Noble Words : “A teacher in life is blessing in disguise."

The presence of teachers / guru in our life is very important. The emergence of so many spiritual gurus in recent times is an indication that people started to seek a teacher blessings. Teachers directly influence the lives of countless students, shaping their perspectives and preparing them for future challenges and opportunities. Teachers often act as pillars of their communities, engaging with families and contributing to positive societal change.
At many a times, it has been noticed that the students start to neglect teaching of their masters. Resulting in conflict of interest. In Sanskrit we have following verses which teaches that we should always be obedient towards our masters or teachers.

ज्ञानमन्त्रसदाचारैर्गौरवं भजते गुरुः|

तस्माच्छिष्य: क्षमीभूत्वा गुरुवाक्यं न लङ्घयेत्||

Gyaaanmantrsadaacharairgauraavam bhajate Guruh,
Tasmacchishyah kshameebhootvaa Guruvaakyam na langhayet.

Gyaana + mantra + sadaachaaraih + gauravam.
Gyaana = Knowledge
Mantra = consultation.
Sadaachaaraiha = good manners.
Gauravam = dignity, admiration.
Bhajate = revere, give respect.
Gurum = teacher.
Tasmaacchishyah = tasmaat + shishyah.
Tasmaat = therefore.
Shishyah = a student.
Kshmeebhootvaa = kshmee + bhootvaa. Kshami = patience, endurance.
Bhootvaa = by becoming.
Guruvaakyam = commands or instructions of the Teacher.
Na = not.
Langhayet = go beyond or against.

Highlighting the importance of teacher, the verses teaches that, It is the duty of a student that he should revere his Guru / teacher / master intelligently with good manners and admiration. Therefore, he should be very patient and never go beyond or against the instructions given by his Guru.

Students might feel they know more about a certain topic than their teacher, especially in rapidly evolving fields like technology, where teachers might not be as current with the latest information. This situation might lead to discontent. We should remember that a positive learning environment depends on mutual respect between teachers and students, where students understand the teacher's role as a guide and mentor. A student should never disrepect their teacher.

Learning is Passion!!
