When does a Guru distance a disciple from Himself ?

1. When a disciple is unqualified and even after making several efforts, does not try to rid himself of his defects.
2. The disciple has experienced the zenith of Gurubhakti (devotion unto the Master), then there is no difference between the Master and the disciple, then the Master leaves the disciple to ideate on his own in the universe. The Guru holds the disciple’s hand for 99 steps, but the last step towards liberation has to be taken by the disciple himself ! -Tanuja Thakur
