Inheritance

Inheritance in Java is achieved by the keyword extends.

A true Guru is a God-realized spiritual teacher.
A Guru is in union (yoga) with the divine consciousness of God… a Guru is an extension of God.
This example shows the Guru inheriting all of God’s divine properties.
The Guru’s disciples inherit the Guru’s properties and God’s properties, from the Guru.

Java NetBeans project Inheritance:

/*
keyword extends allows a class to inherit the fields and methods of another class
*/
