TEACHER & GURU ( Teacher's Day )

Guru Brahama, Guru Vishnu

Guru Devo Maheswaram,

Guru Sakshat Param Brahma,

Tasmay Shri Guruve Namah !

A teacher takes responsibility of your growth,

                  A Guru makes you responsible for your growth.

 

A teacher gives you things you do not have and require,

                A Guru takes away things you have and do not require.

A teacher answers your questions,

                A Guru questions your answers.

A teacher helps you get out of the maze,

                A Guru destroys the maze.

A teacher requires obedience and discipline from the pupil,

                A Guru requires trust and humility from the pupil.

A teacher clothes you and prepares you for the outer journey,

               A Guru strips you naked and prepares you for the inner journey.

A teacher is aguide on the path,

               A Guru is a pointer to the way.

A teacher sends you on the road to success,

               A Guru sends you on the road to freedom.

A teacher explains the world and its nature to you,

               A  Guru explains yourself and your nature to you.

A teacher makes you understand how to move about in the world,

              A Guru show you where you stand in relation to the world.

A teacher gives you knowledge and boosts your ego,

              A Guru takes away your knowledge and punctures your ego.

A teacher instructs you,

             A Guru constructs you.

A teacher sharpens your mind,

             A Guru opens your mind.

A teacher show you the way to prosperity,

             A Guru shows the way to serenity.

A teacher reaches your mind,

             A Guru taouches your soul.

A teacher gives you knowledge, 

              A Guru makes you wise.

A teacher gives you maturity,

              A Guru returns you to innocence.

A teacher instructs you on how to solve problems,

              A Guru shows you how to resolve issues.

A teacher is a systematic thinker,

              A Guru is a lateral thinker.

A teacher will punish you with a stick,

             A Guru will punish you with compassion.

A teacher is to pupil what a father is to son,

            A Guru is to pupil what mother is to her child.

Once can always find a teacher,

             But a Guru has to find and accept you.

A teacher leads you by the hand,

             A Guru leads you by example.

When a teacher finishes with you,

                                                  you graduate,

When a Guru finishes with you,

                                              you celebrate.

When the course is over you are thankful to the teacher,

             When the discourse is over you are grateful to the Guru
