Kaushitaki Upanishad 3.4
intermediate
स होवाचेन्द्रो न वै वरं वृणानो वृणीते। त्वमेव मे वरो भवेति।
sa hovācendro na vai varaṃ vṛṇāno vṛṇīte | tvameva me varo bhaveti |
"Indra said: "One who is choosing a boon should indeed choose. But you yourself become the boon to me!""
What This Means:
Indra was so pleased by Pratardana's wise answer that he declared Pratardana himself to be a gift.
Going Deeper:
This mutual gift-giving establishes a sacred teacher-student relationship. The student's humility makes them worthy of the highest teaching.
How To Apply This:
When you approach wisdom with humility, you become receptive to receiving it.
