To be a good mother and a teacher,

You must be a good student.

Mere teaching without following is not impressive.

To be a teacher you have to be a degree holder.

You cannot be merely handing out degrees.

A student is a mould of his mother and teacher.

To read and marvel at My teachings

is not what I want.

I look for sincere effort

To put these teachings into practice.

So to be a good teacher,

You must be a good student for life.

This is a constant struggle,

But at least let Me see you trying to struggle,

Get off your wheel chair and try to walk a few steps,

And I will carry you the rest of the way.
