Guru Purnima

 'Teachers affect eternity, no one can tell where their influence stops.'

Anybody and everybody can be our teacher. The teacher can be within a friend, stranger, janitor, social worker, or our parents.

We as humans learn from everything around us; from situations, nature, and the people around us. Nature teaches us not to hurry, but accomplish everything, nature teaches that everything has a purpose, rather than judging we must value their existence. Life teaches us not to be upset about our failures because afterward our yearning for success grows and we become more determined to achieve it. Every person around us teaches something or the other in varied ways.

Even we learn from the negative-minded people, we learn to be cautious, to think twice before we take a step.

Our most important teacher is 'time'. Time teaches us to value every moment in life and to learn from our mistakes and move on.

Mother, our first teacher, who taught us to stand on our feet, the simplest thing that we can do easily like walking, speaking, washing hands, eating, wearing clothes, and many more.

Our school teachers channelise our basic knowledge and help us master the concepts. They direct us to be more focused in life and aim towards a goal of our choice.

To be precise, our teachers teach us to be strong and resilient. They teach us meaningful life lessons by setting inspiring examples.

That's why it is said —
गुरुर्ब्रह्मा ग्रुरुर्विष्णुः गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः । गुरुः साक्षात् परं ब्रह्म तस्मै श्री गुरवे नमः ॥
