Teacher, father and Shaikh, these three are positions of compassion. Today we are fond of being fathers but we do not know how to be fathers (to be compassionate). We are fond of being teachers but we do not know how to be teachers (to be compassionate). We are fond of being Shaikhs but we do not know how to be Shaikhs (to be compassionate).
