The world Needs Gurus, Not Horses

From times immemorial, a teacher has a special place in the lives and hearts of knowledge-seekers. Revered for being a noble profession which can transform the lives of students, ancient Hindu Vedic scriptures and global literature put the teacher on a pedestal as a godly person.

A teacher called as a Guru always played an important role in helping his ardent students change for the better. Influencing the thoughts and actions of his students, a teacher through his creative thinking can be tagged as a lasting contributor to the progress of mankind. It goes without saying that students in whose hands the future of a society lies, constantly demands guidance of a knowledgeable and wise person. And this person is none other than your teacher who will help you tread the path of righteousness by applying knowledge. Students seek human teachers, not equestrian.

From Gurukul, the ancient Indian teaching tradition which demanded the stay of a student in the hermitage of his Guru for many years, to modern universities which throw light on various subjects, the importance of a teacher is in perpetual demonstration. Sayings which have withstood the intense abrasions of time are not found coming forth from the mouths of horses, but from the mouths of men with big beards. 

I just finished reading this book. (I will not mention the name.)  It is a bad book. Don't read it.

After intense equestrian therapy, victims begin 

to develop similar physical traits to their 

master, the common horse.

I took this image from the pages of the above book and replaced only one word in the caption. I substituted the word "victims" where the caption originally read "students." This image was presented in a positive, not negative light.
