Teacher - Guru

Teacher - Guru: HH Bhakti Caru Swami  Teacher - Guru  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 a guide 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 shows 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 shows you the way to prosperity  A Guru shows the way to serenity  A teacher reaches your mind  A Guru touches 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 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  One 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
