Therefore, after the disciplines of tapa, mana, dāna, bhajan, and antaḥkaraṇa, and the three types of tapas I explained, these points are very important. Among them are two key points regarding the confidence between teacher and student. For the teacher, there should be no partiality. You must not pay more attention to someone you personally love or like. That is not good. Remember the golden teaching of Mahāprabhujī: samadṛṣṭi—equal vision. This is because the teacher is developing his or her own spirituality and knowledge through the act of teaching. The teacher evolves spiritually and intellectually by teaching. On the day the teacher thinks, "I am now a good teacher," everything will collapse. Therefore, we have a very beautiful mantra for our protection: Nāhaṁ kartā. That is the essence. At that time, you are not teaching; Gurudeva is teaching. He is speaking through us. Nāhaṁ kartā means just that. Then, Gurudeva teaches, not you; He speaks through us. When we remember Nāhaṁ kartā, we do not remember ourselves, but Gurudeva within us. Esa mera Satguru Ander bole—like that, my Gurudeva is speaking within me. Esa mera Ander bole, Satguru bole—like that, Gurudeva speaks through me. To Satguru Dev govoríkoz mere. Then you will see your classes blossoming. Do not think people are accepting the teaching because you are nice, clever, or physically beautiful or not. No, no, no. Such things you can find everywhere. Do not think people love you because you look good, because you are kind, or because you are physically active. You can find this everywhere. People appreciate your clear consciousness. People appreciate your honesty. People appreciate your devotion. People appreciate your knowledge. And that is why they place their confidence in your hands. To know these things is very important for the teacher. As a teacher, knowing these things is very important. --- Recording location: Hungary, Vep, Yogateacher Seminar
