit, the disciple should offer ‘dakshina’ to the Guru. The idea is, knowledge dawns only when Guru is pleased and propitiated. Dakshina offered thus, would be normally the rarest thing. Whatever Guru demands that will be willingly given by the disciple. The spiritual significance of this offering of dakshina is surrender of ego. Ego is the barrier between jivatman and God. That should be surrendered to the Guru. Then one becomes the recipient of grace, and the rewarding fulfillment comes – God experience.
