Dear Suresh,
The human teacher is the one who has Compassion, and hence WILL teach you;
The human teacher is the one who has developed skilful means due to his
compassion, and hence is ABLE to teach you;
The human teacher's life is lived as the life of Nature (which you call the
'whole universe'), and hence the human teacher IS the universe teaching you.
Why not see a teacher who speaks your language and can shake your hand? That
is the human teacher.
Awaken with the human teacher, and then go and sit among the bushes and
grasses, and enlighten THEM. And all beings. And me.
