Jayapataka Swami teaches that a disciple's duty to show respect to a spiritual master, through bowing and other gestures, is essential to spiritual progress. When a disciple neglects this respect, the master corrects them not for ego but to address a consciousness problem that blocks advancement. Disrespect is inauspicious and can derail the path.

Chapters

Of course, sometimes the spiritual master, when he sees the disciples not bowing down or offering respect, he corrects the disciple because it is a lack of consciousness on the part of the disciple. It's not auspicious for the disciple to neglect offering respect to the spiritual master. It's not that the spiritual master particularly wants to be worshipped. But it's the duty of the disciple. And if repeatedly a disciple shows some deficiency in offering respect to the spiritual master, then the disciple's spiritual progress can be hampered. Therefore, the spiritual master may point out.
