Teachers

School- The King’s School

When life wanted to bless you, he gave you a teacher. He isthe ultimate gift of God. A teacher is noble, sweet and humble. He gives and knowsonly to give. A teacher is a visionary, a seer, a sage, a saint. He is down toearth. He is profound. He is great. He is wonderful. He is joy. He is theultimate.

A teacher is not ordinary, because he can make youextraordinary. He understands you like no one else. He comes into your life tochange the way you look at life. You are no more the same again. Yourunderstanding of things change, your knowledge grows, you grow. Life will neverbe the same again for you.

A teacher is active. Yet he is detached. He teaches,inspires and guides. He transforms. He gives you a purpose in life. He teachesyou not only on the platform and through lectures, but he leads by example. Hemeans what he says. He is experienced. He practices what he preaches. He is knowledgeincarnate. He is the answer to every question. He is the solution to everyproblem.

A teacher can create and he can also destroy. He builds anation, a society and also an individual. He can do what a politician,economist and businessman cannot. He forms systems, creates processes and givesan order to everything around. He knows how to teach, manage and lead. He is aninstitution by himself. He is everywhere. He is everything.

A teacher never differentiates between students. He teachesstudents, as per the level of their understanding. Whenever a student needs ateacher, he will come. He is always there. In every age, era, time and placethe teacher is the same. A teacher seems different for different people. But heis the same life principle expressing in different forms.

He is a master, Guru, friend, philosopher and guide. He issilent. He is silence. He is beyond. He is perfect. He is perfection. He canunlock treasures within your heart. He gives you insight into the secrets ofthe universe.

When he calls, you cannot stop. It is the ultimate calling.You get a purpose in your life. You get a reason to live. You are no moreafraid of death. When you work towards his vision, you find the joy whichmoney, power and people cannot give you. Work fulfils itself.

You can never fully understand a teacher. He is a mystery.He is beyond the body, the mind and the intellect. He is the ultimate truthexpressing through that body. He is a revelation. He is enlightenment.

He is pure, and makes you pure. He destroys your ego andmakes you humble. He makes you divine. With him all your search ends. You stop.You open out into a world, where only your teacher can take you.

You can pay anyone, but you can never repay your debt toyour teacher. A teacher gives everything to you. Finally a teacher makes youanother teacher.
