In the age where education is merely a business, the student-teacher relation is more of a financial transaction where students give money in return teacher gives education. The student sees the teacher as if he is teaching because he is paying, and the teacher looks at students as a source of income. In this situation, where and how does the educating process can happen? That is the reason why we see today that students don’t have respect for teachers, and the same is true with teachers, too. So only the divinity and morality in the knowledge transfer process is lost, this is the reason why our present education system is unable to produce students with great character. This is a story from Chandogya Upanishad that inspired Sri Adi Shankaracharya Ji, too.
