"Ah ! Then, I feel I have not lived in vain" - Explain (To the Pupils of Hindu College)

"Ah ! Then, I feel I have not lived in vain" - Explain (To the Pupils of Hindu College)





With this quoted line, Derozio's Sonnet To the Pupils of Hindu College comes to end . Though this line Derozio points out the self esteem of a teacher.


In this Sonnet, great teacher, Derozio portraits the picture of an overall development of his students. Their minds are like the petals of young flowers, slowly but steadily like the young birds of Summer, the students develop mentally and physically. In this way of life, many new preparations  shed their influence upon the students. They worship the omnipotence of truth . Derozio becomes very happy when he finds that the goddess of fame embraces his students when his students will be successful, he will consider that his life was not a vain one.


The success of a teacher depends on the success of his students. There is a Sanskrit sloka ,"Ajnana Timir Andhasya Jnana Anjana Shalaakaaya Chakshu Runmilitam Yena Tasmai Shri Gurave Namaha" --if we translate it into English, it simply means "by applying the light of knowledge, a teacher drives away the darkness of ignorance". So when the students become famous in the future, the teacher's heart laps up in joy and happiness . He realises that he has taught the students and the students have gained name and fame, so his life is not a  futile one.
