In the olden days, even before imparting knowledge to his disciples, the Guru (preceptor) would assign them different tasks that they had to perform in his hermitage. This was done with a purpose. One important object of work is purification of the Chittha (heart). Once the heart is purified one is ready to receive the teachings of the Guru. Thus, in the olden days the disciples were given work in the beginning, and after the disciples were purified by doing work, and the teacher was satisfied regarding the student's ripeness for receiving spiritual instruction, the teacher would start imparting Self-Knowledge.
Pada zaman dahulu, bahkan sebelum menyampaikan pengetahuan kepada murid-murid-nya, Guru (pendidik) akan memberikan mereka tugas-tugas yang berbeda yang harus dilakukan di pertapaannya. Hal ini dilakukan dengan suatu tujuan. Salah satu tujuan penting dari melakukan suatu pekerjaan adalah pemurnian Chittha (hati). Setelah hati dimurnikan seseorang siap untuk menerima ajaran-ajaran dari Guru. Jadi, di zaman dahulu. para murid diberikan pekerjaan di awal, dan setelah mereka dimurnikan dengan melakukan pekerjaan, dan guru merasa puas tentang kematangan siswa untuk menerima instruksi spiritual, guru akan mulai menanamkan Self-Knowledge (pengetahuan Atma).
