AchAryan -Sishyan 2
 
Recap: AChAryan should not consider himself as AchAryan. He should not think that the disciple is his sishyan. The perceptible effects on imparting of knowledge namely, the  perceptible results, sihsyan's upliftment, bhagawath kainkaryam and the permanent company of the sishyan - should not be considered as the ensuing or aimed ends.
 
Now the question comes up. If these are not so, then how come these effects which occur, should be considered/ This is answered in the next Suthram.
 
1.The paNividai or sihsrushai which the sishyan does, actually manifests from the perceiption of the sishyan and not the AchAryan.
 
2.The upliftment of the jEvAthmA occurs by the Grace of the Lord and therefore the AchAryan cannot consider this as an end while imparting knowledge.
 
3.Since, restoring a jEvAthma in the right path is indee a  joy for the Lord, this is indeed bhagawath kainkaryam but this is to be considered so not by the AchAryan but by his swachAryan.
 
4.The permanent company of the sihsyan with the AchAryan is not the direct result but the sihyan out of great gratitude towards the AchAryan -that by causeless mercy the AchAryan has indeed rectified him, makes him automatically to be with his AchAryan ever after.
( this is sUthram 310)
 
Now the next question is raised. If the AchAryan does not so consider the effects of the rectification and also not consider himself as AchAryan - how come he becomes an AchAryan?
 
Well, if the AchAryan educates the disciple with the mindset that educating itself is the end, the effect automatically culminates with the grace of the Lord.
 
Further, though he does not consider himself as an AchAryan, the AchAryathvam manifests wonderfully in the perception of EmperumAn.
 
( ..than ninaivAlum ESwaran ninaivAlum siddhikkum-311)
 
 
If this mental thinking does not set in, then the earlier said, deplorable worst apachAram emerges.
 
Summary: The sishyan's perceptible or tangible changes like kainkaryam to AchAryan emerges from out of sihsyan-s perception. The upliftment or eternal retrieval of the AtmA of the sishyan takes place from out of the immense grace of EmperumAn. The fact that correcting a soul is indeed ajoy for the Lord is indeed a bhagawath kainkaryam but even this thinking is from the angle of swachAryan. The  gratitude converts itself into the sishyan becomeing permenantly bonded with the acharyan.
 
Though the AchAryan does not consider himself as an AchAryan, the fact that he is imparting knowledge without any expectation whatsoever, makes him fit for  the post of 'AchAryan' and this is in fact from the thoughts of the Lord. -Eswaran ninaivAlEa siddhikkum.
