3.3  What is to become a real disciple?

        Becoming a real disciple is a task that begins when a person realizes that he was in a state of error that is he was unaware of the Christ but once he comes to the knowledge of Christ he possesses the truth.  He becomes a new creature in the sense of becoming a man of different quality. In so far as he was in the state of error he was running away from the truth but after he has opened himself to the presence of Christ his life takes the opposite direction. This change is called conversion. This conversion cannot take place unless it is taken up in his consciousness. With this consciousness he will take the leave of his former state by being sad for remaining so long in the state of error. This grief is called as Repentance after which he looks forward to quicken his life towards reaching Christ. This whole process of transition from his former state to the present is nothing but new birth. It is because when enters into the world he’s completely a new person.
