उत्तर
‘If he is indeed wise, he does not bid you to enter the world of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.’
In this famous quote by Khalil Gibran, he has given the most essential quality of a teacher. A teacher who really wants his students to flourish and gain knowledge would never impose his personal views on them and narrow their scope of imagination. A wise teacher in fact strives to broaden the horizon of his students‟ mind. He gives them wings by expanding their thought process and imparts them a wide perspective, zest, curiosity, and passion to explore more and continue learning.
