Teachers are like mirrors. They can rightly be called preceptors of the
world. They can impart knowledge, but, the knowledge has to be cultivated by
the disciples; without independent effort, one cannot get salvation. Hence, we
can say, “The teachers are torch bearers, and the disciples are to walk on the
path”. It is important to choose a right teacher to walk on a right path. It is
said, we enjoy the fruit of previous birth in the present time, which we call
“KARMA PHALA”. Hence, to be with a real
teacher is also decided by one’s “KARMA PHALA”.
A real teacher always accelerates act of reformation (sanskara); because,
only he/she knows sixteen “SANSKARAS”recommended for a human. He/she reforms a
child from the mother’s womb and shows the torch for the entire journey i.e.
from “GARBHADHARANA” to “SANYASA”. In between GARBHADHARANA and SANYASA a child
has to cross fourteen stages of life, where he needs guidance of a real GURU or
else he/she becomes distract.
Here, SANSKARA means cleanness. Hence, a teacher cleans or yips out
different VIKARS or bad habits of a child by his valuable advice. Hence, we can
say a teacher discovers the good quality of a child and inspires to cultivate
it, but cannot accompany the child throughout his journey. The words of the teacher travel with the
child throughout his journey to guide him. Therefore, a teacher can rightly be
called a lighthouse in the deep sea and his/her words are like the ray of the
lighthouse that shows right direction in the deep sea. Hence, without a real
teacher life of a human is miss-compassed.
