Limitations of the yogateacher's knowledge
A spiritual discourse on the source of difficulty in teaching and self-awareness.
"The key problem is in the teachers, not in the students."
"To teach is something most joyful and beautiful, because then you know the capacity of your knowledge; because then you will know the limits of your knowledge."
The speaker identifies the core obstacle in spiritual or educational transmission as residing within the teachers themselves, not the students, emphasizing that this is a universal issue. He explains that true improvement begins when a teacher realizes that in teaching others, one is ultimately teaching and revealing the limits of one's own self and knowledge.
