O! ambike ! one should at once , closing his ears, be far removed from the place where he happens to come across insulting comments about his guru in a manner that he never again listens to the vilifying comments. The atonement for listening to insulting comments about one’s guru is meditating on the gurupAdukA

A disciple should never insult the friends or servants of the guru. He should never insult the guru’s mArga or his preachings of the Vedas, shAstra-s and Agama-s

At the sight of the guru’s sandals, cloths, vehicle, umbrella, fan etc, one should bow in reverence and should never think of using these.

O! Beloved! The following actions are strictly prohibited in the presence of one’s guru and in his abode:
Washing one’s feet, bathing, anointing with oil, brushing the teeth, urinating, spitting, shaving, reclining, having sex, sitting in the vIrAsana posture, uttering cruel words, ordering, laughing aloud or crying, unbraiding the hair, wearing of turban, wearing a shirt, nudity, stretching of the legs, argument, quarrelling, abusing, bending, slapping, waving or shaking of the hands, gambling, wrestling, fighting, dancing etc. If one does the above out of desire, then curse of the devatA-s will fall on him.
upacAreNa santiShThed gurvagre necchayA vishet |
mukhAvalokI seveta taduktaJca samAcaret ||
Never sit before the guru without being ordered to do so by him. Stand before the guru reverentially. Always see the guru’s face and speak and act according to the guru’s words.
gurUktAnukta kAryeShu nopekShAM kArayet priye |
shirasA yadgururbrUyAttat kAryamavishaGkayA ||
O! Beloved! Never neglect any of the guru’s work that is to be done, whether instructed or not instructed by him. Whatever is ordered by the guru should be executed by according utmost importance.
nigrahe'nugrahe vApi guruH sarvasya kAraNam |
nirgataM yadgurorvaktrAt sarvaM shAstraM taducyate ||
The guru alone is competent to bless or punish a disciple. One should understand that whatever word that emanate from the guru‘s mouth is indeed shAstra.
gurukArye svayaM shakto nAparaM preShayet priye |
bahubhRtyaparairbhRtyaiH sahito'pyatibhaktimAn ||
A disciple should never send another person to carry out the work of the guru, when he is physically fit to do that job. Even if the disciple has many servants at his command, he should do the job himself and not entrust it to others.
svakAryamanyakAryaM vA shiShyaH svagurucittavit |
gurupArshvagato namraH prasannavadano bhavet ||
in matters which are personal or otherwise, a disciple should discern the mind of the guru. When he nears the side of the guru, a disciple should be reverent and sport a pleasing countenance.
sAmAnyato niShiddhaJca tadguroryadi sannidhau |
Acarettasya sarvasya doShaH koTiguNo bhavet ||
Even those trivial faults if committed in the presence of the guru, get magnified manifold and invite trouble upon the disciple.

gobrAhmaNavadhaM kRtvA yat pApaM samavApnuyAt |
tat pApaM samavApnoti gurvagre'nRtabhAShaNAt ||
Turning his face away from the guru, if a disciple disrespectfully listens to the guru’s words which may or may not be in the interests of the disciple, leads to hell called ‘raurava’
Speaking falsehood in the presence of the guru definitely invites sin which equals in magnitude the sin that accrues on the killing of a cow or a brahmana
