I want to be able to call myself your disciple.

Question

Dear Master: I want to be able to call myself your disciple, but something holds me back at a certain point. I feel that I do not yet deserve it, that I am not worthy of you, even though I feel a daily connection and deep gratitude because I was able to change (my) life after learning of you. Is this my ego and pride? Am I imprisoned “between the shame of being an animal and the fear of being God”? What does it mean to be a disciple? Is it surrender and love?
Thank you very much. Alejandro

Answer from Master Kosen

Continuing the practice day after day, year after year, makes being a disciple a reality.
