the teacher has nothing to teach, and has everything
to be taught; i.e., anytime a teacher looks at a
student of the opposite sex, it is some form of abuse.
You see, teachers are on earth to pull you out of
your concepts and comfort zone to show you a whole
new reality, while you are judging them based on your
concepts of what a teacher should be like or how they
should teach.
Unless you directly study with a teacher on a daily
basis, you are no more than conducting a dialogue with
yourself.
