"The moment you think you are someone or believe you have something to teach, your inner world freezes and becomes the realm of illusion.
Thatβs the cost of identifying yourself as the one who knows.
It is a concoction of the mind.
You shrink down into the role of the teacher, limited, separate, and stuck.
The teacher who sees himself as βthe one who wants to be a teacherβ is trying to teach the student what he himself needs to learn.
If I identify myself as a teacher and see myself as any less than the teachers around me, I am reinforcing what I think I know.
The teacher who is always a student and lives with an open mind is free to continue expanding his consciousness.
For a true teacher who is a true student, teacher and student are always equal.
There are no students, only friends.
The whole world can be so wise once we stop teaching. "
~ Byron Katie π€β¨
