The question assumes that the teacher has attachment for his disciple in preference to
others. If he had that, he would not be a spiritual teacher, because the first qualification for a
spiritual man is conquest of attachment. The fact is that out of millions, one is found to have the
qualification and it is he who comes up as ‘the great’—the superman. Each such great man is
surrounded by men who are attracted by his inherent charm. But those who are so surrounding
are not the people who are qualified to be masters. They are just ordinary men and no more.
