TEACHING – AN ACTION OF EXPRESSION OF CARE

A teacher with 20 years of teaching experience was asked by a student, “Don’t you get bored by teaching the same subjects for children for several years. Even we get bored of learning, when concepts are studied twice or thrice.” The sympathetic teacher replied, “Dear child! Never my objective was focussed on deliverance of subjects but focussed towards expression of my love towards my students. So, I don’t get bored.”

Class rooms are the foundry where students are moulded by the mixture of love from a teacher. Teachers are figured equivalent to parents in the sacred Indian epic, Mahabharata. Rabindranath Tagore portrays with reference to ancient Vedas, the objective of a teacher, “A teacher has an ultimate responsibility of selfless deliverance of his accumulated knowledge resource to his students, without expectation of any material gifts.” Our thoughts are organized, purified, manipulated by our teachers. Teacher’s directions can create new direction in our life. Teaching is a noble action, which create noble men.

Identifying perfect teacher is the greatest hurdle, we encounter in our search of enlightenment. Once Swami Vivekananda said, “Give me a dedicated youth, I will revolutionize the world!” But, at present, we have number of dedicated youths, but, we couldn’t find a dedicated teacher like Swami Vivekananda to direct.
