Teacher Student Relationship

The teacher is the mind.
The student is consciousness.

The mind shows us all our negative reactions, and why they come about.
It can also express whatever consciousness realises;
our true qualities of empathetic compassion.

An outer teacher is a reminder of the inner teacher.
In this way, everyone becomes our teacher.

The only authority an outer teacher is the authority we give them.
Authority: from Latin auctoritas, from auctor ‘originator, promoter’.

All that glitters … may just glitter. 🙂
