Nature of Lord - Nature of Teacher

Lord Jesus (Datta) is essentially a teacher. His very nature is the nature of a teacher. If you study the nature of teacher, you have understood the very nature of Datta. The aim of mother, father and teacher is only the welfare of the child. But, mother and father may become lenient due to their blind intensive love on the child. But, the love of a teacher (Guru) is never blind and is always aimed at the welfare of student. The love of father and mother may sometimes spoil the welfare of the child. Therefore, Datta treats all the living beings in the creation as His students and not as His issues. Therefore, the teacher is more than father and mother.

The Lord created fruits for both good and bad actions. Why should He create a fruit for an action? Let there be acts without fruits. The child does mischief, but the mother or father does not punish. In that case, there is no fruit for that action. Similarly, let the Lord not punish our sins. If you expect like this, the answer is that the Lord does not behave like father or mother but behaves only as a teacher. The child gets spoiled if the mischief is tolerated. We are seeing this in the world. The teacher will never tolerate the spoiling of the child and therefore, He will not tolerate the mischief.

God uses the fruits of your sins as punishments and the only aim is your welfare. This is the reason why Datta is always called as Guru Datta. Therefore, guru or teacher is greatest. The results of bad deeds are used as punishments to transform and uplift the student. Therefore, the result of a bad deed is very very useful for the transformation of the soul. The results of your good deeds are given to you just as a relaxation between two punishments. When He punishes systematically, He is called as Yama. In the interval when you receive happiness, He is Indra. Sometimes He gives severe punishments with roaring sound. He is called as Kala Bhairava at that time. The hell is the special equipment for punishment. The aim of the punishment is only the real welfare.

Dou you think when Jesus came to earth...he intended for there to be many denominations, many divisions of religion? I sit and think about the churches I have visited and can't chose a denomination or a church above all others.

I believe in Jesus but, for the life of me I cannot claim to be a christian. I hear many claim to be a christian but, do not follow the 10 commandments, especially the 2nd commandment. Drivers ride your tail or cut you off...and most of these people are christians. Another passage is Mathew 25:40.

Most christians tend to be Sunday morning christians or christians who pray to GOD during meal time or when they want GOD to perform for them. How often do they communicate with GOD just to communicate ?

Most Christians? Do you personally know most Christians? Perhaps you would do well to avoid such generalities.

No, Jesus is not essentially a teacher, He is essentially God.
