Answers
In olden days, there were no schools as
we find today. Every temple or mosque
was a school. The Priest or the Maulvi
was the only teacher. There were very
few books or no books at all. The Guru
taught by word of mouth.
The boys sat round him in a circle. They
sat on the bare ground. There were
no tables and chairs, the boys listened
to the Guru with rapt attention. They
learnt their lesson by rote. They had to
memorize the scriptures. A student who
could learn by heart the largest number
of scriptures in the shortest possible time
was considered to be the ablest. There
were practically no games and sports.
The students crammed and chanted the
scriptures day and night.There was no fuss in any shape or form.
They resided with their Guru. Boarding
and lodging were free. These temples
and mosques got handsome grants from kings and princes. Sometimes the students had to go to the neighbouring villages and towns to beg for alms.
The householders considered it a duty to
give them alms. The students led a hard,
simple and virtuous life. Plain living and
high' thinking was their motto. The Guru
looked upon them as his own sons. He took the fullest interest in them.
There was a close and intimate contact
between the teacher and the taught. The
students obeyed the Guru implicitly. They were ready to make any sacrifice at his
bidding.There was no discipline, no
misbehaviour, no strikes and no ugly
demonstrations. The students had the
greatest regard for their Guru. His word was law for them. They worshipped him.They were always at his beck and call.
They did everything with their own hands. They led a life of penance. Their life was well regulated. The contact between the teacher and the taught was life-long. It was most sacred. The Guru's status was the highest.
