The Teacher and Disciple

Matthew 28:19-20

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Bhagavad Gita 4:34

“Just learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized souls can impart knowledge unto you because they have seen the truth.”

Dhammapada 76

“Better it is to live a single day seeing the truth than to live a hundred years in darkness and delusion. Therefore seek the counsel of the wise.”

Tao Te Ching ch.27

“A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. A good teacher has forgotten more than he has ever learned. A good listener hears what is not said.”

Pirkei Avot 1:6

“Acquire a teacher for yourself, and get yourself a friend, and judge every person favorably. Whosoever accepts the yoke of the Torah removes from himself the yoke of government and the yoke of worldly troubles.”

Quran 16:43

“And We sent not before you except men to whom We revealed [the message], so ask the people of knowledge if you do not know.”
