*Question: Sir, what does it mean to be a Teacher?*
Answer: Going through Shankar’s works and then a few Upanishads, I am humbled by the pain these teachers have taken to bring the concept to the student.
From these observations, I have tried to learn a few things about the technology of teaching. What does it mean to be a teacher? It means: I am a nobody.It means I cannot have a characteristic style. It means I cannot carry a particular personality that I feel comfortable in.
I cannot say ‘This is the way I teach’.
I cannot say ‘I will not touch these texts or pay respect to your gods.I will not even refer to them. It doesn’t matter that these texts and gods run through the very fibre of your mind.’
