20.41

"Worshipping toward the south means that there are five duties in a disciple serving their teacher. First, they must revere and praise them. Second, they must be mindful of their kindness. Third, they must comply with what they are taught. Fourth, they must reflect on it without weariness. Fifth, they must praise them behind their back. A teacher instructing a disciple also has five duties. First, they must enable them to learn quickly and not forget. Second, they must make them surpass the disciples of others. Third, they must ensure that once learned, it is not forgotten. Fourth, when there are doubts and difficulties, they must explain them all. Fifth, they must desire that the disciple's wisdom surpasses that of the teacher."
