Teacher… Not all lessons are taught in the classroom…

Teacher…
Not all lessons are taught in the classroom…
If we pay attention to our everyday surroundings, we will surely find something new to learn at every turn.
We can learn a lot from everyone and everything!
All it takes is being a little bit conscious and paying attention instead of going through the events like a brainless machine because you just never know who your next “teacher” will be.
Let’s take a moment to look back on all the people, circumstances, situations and events that shaped our lives with the lessons they taught us.
We should learn valuable lessons from people who came in and out of our life.
We have to learn a lot from both failed relations and the relations that grew stronger with time.
Betrayal teaches us forgiveness.
Unconditional love teaches us trust.
Depression teaches us to see through the cracks of life.
Burnout teaches us the value of priorities.
A homeless man teaches us to be grateful to what we owe.
A farmer teaches us to hard work.
It is often said that there is no better teacher than life itself, we should be appreciative of the valuable lessons that makes us who we are.
Living in a diverse society, we are surrounded by people from different walks of life.
We daily interact with people rather it’s knowingly or unknowingly, each interaction teaches us something just we should have that sight to grab it.
We learn by watching others, by listening to what others say, by observing actions and reactions, by doing what others do.
Life often throws various circumstances at us. How we find a way out of our problems and how we don’t get over-exempted by our success, in short how do we deal with those circumstances teaches us a lot about ourselves.
Life is what we make it out to be. We enter this world and we leave this world. What happens in between is what our lives are made up of. Life teaches us the most important lessons that are there to learn, and thus life become the greatest teacher of all.
At times life is hard.
It’s badly tough.
And you know it doesn’t say sorry when it slaps you in the face.
Life also, doesn’t pick you up and soothe your wounds.
It stands back and stares at you.
It won’t yell get up neither it would offer words of encouragement to us.
Life needs to see our mettle(ability to cope up with difficulty) or strength.
We must be resilient and ready for the next test.
Life is a teacher with no remorse(feeling of sadness because you have done something wrong) for our mistakes.
However, the lessons it teaches are invaluable.
When it’s the matter of a teacher how can we forget nature.

Each and every being in nature teach us crucial life lessons.
It’s up to us do we learn from it or just ignore it.
Nature has its own ways to teach people and make them aware of its importance. Global warming and climate change are the two major ways in which nature is trying to teach us some lessons.
Nature is the reason that life came into existence upon earth.
The wind teaches us to move constantly and never to be stagnant in life.
The trees teach us to stand tall, despite of the difficulties and hardships we have to face.
Water teaches us to adapt ourselves to the different situations in our life.
Nature is a silent teacher, friend, philosopher and guide. It removes all our pain, agonies, despairs and grieves. If we become merged with it we find ourselves in an elevated state of consciousness.
Nature teaches us all the life-transforming lessons of greatness, beauty, patience, hard work, peace, renewal, abundance, generosity, kindness, acceptance, self-reliance, and much more.
Nature teaches us many things, but my favorite example is...
Each plant is different. Some need to be watered once a week and some more often. Some need direct sunlight, others just a spot of sun. Each plant is unique. Each plant will respond to proper care and maintenance.
Metaphorically, nature teaches us that each person just needs to be treated with care and be handled in the proper “light” to thrive at their best capabilities. When we take the time to learn what those specific things are, we watch our friends and loved ones “flourish” to realms in their life beyond all expectations…because “the only limits are those we place on ourselves” for there are no limits..
Nature’s constant cycles reveal a rhythm of death and rebirth like day and night, moon cycles and seasons. It teaches us about the necessity of change how change brings about balance and renewal. Nature teaches us about co dependency; everything is connected and us, humans are nothing more or less than a part of the whole. It teaches us the importance of every drop of rain in this ocean we call life. Each one of us, not only human beings but every leaf, every weed, exists in the way it does, only because everything else around it does. The individual and the universe are inseparable.
Not all lessons are taught in the classroom…

Environment destruction or an ages old tradition ??

Image
A lot such things are done on Dusshera which shouldn’t be done as they are incorrect rather useless too… For example first let us consider distributing Apta leaves  (Bauhinia racemosa) as gold on Dusshera, may it be a long tradition now needs to be corrected. On one hand we give messages to save environment & on the contrary pluck the Apta leaves unnecessarily... But now the number of apta trees has come down drastically and there is a need to save these trees. The apta tree has no fragrance and does not bear fruit. So very few people plant it. As a result, the number of apta trees has decreased. Apta trees are found outside the village. The sellers bring in large quantities of apta leaves to sell on Dussehra in the market. Whereas, on the next day large quantity of dried apta leaves can be found thrown in the garbage. Therefore, offering apta leaves on Dussehra is merely destroying the environment. Apta tree has scientific importance, the ability to absorb carbon dioxide emitt...

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi)

Generations to come will scare believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood. -Albert Einstein (to Mahatma Gandhi) Mahatma Gandhi was a visionary leader. He was the pioneer of Satyagraha movements. He inspired people to understand and learn resistance through non-violent civil disobedience. There are a lot of misgivings about Mahatma Gandhi in the mind of our people. Unlike I had already mentioned one in my previous article ‘Independence Day’ released on August 15 2021. (Attaching the link below https://janhavidudhane7.blogspot.com/2021/08/independence-day.html ) Gandhiji initially and from a very long time continued to oppose partition. He said Partition can happen only on his dead body. He even suggested that let Jinnah be the prime minister if that can avoid partition. [Jinnah was a dying man (a well guarded secret). He had less than a year to live. He wanted to ensure partition happens before he is gone.] Britishers wanted to sho...

Why celebrate teacher’s day as 5th of September???

Why celebrate teacher’s day as 5th of September??? Why celebrate teacher’s day as 5th of September as birthday of the plagiarize man In a country where teacher is worshipped, if he steals his students thesis and publishes it by his own name what are we supposed to call him??? Teacher deserves to be a respected person… Not a plagiarize person… In the January 1929 issue of the Modern Review, Jadunath Sinha made a sensational claim regarding Dr. Radhakrishnan Sarvepalli None other than Radhakrishnan Sarvepalli had plagiarized from him his Indian Philosophy Volume II. He had lifted several passages from Sinha’s thesis. The battle spilled over into the February, March and April issues of the magazine too as Sinha cited several more passages to bolster his claim. Radhakrishnan hit back with letters in the February and March issues. In August 1929, Sinha sued Radhakrishnan. Radhakrishnan counter-sued both Sinha and Ramnath Chattopadhyay, the editor of Modern Review...
