&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;A disciple means who voluntarily agrees to be disciplined by the spiritual master&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;

Because he has accepted the leadership of Kṛṣṇa, therefore Kṛṣṇa is chastising him in this way. He is chastising in this way, that Arjuna was talking with Kṛṣṇa as friends. So friends means equal status, but he gave up that status. He took the status of a disciple. A disciple means who voluntarily agrees to be disciplined by the spiritual master. When one becomes disciple, he cannot disobey the order of the spiritual master. Śiṣya. Śiṣya, this word, comes from the root śās-dhātu, means &amp;quot;I accept your ruling.&amp;quot; So previously Arjuna has accepted, śiṣyas te &amp;#039;haṁ śādhi māṁ prapannam: [Bg. 2.7] &amp;quot;I am now surrendered to You, and I agree voluntarily to accept Your ruling.&amp;quot; This is the relationship between the spiritual master and the disciple.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Śiṣya means who accepts the ruling of his spiritual master; and disciple means also the same thing, who becomes disciplined by the spiritual master&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;

This is called tapasya. Tapo. Tapasya. Tapasya means I am habituated to smoking, suppose, and the spiritual master says, &amp;quot;You cannot smoke.&amp;quot; So if he gives up smoking, he feels some inconvenience, some uncomfortable position. But because the spiritual master has ordered, he gives it up. This is called tapasya. Even at his inconvenience, he abides by the order of the spiritual master, regulative principle. That is called tapasya. He feels some inconvenience, but what can be done? He has accepted one spiritual master. A spiritual master means voluntarily accepting a great personality whose rules and regulations he must abide by. This is accepting of spiritual master, voluntarily accepting somebody, &amp;quot;Yes, sir. Whatever you say, I&amp;#039;ll accept.&amp;quot; Śiṣya. Śiṣya means who abides by the rules. That is called śiṣya. Or English, &amp;quot;discipline.&amp;quot; From discipline, disciplic, disciplic succession. From the discipline. So either you take English or Sanskrit, the same meaning. Śiṣya means who accepts the ruling of his spiritual master; and disciple means also the same thing, who becomes disciplined by the spiritual master.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Śyāmasundara: Śrīla Prabhupāda, this afternoon we were discussing about austerities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prabhupāda: Hmm?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Śyāmasundara: About austerities. If you don&amp;#039;t practice voluntarily austerities, then you must involuntarily practice some austerities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prabhupāda: Yes, under the direction of spiritual master. You have no mind to follow austerities, but when you accept a spiritual master you have to carry out the order. That is austerity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Śyāmasundara: Even if you don&amp;#039;t want to practice austerity, you must. You are forced to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prabhupāda: No, because... You have got... You have surrendered to your spiritual master. His order is final. So even if you don&amp;#039;t like, you have to do it. To please me. Even you don&amp;#039;t like. Nobody likes to fast, but spiritual master says, &amp;quot;Today is fasting,&amp;quot; so what can be done? (laughter) This is austerity. And disciple means who has voluntarily agreed to be disciplined by the spiritual master. That is austerity. (Loudspeaker in background is very loud.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Śyāmasundara: Say, like our parents or many people in the material world, completely addicted to material life. They don&amp;#039;t want to follow any austerities, uncomfortable, but still they must. By nature they&amp;#039;re forced to austerities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prabhupāda: That is forced austerity; that is not good. Voluntary austerity will help.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
