Sai Inspires - July 05, 2011

You should regard imparting spiritual education as a great opportunity and a sacred task. You should make every attempt to teach the students with love and forbearance, and do this with a pure heart. You should overcome laziness and treat all the children who come to you with more affection than you show to your own children. Gurus must have equal-mindedness and should not discriminate against anyone on the basis of caste, religion or such other aspects. You should inculcate the idea of service in the minds of the children. You should teach them that whenever they eat, they should offer the food to God first. You should also teach them to conduct themselves with humility when they meet their elders. A teacher should not be egoistic; one with ego cannot be a good Guru. Therefore you must make every attempt to be free of ego, learn about your responsibiliti es and do your duty. - Divine Discourse, Summer Showers 1978, Chapter 8.

The first task of teachers is the cultivation of virtue in the hearts of pupils. – Baba
