Kundalini yoga instructors, as taught
by Yogi Bhajan, have many outstanding qualities. Here are just a few:
Facets of a Kundalini Yoga Teacher
Yogi Bhajan, September 1995
A Teacher will never alter the
teachings because of personal opinion. You'll teach by example.
The higher you grow as a teacher,
more humble you have to be.
The Teacher always serves his
students, so that they can be ten times stronger than you, because every
student is a Teacher for tomorrow.
A Teacher has to be extremely kind,
caring, compassionate, and forgiving.
As a Teacher you should always poke,
provoke, confront, and elevate your students to excellence.
As a Teacher you have to
continuously imagine, visualize, believe, expand in all directions,
connect everything, meditate, [and] practice....
As a teacher you will always be in
Chardi Kala (elevated spirits) and connected to your higher self, never
caught in emotional turmoil. Count your blessings, not your curses. Always
be graceful. Glow and grow.
As a teacher, you'll continuously
graduate towards the Divinity and infinity that is the essence of your
existence. You're not a human born for a spiritual search, you are a
spirit, an Atma (soul), born for an experience as a human. Your purity and
piety as an Atma is always maintained, protected, exalted, projected, as a
priority over everything and kept in sight mentally, physically, and
spiritually.
As a Teacher listen to, and obey all
righteous teachings. If you read something, you'll know it; if you write
something, you'll understand it; if you teach something, you'll perfect
it.
It is perfection of your deliverance
that gives you grace as the teacher. Your success as a teacher lies not in
what you know, but in what your student receives.
A teacher is measured by the growth,
dignity, and excellence of the student. If you find a talent, nurture it,
teach it to the best of your ability and divinity.
As a Teacher do not relate to ego or
politics. Always relate to the spirit, soul, and essence of a person.
Always relate to the intelligence, talent, and consciousness of a person.
Always relate to the manners, methods, and mentality of a person. Pure
thoughts are the way to universal knowledge and will make you bountiful,
blissful, and beautiful.
Just as a seed has to wither to
become a tree and bear fruit, Teachers who do not become perfect students
do not become perfect masters.
Universal spirit that rotates earth
can take care of all your problems. As a teacher you have to learn trust
and faith. Regard every breath of life as a gift. Strive for conscious
breathing, breathing one breath a minute.
The motto of a teacher is: "Peace of
mind and peace within the material world."
A Teacher needs to commit to Nam,
the God-given identity. Without Nam, you cannot have the purity of self
and the divine projected grace to master all the elements.
Remember once and for all, happiness
is your birthright and it is always right to be happy. So be happy, be
healthy, be holy. |
