Education through example
True education is being the living example, not giving instructions. Parents must embody harmony for their children, as a family's happiness is foundational. The world is temporary, so focus on creating a joyful home inclusive of neighbors. Yoga teachers globally must also connect, sharing wisdom and supporting each other as a community. The teacher, like the parent, must be the example for students. This is embodied in disciplined practice, beginning with punctuality.
"Education does not mean telling them, 'Don't do this, do that.' True education is that you should embody it; you must be the example."
"This means, first and foremost, that every yoga teacher should be punctual at the satsaṅg."
