मेरे लिए शिक्षक दिवस के मायने 

जो गुरु शिष्य को देत एक भी आखयर बताय

धरती पर सो द्रव्य नहीं देकर ऋण चुकाय।

कल का पूरा दिन अपने श्रद्धेय गुरुजन को कृतज्ञ-भाव से याद करते हुआ बीता। फेसबुक से लगभग दूर रहा। जिन-जिन से संपर्क हो पाया, उन्हें पुलकित मन से बधाई-संदेश भेजा। इस दिन बचपन से ही मेरे अंदर असीम ऊर्जा का संचार होते रहा है। दिन भर ख़ुशी-ख़ुशी अपने सम्मान्य अध्यापक-अध्यापिकाओं से मिलना, उनसे आशीर्वाद लेना- मुझे उमंग से भर देताहै।

"Between the Gurus and the Lord,
Whose feet shall I touch first ?
But, of course the Gurus’
For having shown me the way to the Lord."

सचमुच, जो व्यक्ति अपनी आत्मा से दूसरे व्यक्ति की आत्मा में शक्ति का संचार कराता है, वो गुरु और जिसमें यह शक्ति संचारित होती है, वो शिष्य। स्तुत्य शिक्षक डॉ. राधाकृष्णन का एक वाक्य मैं कभी नहीं भूलता हूँ-

"A University is essentially a community of students and teachers. The two have to work together for the one single purpose of advancing knowledge and disseminating it. If they are at any time distracted from this straight path of pursuing truth for its own sake and get led away, there will be a jeopardy to the community of the university."

(In 1955 in the Convocation at AMU)

जीवन के हर क़दम पर जहाँ भी जिनसे कुछ सीखा, उन सबके प्रति श्रद्धावनत हूँ। अपने प्राथमिक गुरु माँ-पिता जी, जिन्होंने इस वसुंधरा पर आने व इस सुंदर-सुरम्य प्रकृति की गोद में दुनिया-जहान के अनुभव से सीखने का सुनहरा अवसर दिया एवं मुझे तलाशने-तराशने-निखारने वाले गुरुजन, जिन्होंने मुझे मौजूदा शक्ल में ढाला है; को ख़ुशी के पल भले न दे पाऊँ, पर मेरी वजह से उन्हें कोई शिकन न हो, इसी कोशिश में लगा हुआ हूँ।

"I'm indebted to my parents for living and to my teacher for living well."

गाँधी जी कितना सही कहते थे -

"A student acquires quarter of his knowledge from his own intelligence, second quarter from his teachers, third quarter from his co-students and the fourth quarter, in course of time, by his experience."
