If I Can, So Can You
by A teacher’s love for children is all that matters to me…
The saint told that woman to some next week. The woman came to him the following week but he once again told her to come the following week. And in this way three weeks passed but no answer came from the saint.
Finally, the saint called the woman and the son and informed them the saint liked the sweets too and he was experimenting for three weeks to see whether he could leave eating sweets or not. The saint said that he was successful in doing so. The boy, though very young, was highly impressed by this practical approach of the saint.
What I mean to say is if an old man can do it, so can a young one. But, unfortunately, in our human world, old are so serious and gloomy that they make the most beautiful of the subjects sad and gloomy. They don’t smile, don’t share their thoughts with the young ones, and never take part in the activities which the young ones are interested in.
I say that my own experience in this world is quite different from the general opinions about life. I see every moment as a new birth. There is inherent delight in all the things if those who have experienced are ready to happily share it with others, not through complex essays, theories, and fiction that are forcibly taught to children in dismal dungeons of our educational departments. I want to see dancing Buddhas, rejoicing Krishnas, and Sheep herding Christ in our schools and colleges. Let the teachers of the world understand that if they don’t love their profession, and they don’t or can’t teach students happily and joyfully, without ever trying to think that they are superior to their students, and then the teachers have no right to remain in those places where education is imparted to children.
My new vision of a new kind of man rests upon the responsible shoulders of only those teachers who are selfless guardians, who are willing to make every effort to make their subjects as interesting and suitable to the demands of their students as they can.
I don’t think that the lofty slogans of UNO, Child care, and other such organizations are going to help in this cause. They provide preventive measures, but I want a revolution in human hearts, and that will come if teachers love their duty and their pupils.
