A mentor can only pray and wait for disciples to develop. That said, those who become arrogant, show no understanding whatsoever of their mentor’s heart, or look down on or shun their mentor cannot be called disciples at all. In such cases, there is no mentor-disciple bond, and no carrying on of its noble spirit.​
