Acharya Prashant explains that the teacher acts as a bridge between the time-bound world and the timeless dimension. While the truth is immortal, the teacher exists within a mortal body and possesses limited time and mental space. The proper use of life in this dualistic world is to move beyond duality, and the teacher spends his time ushering others into the timeless. Therefore, the teacher's time is sacred and precious because it is used to terminate time for humanity. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that being attached to the teacher is a disservice to oneself and mankind. Attachment leads to the consumption of the teacher's limited resources, effectively blocking the bridge for others. He uses the analogy of a narrow path leading to an infinite lake; blocking the path prevents others from drinking and also stops the one blocking it from benefiting. One minute of a teacher's time is worth centuries because he provides insights that would otherwise take lifetimes to acquire. Consequently, one must not encroach upon the teacher's personal life or time due to fear or attachment.
