Swami! What is the ideal ambience of a classroom?

 

You should follow your ancient traditional culture. A student with vinaya,

humility, and vidheyata , obedience will be able to acquire thorough knowledge.

Students should evince keen interest in the subject they study, and even ask

questions. Whenever they have doubts, they should seek clarifications from their

teachers. Therefore, a student should be seated at a lower level than a teacher

who occupies his seat at a higher level on a chair. Water always flows

downwards, so does knowledge. Fire travels upwards. Similarly, the fire of

wisdom of a student travels upwards.
