A great teacher doesn’t need to explain what they know. They teach by their presence-by simply being. Likewise, a great student doesn’t depend on a teacher’s words to learn. Instead, they observe in silence and recognize the lessons hidden in everything. Take an apple, for example. To an ordinary student, it might be just fruit. But to a great student, the apple is a profound teacher. It shows patience in how it ripens, simplicity in the joy it offers, and abundance in the seeds it carries. Inside this single apple are the seeds to produce the next apple trees and potentially thousands more apples just like it. It’s a reminder that growth and possibility are always present, even in something seemingly small. The apple also reminds us of the deep interconnection we share with nature. It serves humans by providing nourishment, animals by feeding and sustaining them, and even insects through pollination. This cycle of giving and receiving reflects the interconnectedness of all life. The apple teaches us how each part of creation serves and supports the greater whole, offering abundance not just for itself but for all. In short, a great teacher doesn’t have to teach, and a great student doesn’t have to be taught. The difference lies in awareness. A great student recognizes that every moment, every person, and every object is a potential teacher. Their awareness turns the world into a classroom. Thus, the saying goes, “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. When the student is truly ready, the teacher will disappear.” This happens not because of the teacher, but because of the student’s own awareness of the lessons they recognize for themselves. Ultimately, a great student becomes their own teacher. They no longer need external guidance because their heightened awareness allows them to learn from life itself.

You are always teaching the right people in the right moment. You are always learning from the right teacher at the right time. Life is always teaching and learning simultaneously at the perfect time. - Feelasoulphy If you are a parent, a teacher, a pet owner, or a caregiver, and especially if you are a parent or teacher of a disabled children I applaud your efforts to provide these pure loving souls with a better life in this physical world. However, don’t ever forget that they are the true teachers of life to you as well. Some of them are very special souls dedicated their entire lives to teach you how to love, care, and be responsible to others. They chose you for a very good reason. - FeelaSoulphy Pain is just another way to increase our awareness of our problems. It’s not the most pleasant way but it can be a very effective way. We are programmed to avoid pain at all cost because we know how it makes us feel. It reminds us not to make the same mistake again in the future. It’s our training wheel before we reach full awareness on our own. Pain also helps us pin point exactly where the problem is for us so we can go straight to the source. It’s a great motivator for change. There’s no better teacher than our own pain if we actually listen to its teaching. - FeelaSoulphy |
