A True Lover

A True Lover

The word 'LOVE', the very moment it is heard takes most of them to the imagination of sexual act of human beings. Well, it is just a basic instinct like any other species possess. Then what is true love?

Today, I had a dream. I was in a school by chance and in one of the class, teacher had to go out for a moment due to some emergency. So, she asked me if I can take the class for time being. I never taught any students before, so I was bit hesitant on this. But somehow she convinced me, introduced me to the class and left.

So, I was standing for the first time in the place where my teachers used to stand. I don't know what kicked in. I asked the peon to bring some chocolates for the entire class in a bag. He brought the chocolates and gave it to me.  Every single one of the children were silently looking at the bag thinking they are in for the treat.

First thing came to my mind is to build the trust with your students. I didn't know what subject to take, I just wanted to manage the show for time being. I introduced myself and asked each one of them to introduce themselves standing right next to me along with what they would love to do most. For this each one of you will get a chocolate. Every one were very happy to introduce themselves. It was a nursery class and believe me the answer you get from a mind without a pinch of hatred in it will bring happiness in you.

Then I asked each one of them to tell only one good thing they see or feel about your close friend in the class. I don't remember the answers, but I saw that in the dream I was so happy, enjoying in the middle of godly flowers with a tremendous soothing scent. Back in our days even after getting into college we struggled to say I love you. But now, if you ask a child what is the good thing you like most in your friend. Some of them would say, 'She is beautiful and I think I love her'. An elderly gossip would start very next moment in the nursery class. That's the present situation.

By this activity, every one were so happy hearing good things from their besties. A strong bond was building among them. I played them a video on the screen which I still remember from my childhood. 'Ek thitali, ek aur thitali' song which is still fresh in my mind. Everyone were enjoying and were so happy.

By this time the teacher came back to see me crying in the middle of children with tears of joy. Literally tears were draining down my cheeks. For me they are not children but God in that form. The most delicate flower I have seen is the children. They have to be handled with utmost care. Every class outcome should be happiness more than knowledge. Knowledge without morals is of no use. Now a days, I just see a ill treated AI system coming out of schools.

To be a Guru, is to have utmost patience, love and trust in each of his deciples. Only then he can deliver a bunch of flowers with heavenly fragrance. A True Lover....

Om Namah Shivaya 🙏
