The Living Teacher.
The true teachings of life always come from a living teacher. While books, artefacts and all different forms of articles, these are merely manifested traces of information and knowledge. Every sign and form of action, gesture, movement, guide, word, note and even the most subtle expression of a living teacher, is a key to the keys of knowledge, wisdom and duty. One must ponder deeply, in harmony, to understand the forms and functions of these keys, before they're able to unlock to reach other keys, in order to face the faces of knowledge. Thence, the two entities finally met. One is a human, and one is knowledge. Either one will embrace the other, or the two will embrace each other.
The faintest and subtlest expression of a living teacher is a living force which possesses its own predetermined destinations. It is an energy that is dependent on its destination to enable germination, establishing the roots and fruits of life. Even the traces left by the energy are seeds to the finest lines in a cosmic map of knowledge. It multiplies the way a person wish and act upon it. And it remains as it is when expiry reaches upon that person. However, the life-strings of knowledge will never decay, thus will flourish further when a person has spread its seeds to the others.
Live teachings live with the forces of time. Sometimes the past is used to unlock the future. Or sometimes the future is used to unlock the past. While the world is made up of articles of intelligences throughout the time, knowledge evolves and change faces. But the essences don't. Is there a difference between "live teachings” and "dead teachings”? Or "live knowledge" and "dead knowledge"? Surely, to be able to read a book, one has to learn from someone.
