P. A. Chacko SJ
My first teacher was a strict disciplinarian. I don’t regret. He taught me many a wholesome lesson for life.
All along life, I have had many teachers. They have been friends and guides. Above all life’s travelling companions.
They take your hand and fashion your life by touching your heart. They break you, mould you and blow their spirit into you. You get energised. You breathe energy. You breathe compassion. You breathe love and companionship.
Teachers energise the world by energising their students.
Today we think of them with greater respect and reverence. We are grateful to them for their contribution to our lives.
May all teachers be happy! May those who have departed from this life enjoy the bliss of the Eternal Family.
