Poems on teachers

Your mind has a flood of questions.
There is but one teacher
Who can answer them
Who is that teacher?
Your silence-loving heart.

Your teachers

Let the sky
Become
Your teacher.
You will learn
How to serve.

Let the moon
Become
Your teacher.
You will learn
How to love.

Let the sun
Become
Your teacher.
You will learn
How to become.

– Sri Chinmoy

O teacher of Hope,
I know your name.
Your name is Faith.
O teacher of Faith,
I know your name.
Your name is God’s Grace.
O teacher of God’s Grace,
You have a special name.
Your name is God’s Silence-Reality
Manifested on earth
For humanity’s salvation-light

 – Sri Chinmoy
