A TEACHER - Radhakrishnan Pillai

 

When life wanted to bless you, he gave you a teacher. He is the

ultimate gift of God. A teacher is noble, sweet and humble. He gives

and knows only to give. A teacher is a visionary, a seer, a sage, a

saint. He is down to earth. He is profound. He is great. He is

wonderful. He is joy. He is the ultimate.

 

A teacher is not ordinary, because he can make you extraordinary. He

understands you like no one else. He comes into your life to change

the way you look at life. You are no more the same again. Your

understanding of things change, your knowledge grows, you grow. Life

will never be 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 teaches

you not only on the platform and through lectures, but he leads by

example. He means what he says. He is experienced. He practices what

he preaches. He is knowledge incarnate. He is the answer to every

question. He is the solution to every problem.

 

A teacher can create and he can also destroy. He builds a nation, a

society and also an individual. He can do what a politician,

economist and businessman cannot. He forms systems, creates

processes and gives an order to every thing around. He knows how to

teach, manage and lead. He is an institution by himself. He is

everywhere. He is everything.

 

A teacher never differentiates between students. He teaches

students, as per the level of their understanding. Whenever a

student needs a teacher, he will come. He is always there. In every

age, era, time and place the teacher is the same. A teacher seems

different for different people. But he is the same life principle

expressing in different forms.

 

He is a master, Guru, friend, philosopher and guide. He is silent.

He is silence. He is beyond. He is perfect. He is perfection. He can

unlock treasures within your heart. He gives you insight into the

secrets of the 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 more

afraid of death. When you work towards his vision, you find the joy

which money, 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

truth expressing through that body. He is a revelation. He is

enlightenment.

 

He is pure, and makes you pure. He destroys your ego and makes 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 to your

teacher. A teacher gives everything to you. Finally a teacher makes

you another teacher.

 

There is no service greater than serving your teacher. Fix your mind

on the teacher and devoted to him, lead our life. Take refuge in

him. He will destroy your delusion. He will liberate you from all

ignorance and miseries. He will make your life fulfilled..
