A humble piece

By Kalamari

How is it that a teacher who aspires to be
An example to all, can crumble and fall,
Amidst anger and arrogance?

It is simple. For he/she is still human.

How is it that a teacher who inspires
Find that he or she cannot find it in others?

It is simple. For he/she is only human.
And arrogance clouds the mind from learning.

How is it that a teacher who dutifully cultivates
The essence of spirituality and meditates
Can find no peace in his/her heart
To learn from those below him/her?

It is simple. For he/she is just human.
And knowledge comes from humility.
