Friend and Brother
When, through dedication and consistent application of important spiritual lessons, the guru-chela (or student-teacher) relationship has blossomed and the chela has shown himself to be trustworthy, he becomes a friend of the master.
Of course, the friendship between student and teacher in their respective roles is already well-established, but now the friend becomes a co-worker with the master.
He becomes a true companion, helping to bear the master’s cross, as well as the burden of his light.
You see, the master needs true, reliable friends. And when the chela has demonstrated his willingness to sacrifice the ego and truly serve, he is accorded the status of friend.
As the friend works diligently to bind the not-self and gain self-mastery, he merges with the master in consciousness. Through this oneness, the friend then becomes the brother of an ascended master, sharing the full momentum of his attainment, as well as portions of his mantle and authority!
