A very dear topic to me too - teacher and student relationship !
Agree with both Ramya and Shruti on the lack of respect in today's times !
I guess, it is because of the lack of respect towards any relationship in today's time that has extended itself to teacher- student too.
When all a student is taught right from the earlier days is to succeed in life ( at any cost !), compete with each other and the measure of success is often the wealth one is able to build and how quick ,
Human values have almost disappeared !
Bakti bhav is a wonderful aspect in any relationship but a very essential one between a teacher and student !
This , today is quite difficult to find due to the lack of dedication in most of the teachers aswell as the lack of discipline among the students today . As we do know that the information is what sought for and that is available through various sources and thereby making the teacher who just imparts information irrelevant ! Sad but true ! It pains my heart when I hear of the various instances of how the students behave with teachers these days .
Guess , life style change is a very important reason too. The pace of speed seem to spare no time for these values anymore .
Unless as a society we realise and try making changes at our homes , to bring back the old values of discipline , respect and love for every relationship , it's hard to expect the kids to get these values !
Ram himself was an example who loved and respected everyone equally and so commanded that respect and love from others . He never showed any sign of disrespect or. Disappointment towards Kaikeyi even after her unreasonable demands !
Though it is hard for us to be able to be that perfect , it would benefit if the basics are adopted !
Knowledge in the real sense when imparted will sure lead to a wonderful society ( with values of love and respect to each of the creation !)
P.s. Shruti, I too had not related Bharat and Ram as jeevathma and Paramathma ! That was a very nice interpretation by SKR .
