A best Teacher

A teacher can never truly teach
unless he is still learning himself.
A lamp can never light another lamp
unless he continues to burn its own flame.
The teacher,who has come to the end of his subject,
who has no living traffic with his knowledge........
but merely repeats his lessons to his students,
can only load their minds.He cannot quicken them.
Truth not only must inform,but also must inspire.
If the inspiration dies
And the information only accumulates,
Then Truth loses its infinity.

Rabindranath Tagore
