[HM:254790] Teacher and Guru

"Teacher and Guru" sent by Mr.PL.Sankaran ( My Elder Brother)

I know that a Teacher is different from a Guru, but never knew that they are different in so many ways.
I know "All Gurus are Teachers; But all teachers are not Gurus".
If you get not only a Guru but also a "Satguru", you are the most blessed one.

Teacher	Guru
A teacher takes responsibility of your growth	A Guru makes you responsible for your growth.
A teacher gives you things you do not have and require	A Guru takes away things you have and do not require.
A teacher answers your questions	A Guru questions your answer
A teacher helps you get out of the maze	A Guru destroys your maze
A teacher requires obedience and discipline from the pupil	A Guru requires trust and humility from the pupil
A teacher clothes you and prepares you for the outer journey	A Guru strips you naked and prepares you for the inner journey
A teacher is a guide on the path	A Guru is the pointer to the way
A teacher sends you on the road to success	A Guru sends you on the road to freedom
When the course is over you are thankful to the teacher	When the discourse is over you are grateful to the Guru
A teacher explains the world and its nature to you	A Guru explains yourself and your nature to you
A teacher makes you understand how to move about in the world	A Guru shows you where you stand in relation to the world
A teacher gives you knowledge and boosts your ego	A Guru takes away your knowledge and punctures your ego
A teacher instructs you	A Guru constructs you
A teacher sharpens your mind	A Guru opens your mind
A teacher shows you the way to prosperity	A Guru shows the way to serenity
A teacher reaches your mind	A Guru touches your soul
A teacher gives you knowledge	A Guru makes you wise
A teacher gives you maturity	A Guru returns you to innocence
A teacher instructs you on how to solve problems	A Guru shows you how to resolve issues
A teacher is a systematic thinker	A Guru is a lateral thinker
A teacher will punish you with a stick	A guru will punish you with compassion
A teacher is a pupil what a father is to son	A Guru is to pupil what mother is to her child
One can always find a teacher	But Guru has to find and accept you
A teacher leads you by the hand	A Guru leads you by example
When a teacher finishes with you, you graduate	When a Guru finishes with you, you celebrate
