The document contrasts the roles of a teacher and a guru. It states that a teacher provides knowledge and instruction to students, prepares them for the external world, and answers their questions. A guru, on the other hand, makes students responsible for their own growth, strips away unnecessary things, questions students' answers, destroys conventional ways of thinking, and prepares them for inner journeys of self-discovery and freedom. While a teacher imparts information, a guru helps students understand themselves through compassion and by serving as a role model.
