Student vs Master

23 posts in this topic

So it was the master's trick all along - to get you to believe you were the master, and to come to you as "student", asking for advice, if you are willing to believe that you are in fact the Master, you have unknowingly become a student.

@Anton Rogachevski great insight! Yes, the teacher learns just as much, if not more, than the student. Who teaches who? It's an active, highly connected process of learning. We tend to think of teaching in a rigid, academic sense... Try to erase that image. That's not teaching, that's regurgitation; indoctrination. True teaching is an active, cyclical process of not only learning, but condensing and honing your own knowledge.

Then, by trying to explain the unexplainable, the master realises what a foolish task he took upon himself, how insignificant he is to this process, and that he can't teach anything to anyone, since god took care of everything long ago, it's all good as it is, it's all going in the right direction, that experience brings further humility. It must be so, because that's the persistent nature of the ego.
