In ancient India, teachers and students both prayed together, "May we both be guided and protected. May we progress together and achieve spiritual splendour together, through our studies. May no trace of displeasure or disturbance pollute our relationship." A loving teacher dedicating his life to his profession becomes the role-model for his admiring students. A teacher can make or mar the future of the student, for he is the hero whom pupils desire to emulate and imitate in dress, habit and style of living and thinking. When teachers divide themselves into factions or scandalise each other or revel in the game of politics, students are easily infected by the same harmful tendencies. Discipline becomes rooted in the campus atmosphere only when teachers set the example. "As the leaders, so the led." When teachers form groups to gain power and influence, students too do likewise! So, teachers must hold aloft, both by precept and practice, the ideals of scholarship, companionship, mutual love and spiritual progress.
