 Chapter-2.Duties And Privileges Of Discipleship ( Very  Important )-8.1
8. Guru’s Tests :1.

The Satguru communicates the secret knowledge of the Upanishads to his trusted disciples only after repeated entreaty and severe testing.
Sometimes, the Guru may even tempt his disciple, but the latter should overcome by firm faith in the Guru.

In days of yore, the tests were very severe. Once Gorakhnath asked some of his students to climb up a tall tree and throw themselves, head downwards, on a very sharp trident or Trisula.
Many faithless students kept quiet. But one faithful student at once climbed up the tree with lightning speed and hurled himself downwards.
 He was protected by the invisible hand of Gorakhnath. He had immediate Self-realisation.

Once Guru Govind Singh tested his students.
He said: “My dear disciples! If you have real devotion towards me, let six of you come forward and give me your heads. Then we can have success in our attempt.”
Two faithful disciples offered their heads.

Guru Govind Singh took them inside the camp and cut off the heads of two goats instead.
The Guru tests the students in various ways. Some students misunderstand him and lose their faith in him. Hence they are not benefited.
