The backstory of the Title is as follows;

A Teacher is the key to learn something thoroughly. Since ancient times "Gurus" have been given the spotlight and even seen as divine. Saints like, Aurobindo, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Sri Raghavendra Yathigal, Sri Chandrashekharendra Saraswati and Paramahamsa Yogananda are seen as Sathgurus or Jagadgurus even today and their teachings are still seen as pathways to realisation. Sometimes on rare occasions, God himself takes the form of a Guru. Sri Krishna became a Guru for Arjuna, Lord Shiva took the form of Dakshina Murthy and taught in silence, Sage Brihaspathi became the Guru to the Gods and Vishnu incarnated as Vyasa. One such rare occasions occurred on The 20th Of October, 1940 - A boy of 14, Sat on a rock and lead the Bhajan "Manasa Bhajare Guru Charanam, Dusthara Bhava Sagara Taranam" - Worship the lotus feet of the Guru oh mind! and get out of the ocean of the cycle of birth and death! It was Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba! The Lord almighty who: out of his immense mercy took a Human Form! Many may question; What did Sri Sathya Sai Baba teach about? the Simplest, answer to that is A song that he sang during the first Christmas celebrations at preshanti.LaA song that we sang during the first Christmas celebrations. At Prashanti Nilayam, Puttaparthi, his main ashram in the Anantapuramu District of Andhra Pradesh. He Sang,

"Love is my Form
Truth is my Breadth
Bliss is my Food

My life is my message
Expansion is my life

No reason for Love
No season for Love
No birth, No Death!"

His Life was his message! everything he did was indeed a lesson for the Humanity!
