Karradum suttadum- TEACHER, THE NOBLEST OF ALL THE PROFESSIONS

An interesting article in “Infinithoughts”


Teaching is the profession that teaches all other professions. No wonder they grouped Mother, Father, Guru and God in to one-without these four there is no life. They affect eternity and we can never tell where their influence stops.

This profession has been lauded by many saints, experts and laureates. Some are given below:

Robert Frost

There are two kinds of teachers; the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can’t move, and the kind just gives you a little prod behind and your jump to the skies.
