Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 11 - Chapter 1 - Verse 29
Sanskrit:
शुश्रूषमाण आचार्यं सदोपासीत नीचवत् ।यानशय्यासनस्थानैर्नातिदूरे कृताञ्जलि: ॥ २९ ॥
ITRANS:
śuśrūṣamāṇa ācāryaṁsadopāsīta nīca-vatyāna-śayyāsana-sthānairnāti-dūre kṛtāñjaliḥ
Translation:
While engaged in serving the spiritual master one should remain as a humble servant, and thus when the guru is walking the servant should humbly walk behind. When the guru lies down to sleep, the servant should also lie down nearby, and when the guru has awakened, the servant should sit near him, massaging his lotus feet and rendering other, similar services. When the guru is sitting down on his āsana, the servant should stand nearby with folded hands, awaiting the guru’s order. In this way one should always worship the spiritual master.
