Gurudev, does a Guru punish a disciple?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
Why should a Guru punish? He doesn’t need to punish. If you do something wrong, you will face the consequences naturally. The Guru doesn’t have to do the job of punishing, he only wishes that you grow out of your misery. And if you do mistakes, misery will come to you.
The Guru will try to take you out of misery once, twice, three times, and then he may say that maybe you should be little miserable then you will come out of it slowly. But Guru will never punish.
