Devi
(In response to a question: in the context of Shiva Sutras where Shiva delivered Shiva Sutras to Devi, is Devi the perfect disciple of Shiva?)
She is perfect because she is already enlightened. She is a part of Shiva. Shiva talks to Himself and therefore there is no editing required. When you speak to yourself, do you edit? No! You edit because you want to be culturally decent and socially polite outside. To yourself, you can express the Truth as it is. She is totally in tune, she is in love with Shiva. She has already reached the Consciousness of Shiva. That is why she is the perfect disciple and listener. She is a perfect disciple because she is already a Guru! A perfect Guru can be a perfect disciple but a perfect disciple is not necessarily a perfect guru.
