Yoga–Sāṃkhya Synthesis, Chariot Allegory, and the Vyakta–Avyakta Distinction
शिष्यानप्रहितास्तेषामकुर्वन् गुरव: स्वयम् । गुरुलोग प्रतिदिन प्रातः:काल जाकर शिष्योंसे पूछते हैं कि आपकी रात सुखसे बीती है न? इसके सिवा वे उन शिष्योंके वस्त्र आदि ठीकसे पहनाते और उनकी वेश-भूषा सँवारते हैं तथा उनकी ओरसे कोई प्रेरणा न होनेपर भी स्वयं ही उनके संदेशवाहक दूत आदिका कार्य करते हैं
śiṣyān aprahitās teṣām akurvan guravaḥ svayam | guru-lokaḥ pratidina prātaḥ-kāle gatvā śiṣyebhyaḥ pṛcchanti—kaccid rātriḥ sukhenātītā na iti | etad-atikramya te śiṣyāṇāṃ vastrādīni samyak paridhāpayanti, veśa-bhūṣāṃ ca saṃskurvanti, tathā teṣāṃ vināpi prerayā svayam eva sandesha-vāhaka-dūta-ādi-kāryaṃ kurvanti ||
释迦罗说道：“即便弟子未曾开口，师长们也会亲自承担弟子的所需。每日清晨，诸师前往学徒处问道：‘昨夜可安适否？’不止如此，他们还为弟子整饬衣服与诸般必需，修饰仪容；并且无需催请，竟也代其担任传信与使者之职。由此可见，师者之责在于积极而慈悲的护持，而非仅止于授业。”

Educational Q&A
A teacher’s dharma is not limited to imparting knowledge; it includes proactive care—checking a student’s well-being, ensuring proper conduct and readiness, and even taking up practical responsibilities for the student when needed.
Śakra describes an idealized model of the guru-community: they visit students each morning, inquire about their comfort, help arrange their clothing and appearance, and act as messengers or envoys on the students’ behalf without waiting to be asked.
