AchAryan- Sishayn -Concluded

[Guest guest]

AchAryan Sishyan

 

 

Conflict of interest: In the auditing profession the auditor should

now owe more than Rs 1000 to the auditee. The reason is

that, this will result in lack of independance, vested interest and conflict of interest.

 

This was drafted in the Indain Comanies Act several years back.

 

However, this concept has been devised by Sri PiLLai LOkAchAryA several hundred years back.

 

The AchAryan should not take anything from Sishyan -which the sihsyan thinks that it is his.

 

Normally, the Sishyan dedicates all the wealth in his possession at

the feet of his AchAryan. -Refer to NanjEyar's history who deidcated

his wealth to bhaTTar. Notwithsatanding this, if still if he keeps

something as his, the AchAryan should not take that.

 

Apart from the vested/conflict of interest mentioned hereinabove,

there is another major srEvaishNavic factor that is explained by

Periya jEyar.

 

The AchAryan who has undaunting faith on the Lord Almighty, also has

immense belief that the God out of mercy, bequeaths all the wealth

and fulfills all the needs to sustain his life in the world Thus

the feeling that he is complete in all respects springs from this

faith and belief. If the AchAryan takes something from Sishyan -whcih

the Sishyan thinks that is his - then the faith in the Lord that He

will lead the life of AchAryan complete in all respects falls like

pack of cards.

 

That is why, it has been stressed that the AchAryan should not take

anything from the Sishayn which he thinks that it is his.

 

Conclusion: The manner in which an AchAryan should conduct himself has

been discussed briefly based on the chUrnaikAs from SrEvachana

bhUshaNam.

 

IN a nutshell, the AchAryan should always consider himself as an

extending arm of his AchAryan while imparting knowledge to the

sishyan. The Grace on the sishyan befalls with the help of the

Almighty. However, the hithOpadhEsam is the prme aim of the AchAryan.

AchArayn is one who preaches the Thirumandhiram with the sole purpose

of removing the immersion into samsAram.

The AchAryan shoud sustain himself with his wealth - all the wealth of

sishyan is dedicated to him ones it is surrendered - However, he

should not take anything which the sishyan has attachment towards.

 

I thank Smt Jayshree Saranathan and Sri Sadagopan swamy for having

given me this opportunity to write on this subject.
