Guru has responsibility for the sisya or disciple; he has full responsibility

Guru has responsibility for the śiṣya or disciple; he has full responsibility, you understand? So guru must examine very carefully, "Whether—if I’ll accept this person as a disciple—who knows if he’ll obey me or not, whether he’ll be obedient to my disciplining or not?” So he’ll examine. Then he may accept.
