As the schools reopen after a break, I started wondering, the need for a school. We have so many schools around our city. We have teachers and students too. While teachers keeps on performing their duty of imparting knowledge, they may or may not change the schools, while the students may left the school and excel in different fields. This is a continous cycle which is unique and amazing.
It can also be seen as imparting knowledge is continous process. By educating the students, the teachers contribute to the advancement of knowledge and the development of a more informed society. The process of teaching others requires clear and concise communication, which can refine your own ability to articulate complex ideas. Explaining concepts to others forces the teachers to solidify their own understanding, identify gaps in their knowledge, and deepen their expertise. In short it can be said that, the more share , the more care. This aspect has been beautifully outlined in following Sanskrit lines :
अनव्यये व्ययं याति व्ययं याति सुविस्तृतिं|
अपूर्वस्तव कोशोSयं विद्याकोशेषु भारति||
Anavyaye vyayam yaati vyayam yaati suvistrutim.
Apoorvastava koshoyam kidyaakisheshu bhaarati.
Anavyaya = by not spending.
Vyayam = spending, dissipation, loss.
Yaati = becomes.
Suvistriti = gets widespread and further developed.
Apoorvastava = apoorvah + tava.
Apoorvah = unique, novel.
Tava = yours.
Koshoyam = kosho +ayam .
Kosho = treasure.
Ayam = this one.
Vidyaakosheshu = treasure houses of Knowledge.
Bhaarati = Knowledge and learning personified as Goddess Sarasvati.
"O Goddess Sarasvati! your treasure house of knowledge is unique in all respects. If not spent (knowledge not imparted to others) it tends to get lost,but the more it is spent (knowledge imparted to others) it tends to become widespread and further developed."
Imparting knowledge to others is considered to be the best form of charity in Hindu Religion and literature. In doing so not only the receiver becomes enriched throughout his lifetime, the giver also gets enriched by doing so, as the level of his knowledge also increases and knowledge spreads and develops further. It creates a positive cycle of growth and development for all involved. This is why sharing knowledge is alwsys considered to be fruitful. Be it in school life or any organisatio, or in any other fields.
