Hello folks I am from India and I have this question recently.it is bothering me because I see that many people do not knows the value of education nowadays.but I think the main difference between a guru and a teacher is that a guru donates his knowledge but teacher traders his knowledge for money or other rewards.what are your thoughts?
no thats not the case, actually you mean "hired teacher" or "public school teacher"
gurus can also demand payment, it has nothing to do with the payment.
its cultural and methodical,
no thats the myth everyone doesn't know of. a true guru do not ever take something in return for giving you knowledge. they simply enlightens you because you have the hunger for knowledge and they know it. But a teacher is specially trained to teach others who give payments in return. At this time there is no true guru exists on earth anymore because everyone is basically trading their knowledge for money. Where as knowledge should be free and it can be an opportunity to get the knowledge one truly deserve instead of just being a burden on others for spending their money for making us knowledgeable.
