If a disciple has expectations from the Guru, what should they be? And if the Guru has any expectations from the disciple, what should they be?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

You work out the calculations yourself! Be dedicated, have determination, be in surrender and have thirst for knowledge.

Actually, the Guru doesn't really have any expectations. For instance, the Principal of a school knows there are students in different grades -- nursery, first, second or third grade. If you ask him, "What do you expect from these children?" What will he say? They should all come to class in time, and learn with dedication, isn’t it? He will certainly not expect a primary class child to recite a poem of the fifth grade.
You are here right? And if you are here now,just keep working.
