Guru Devo Bhava
Guru Brahma Guru Vishnu
Guru Devo Maheswara
Guru Saaksat Param Brahma
Tasmai Shri Guruve Namaha
These lines portray a teacher perfectly. They mean, Guru is Brahma (who plants the qualities of goodness), Guru is Vishnu (who nurtures and fosters the qualities of goodness), Guru is Maheswara (who weeds out the bad qualities), Guru is the supreme Brahman itself, prostration unto that Guru.
Our Indian culture has always equalled the the position of a teacher with our parents or even higher. A teacher is an ocean of knowledge for his students. It is a teacher who moulds the future of a child ; who teaches a child the meaning of life ; who like parents, takes utmost care of a child. And that's why most teachers address their students as, " My children." A teacher has the most challenging life, trying to make each understand either with a stick or with love. A teacher gives all his knowledge to his students hoping they would take it one step further. Its true that,
A teacher
Takes a hand
Opens a mind
Touches a heart
Shapes the future.
A mediocre teacher teacher teaches, a good one demonstrates and a great one inspires. Being a teacher is difficult, after all, "A child is not a vessel to be filled, but a lamp to be lit."

Take care,
