Thank you teachers

How great teachers are, can be accessed through different praises that literature holds sacred until today and beyond.

A timeless Indian Edict goes: “Mata Pita Guru Devam”, translated as, mother, father, teacher and god-a sacred list of the most revered relationships in a strict order. First, comes, the mother (Mata), who gives birth to the child thereby bringing us as a child into the world. Next, comes, the father (Pita) because, it is the mother, who knows about the father points us towards   him. The mother and father, then, take us to the teacher (Guru) and it is through his/her teaching points us to the god (devam). A teacher, thus, stands at a higher stand, at a higher pedestal than the almighty omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient and omnifarious.

Buddhism says, the ones who attained enlightenment after much struggle are the results of a teacher’s guide.

The bible says: “You call me teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am”.

“It is easy to make a buck but is a lot tougher to make a difference”, says, Tom Brakaw. We stand today, like never before and as time passes by, we realize that we stand still longer than what we used to, yesterday. We are not the same person of yesterday, wearing attire of ignorance and surviving. Thus:

In desperate struggle for some words,

Hither and thither, I rushed,

Seeking what I ought to do,

And as I plunged my hands into the heart

I found some divine words to utter-

 “I thank you my teachers!

 Henry brooks Adams once said, “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops”.  Across time and bound, I offer kudos to your profoundness and the influences you have brought in my life.

Thank you teachers.
