What is the responsibility of a teacher towards their students?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"A true teacher does not bear the weight of responsibility; their presence is a celebration of love and communion that nourishes both the teacher and the seeker."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, a true teacher does not carry students as a responsibility; being with them is bliss. He remains available and close, even rejecting compromises that would separate him from his people. He protects the space of love and communion beyond borders, meeting seekers wherever they are, because this shared presence nourishes both the teacher and the disciples.
A real teacher doesn’t “have to” care for students—he loves being with them and stays reachable, no matter what.
Why this matters practically
- Serve from love, not duty; it prevents burnout and deepens trust.
- Prioritize presence and availability over institutions and image.
- Refuse compromises that break connection with those you guide.
