Sub : The Wheel Of Divine Life - Siksha and Guru sishya relationship

1. Guru is the guide who leads the student on the way, and the disciple is the pilgrim who toils on the ascent of divine life.
2. A progressive refinement of the mental and moral make up of man is the primary objective of divine life. It begins with dedication to some fundamental principles such as truth, purity, and non-injury, the practice of which automatically entails the voluntary enforcement of self-discipline, and ensuing of the process of purification.
3. The implementation of these three fundamental principles in the daily life of the students, in an impeccable manner, itself constitutes the vital part of divine life.
4. Human nature has two sides, the negative and the positive, one trying to preponderate over the other. There are invariably the “Dr. Jekyll” and “Mr. Hyde” elements in every man. When the “Hyde” element dominates, one becomes a social derelict, bringing upon oneself and others all the evil consequences of the boundless passions and destructive sadism of the instinctive part of one’s being. Yet, there are people who have in them a remarkable measure of the “Jekyll” element, which distinguishes them as great benefactors of society, and who are by far in a better position to be in peace with themselves and with others, too.
5. The positive, ultimately overcomes the negative, though, in common experience, the negative forces hold an irrepressible sway over frequent phases in the lives of the most of the people. But, not so with those who have made a beginning in walking the way of reason, of discretion, prudence, divine life. In them the discriminative mind tries to rule over the instinctive part of their being. Viveka guides their actions, Vairagya sanctifies their motives, and Mumukshutva inspires their endeavours—each of the three deriving its strength and light from the spiritual part of their being.
6. To follow the path of truth, purity and non-injury is implicative of the highest form of self-discipline, amounting to neutralising every negative propensity emanating from the lower nature. Truth necessarily indicates, apart from the chastity of speech, the right sense of values, the courage to implement into action what one knows to be true, though it may not be entirely conducive, or may be even detrimental, to one’s material good. Truth also means the strength of will to abide by all positive principles, a sense of justice an unbiased mind, and recognition of the pervasiveness of its subtle essence in all life.
7. Purity is the touchstone of divine life which should have the power of transmuting all that is negative into the positive. The practice of purity covers the entire range of the culturing of emotions, and whatever is implied by self-restraint. It means the practice of the “Shat-sampat” namely, control of mind, and the senses, tranquillity, forbearance, faith and concentration. Purity is physical and mental, since both are interrelated. Purity of thought naturally leads to purity of action as well as the sublimation of the sex-urge. Purity of motive, of life in general, is preliminary to the practice of truth.
8. Non-injury is love, indicated counterwise. Here self-restraint (Yama) is again incumbent. The meaning of non-injury is complete only when it is implemented whole-heartedly—in thought, speech and action. The principles of love compassion, mercy, fellowship and goodwill are all entwined in the term “non-injury.” Unless these principles are fully practised, the virtue of non-injury remains artificial.
9. Whilst love is a direct expression of non-injury, its logical fruition is in service. That much-maligned term “love”, which is overly misapplied to sensual tomfoolery, selfish attachment, circumstantial sentimentality, emotional fixation, and superimposed self-pity, is, indeed, a rare plant that grows only in the garden of divine life and that has to be continuously tended and nurtured to make it enblossom in all its glory. Love and service are inseparable. So, too, with understanding of, and respect for, the feelings of others. One cannot be said to possess love for humanity, and yet be selfish and callous to the suffering of others. The selfless service is divine love in action.
10. If the Students are able to cultivate and practise these three basic tenets of divine life, which, in reality, traverse the entire gamut of practical spirituality, then you are on the road to Self-realisation, the ultimate goal of human aspiration. Even a rudimentary success in this path is greatly conducive to one’s peace and happiness, to the worthiness of existence, to the betterment of human nature, to the good of society and the world at large. A collective awareness of the great importance of divine life, with all its pragmatic values, can surely contribute, in a large measure, to the promotion of world-peace, solidarity and fellowship.
Note -
1. Today teachers are mere book worms, holding prestigious degrees to Doctorates,
2. Students pursue education for job market come out with no skills.
3. Guru Sishya relation ship is totally absent.
4. Guru and Sishya are patron of any political party and interfere the system
5. Both Guru and disciple have no ideal, no ethics, no moral, no character, both are slaves of materialism and instrument or tool of unions to disturb the system.
My view
1. Need to rectify, Education is for knowledge, and skill is for job, If student has no spirit, he is just a body only, so spirituality to be developed among children, youth and adults
