“To do is hard, but to teach is still harder. Do not teach only to teach. Teach to improve the pupil.
To be a teacher requires tremendous, vigorous discipline on one’s self.
We are teachers because somebody demands it from us.
But the teacher should first rub his own self, and teach afterwards.” – BKS Iyengar
