Thanks teacher

THANKS TEACHER

Teacher is the one who teaches . In past 28 years of my life I have seen many teachers , learnt from them what they could teach and what they cudnt . here iam penning down some of my thought processes in order to give my views an outlet for further inlet. Most of the teachers in this present decade in India is more or less like a dictator. However in the light and guidance  of my master H.H.Sri Sri Ravishankar ji I have unfolded certain parts of my brain in the process of being teacher and a student also . Learning from teachers who could effectively teach and also from those who couldn’t. here is a proforma of my experiences.

A teacher shoud live like a practical examples of what he teaches cause not just words is the way he is going to impart the thought process but he should be able to project himself with all the five senses, good intentions, love and also with the modern changing envt. situations and technologies.

A teacher shoud work on the principles of democracy rather than dictatorship involving students, learning through them , learning about them, understanding their mind, looking through their intellect and acting like them in order to get tem. It is sadid that your first teacher are your parents , it is also the other way around also, the teacher is the parent who moulds you, flexes u and recreates u , who give direction to the evergoing thoughts and redirects you to the infinite.

There are very huge number of objectives to define a teacher starting from patience, preservance …… to compassion , summing all we get = LOVE. Yes love is the ultimate fuel which should be flowing in our veins in order to do the part. Love cannot br substantiated or could be acquired from somewhere. It is like swimming in the river and asking for water. U r love , coming back to the teaching aspect lets get into the practical points after stating quantum application of teaching.

1. All your lectures should be an interactive sessions rather than one way traffic.

2. Students should not only be imparted knowledge but it should be extracted out of them so that learning becomes fun and enjoyable.

3.   Students should be dealt with utter patience , generousity and love.

4. Student age is the time when they should be pampered with confidence and enthusiasm and to make them believe that yes they can achieve everything. This doesn’t mean them to take away from reality but not to ever put cold water on their enthusiasm. They should be pumped enough so that they are not afraid of pursuing their dreams cause even if they fail they will end uo knowing themselves better.

5. Love is the only way to conquer the heart of people/students. No other way is their to reach to this organ.

6. Dictating notes depends upon the class u r teaching. If it’s a professional class then guiding with refrances / citations is better than dictating.

7.Be an inspiration rather than a teacher. The ability of mind is to create and adapt is incomprehensible hence have trust in your students and guide them to make their own paths. More than teaching a subject we should inspire more so that the student learn from the source itself which is the small mind in the big mind.

8. Being a teacher your expectations and attachments should be superseded by the unending compassion like a mother to a child who tell him the same thing ‘n’ no of times inspite of his forgetful memory, non seriousness, erratic and irrational behavior.

9. A teacher should have the intention and action to make his students beyond him inevery aspect.

10.He should prepare for the lecture he is going to deliver and should value  students and his own time as well.

11. He should dress nicely and should set an eg of himself more rather then just being newspaper reader and  rather than explaining things hypothetically i.e. to be an example setter rather than a newspaper reader.

In the end I would like to give my thanks note to my teachers starting from the first teacher in my memory i.e first to my father Shri K.C. Shashtri who taught me more than subjects , mostly the patience ,which I was lacking the most, who handled and tolerated the reckless child one could ever get in the most calm manner one could ever do , iam very grateful to his lotus feet for his love and preservance. Second in my list is my revered master H.H.SriSri Ravishankar Ji. He broadened my vision , opened my eyes , made me alive and connected me to the universal existence. Third I wanted to thank every single atom of this universe who directly/indirectly taught me itself and beyond.

Thank you creation.
