Who_Is_the_Greatest_Teacher_

WHO IS THE GREATEST TEACHER' Guru Brahma, Guru Vishnu, Guru Devo Maheswara Guru sakshaat prabrahma, Tasmai Sree Gurave Namah// Indian vedic literature has put the place of teacher on par with GOD. We do not know the existence or non-existence of God. But, we have teachers replacing GOD. Let’s dig down. Who is a teacher' The teacher is he or she who teaches. There arises a natural question. What to teach' Yes. It is the crux of the understanding. Teaching may be of different aspects. We have class room teachers. They teach the prescribed syllabus to young minds. We have teachers of different kinds. We have teachers or gurus of yogasanas, personality development, management, advertising, bhajans and vomiting siva lingas. All these are part of life and not life itself. These may or may not be called knowledge. A teacher is a person who gives the true knowledge about society and life. If we restrain ourselves to classroom teaching to define a true teacher, we are definitely on wrong side. To see things clearly we need light. That is knowledge and understanding of the society which we live in. To spread its wings light needs a source. Teacher is that source. This source makes us clearer, our thoughts more analyzing which in turn balances our lives towards TRUTH. This is the essence of a true teacher. After having the conceptual clarity about knowledge and the teacher; let us move on our expedition to search for a true or say, the greatest teacher. We are living in a society that is severely skewed, Tormented with a number of inequalities, discrimination, oppression and suffering. The most striking figure in the history of mankind who left all his royal luxuries in search of the root cause for the suffering of human beings, The Buddha, the light of Asia. He, who tried to understand nature of society and taught that human wants are root cause of human suffering. But the great teacher Buddha could not find out the cause beneath the reality of why only a few people can fulfill their wants and not the major chunk of the society. Later many teachers from Socrates to Leibnitz who are also philosophers have attempted to anchor the TRUTH. In fact, they attempted to interpret the world in their own ways. But the point is, TO CHANGE IT. The person who has attempted it successfully and taught this world the true underlying cause of their suffering and also shown the way to fight it is … KARL MARX. He rightfully understood the laws of social change and more powerfully informed through his writings. His teachings have been influencing the world for better future of oppressed, suppressed and depressed. Hence, Karl Marx is called as “Maha Mahopadhyaya” of New world. The young Marx wrote on his choice of profession, “…. that the person who works only for himself, may perhaps become a famous man of learning …. If we choose the position in life in which we can most of all work for mankind, no burdens can bow us down, because they are sacrifices for the benefit of all …. Then we shall experience no petty, limited, selfish joy, but our happiness will belong to millions, our deeds will live on quietly but perpetually at work, and over our ashes will be shed the hot tears of noble people. Karl has anchored the TRUTH. The root cause of mankind’s suffering is EXPLOITATION. He explained the secret of exploitation through the theories of surplus value. He taught the world to fight against all kinds of exploitation through the concerted fight by the proletariat (labourers including all downtrodden). Interpreted rightly and wrongly, Marx has been proved precise all the times in understanding and teaching the world the laws of political economy of human suffering. Unambiguously, I believe that Karl Marx is the greatest teacher of our times for the whole humankind and posterity as well.
