On the occasion of Teacher’s Day (being celebrated in India), what is the message to the teaching fraternity across the world? Bhagawan, the Master Trainer, guides us today. Today’s Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam - 5 Sep, 2013 Teaching is the process in which the teacher and the taught cooperate, a pleasant and useful experience for both. When teachers enter the classroom, children salute them; that is a lesson in humility, in respecting age and scholarship, and in gratitude for the service rendered. The teachers too, should decide to deserve the salutation through their sincere efforts and selfless service. Move the students through your love. Do not win the respect of the student through fear. Education is a slow process, like the unfolding of a flower, the fragrance becoming deeper and more perceptible as the flower silently blossoms, one petal at a time. The unfolding will be helped if the teacher is a fine example of discrimination, humility and clear-sightedness, rather than a person engaged in the task of mere repetitive teaching and coaching for examinations. Example, not precept, is the best teaching aid. Sri Sathya Sai Baba - Divine Discourse, Sep 9, 1958.
