Teaching is something about creating positive attitude towards nature’s creation. It is not like explaining the text book only; it’s all about thinking and respecting how complex the world is and how beautifully it is running without any punishment or homework!!! Nature is not senseless; a good teacher can always develop sense to sense the nature.
Any kind of negative comment can hamper the student’s learning attitude – like you are dumb or you don’t read. It is not the reading that makes a person capable, it is his attitude, his intelligence and his method of watching the things. A teacher should never comment on any of the student about his or her reading time or the time he spends in learning process.
This is a fact that every person loves to be happy. In order to do that one tries to forget the dirty past by erasing it or manipulating it by his own way. I’ll give an example. There is a boy in the school and he is scolded by his teacher daily for not doing his homework. The boy has no interest in doing homework rather he loves watching birds at a nearby lake. He spent his whole the day watching activities of the bird. He comes to know about the amazing life of birds, breeding cycle and their migration cycles just by observing them curiously. Daily he does this, but simultaneously daily he is also scolded by his head master and ultimately was removed from the school for not doing the homework. Still the boy remained so happy and later on he became a well known ornithologist.
Now think momentarily, what would happened in that boy’s mind that he remained so happy despite of such a heavy scolding by principle and parents?
How a boy can remain so stable even after he is removed from his school and isolated from his friends?
Here is a psycho-analysis of that boy’s and hence many other genius’ minds.
A genius mind is always happy and uniform with his inner self. He lives in a superb harmony with himself. So he is stable and determined about what he wants to do. Experiments are the part and parcel of their lives. They like to teach themselves rather others do that for them. Because they are so fast in learning process that they can easily overtake the teaching process of a teacher. They are interested in learning few things only and they are forced to do all. That’s why they feel boring.
A boring mind always searches for a better alternative for fun and of course a genius mind can do this very easily. They find many a things interesting around them and they begin to spend time in understanding them. As they are diverted from the main stream of “Teaching” they are scolded by their teachers for doing “Innovative things”. Initially they feel bad, but as he is a genius, he cannot remain gloomy for more than little time. He always finds an “ESCAPE MECHANISM” for his gloomy mood. He has to do physical or mental separation from the teacher. The physical he cannot do as he is forced to stay in school and learn.
So he acquires a state of mental separation from his teacher. He begins to believe his teacher an obstacle in his path. He begins to ignore him. To do so, he reflexly exaggerates his favourite activity for which he is being scolded to forget all the frustration. For him, his teacher is nothing in his eyes, he begins to bypass the teaching provided by the teacher and refuses believing whatever he says.
This is the basic escape mechanism that develops in each genius mind. “The system doesn’t allow a genius to grow smoothly.” – He begins to believe.
What happens when he becomes a very popular ornithologist, his teacher will come again in the field and will say proudly that “ I taught him from his childhood”. This can happen to anyone at any age as teaching and teaching attitude remains same till one dies.
Now that teacher should think how respectfully that student takes him!!! At least in his career he could have created a very good teacher – student relationship if he had LEARNT that boy’s mind once.
“In fact, teaching is not duty of a teacher; rather he should learn his student’s mind!!!! If he is not able to do so than better he leaves teaching actively. He is not authorised to programme his student’s mind if he don’t know all the colours of it”
A good teacher has always a deep impact on his student’s mind, like hitler was inspired by his history teacher. In this way a teacher can blow winds of change and can created history.

Teaching
The article was written on the day of GURU POORNIMA in 2010, by a person who has excelled the education system twice.
I don’t believe in guru shishya system. Passing knowledge is the duty of any creature in this world. Even a small ant passes her knowledge to her progeny how to find the food and how to return home. Every bird teaches their children to fly. Every tigress teaches their cubs how to hunt.
On Guru Poornima - One should not be obliged to his Guru for the knowledge he gives to him. It is his divine duty to pass knowledge to their students and next generation. Ents and Lions also do the same but they don't seek honour.
In nature every creature passes his knowledge to their progeny and this is how the evolution goes on. This is true on genetical, physical and pschcological aspect.
Then why one should be so conscious about thanking guru being a mankind?
Isn’t it duty of him to pass his knowledge?
There is a very intense sense of getting honour in almost each guru deep inside their mind. They believe that they should be honoured for the knowledge they’ve got. The guru poornima is somewhat same kind of expression they want.
Nobody has evaluated guru’s mind as they believe that he is superior to us, he is unreachable, he is divine and have a glory of radiance around him.
Guru is also a human. He is also filled with feelings. Both positive and negative. He is also filled with joy and sorrow. He is also having problems and solutions. He is also having same kind of personal life and public life like you have. So despite of such similarity why to consider him superior to us?
One should accept that it is guru’s duty to pass the knowledge to his student. So the only dimention for which guru could be honoured is eliminated. Now why one should consider him as a special person? He is the giver and you are taker. You are superior to him because if you don’t do your work sincerely that you are going to ruin that principal of passing knowledge to progeny. So important is you not guru. He is only an easy way to find it out.
I’ve been always dissatisfied form the teachers i got in my life. They couldn’t understand that I never expected anything from him but they did too much form me! There should not be any expectation in the guru shishya relation. It spoils the game.
Somebody denied my radical thought about guru on facebook. They told that our parents are our guru and we should thank them for the knowledge they gave us. But I don’t believe in this. I think Guru shows the way to GOD, and I feel that My Parents are my GOD, not my GURU. They are far superior than simply a GURU. Since i am fragment of them, it is my duty to be GOD for my children. As I complete my job than my prayer will be over!!! This is how GOD lives within us not GURU.
The character GURU was created as an ESCAPE to parenthood.

Freedom and Independency
There is a vast difference between in independency and freedom. One can enjoy freedom even in dependency. "To be dependent" is a bodily word, while freedom concerns with mind.
It was an old era when people used to expand their territory and they believed that having kingdom over a large area is the sign of progress.
The time is changing now. Now such mentality is seen right now. People are more active in matters of science and spirituality. So this kind of attitude is now rarely seen and the word “Dependence” is no more heard. So independency is now no more. These kinds of thoughts are now manifested as “Freedom of mind”.

Prayer
Prayer is not about standing in front of God’s statue and asking him for our well being and prosperity, it’s all about thanking him for the beautiful life he has given us and asking him if he has any work on earth or not!!
One should pray like a king not like a beggar. Because in every human being there is a part of God and the God can’t be beggar. Only mistake the man does that he doesn’t explores himself and finds the God outside in temple.
It is not like that praying can only occur in temple in front of the god’s statue. He is universal; u may feel him anywhere in the glistening day, in a gloomy sky of evening, sparkling waters of a flow, smile of a baby, pulses of life, romance with your buddy and so on... He is everywhere, no one can see him because one can’t see the wind blowing, can’t see the fragrance of flower, can’t see the love showering around, one has to feel it, has to touch it by his inner mind, the unconscious state, and whoever tries to see him in real is the most pity man of the earth.
It is useless to go to temple to meet the God, because i don’t think that he lives there in that busy place filled with beggars. Do we like beggars? Than why should God?
