Teachers must have a pure heart and virtues like adherence to truth, good conduct, duty, devotion and discipline, so that they can impart the same to the students.

A teacher is like a guidepost. If the guidepost itself is loose, how can it point to the right direction? So, a teacher should have a steady mind. Only then can one guide the students along the right path. The teacher should impart the human values of satya, dharma, shanthi, prema and ahimsa. Many are confused as to what is the foremost value among these five. Love is of paramount importance. Every teacher must teach their students to love and respect their parents, relatives and all fellow-beings. Teachers must have a pure heart and virtues like adherence to truth, good conduct, duty, devotion and discipline, so that they can impart the same to the students. He or she alone, who imparts these virtues to the students, is a teacher in the true sense. The whole world will prosper, when students tread along the right path. Hence it is essential on the part of a teacher, whom the students are bound to emulate, to cultivate virtues.
