Neophyte disciples rarely know how to take advantage of vapuh. They think that vapuh is an opportunity for them to show off to their spiritual master. They want him to see how good they are, how surrendered, etc. When the spiritual master comes, they jump on the spiritual master with their hands up straight, “See how surrendered I am?!” When spiritual master leaves, they immediately fall into maya. They don’t understand that vapuh is meant to provide them with an opportunity to hear the spiritual master’s instructions and to observe His example.
