Happy Teachers Day
Today during Satsang, somebody wished "Happy Teachers Day" to Guruji
Here is what Guruji told, as we understood (not exact verbatim).
Everybody should play the role of a teacher, in some part of their life. As everybody is a son or a daughter, brother or a sister, everybody should play the role of a teacher also at some point.
A teacher (Guru) means unconditional love – he gives everything, and expects nothing in return. A good teacher is happy with the growth of the student.
A good teacher teaches with out even thinking about his position as a teacher. The joy is in becoming no body.
A lot of qualities will dawn on you as you grow on the path. Some times you will get some visions, you may get the ability to heal people – but then you should not get stuck into that. A good teacher will honor everybody, and will be very natural and simple.
Some times, people become teachers everywhere – they start teaching in home also, to their wife, children etc. This is not the way.
Once for a basic course, a gentleman came with his wife. When ever the teacher was mentioning a course point, like “accept people as they are”, he started repeating the same thing to his wife – “Look, this is what I tell to you – accept people as they are – now the teacher is also saying the same thing”
You should apply knowledge yourself, instead of advising others to apply knowledge.
