THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
Teaching is the process in which the teacher and the taught co-operate, 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.
