12. - THE TLAMACHTITLANI. THE TEACHER.
Those who were skilled in the art of teaching, that is, forming own faces and true hearts, was the teacher, called temachitiani in nahuatl language. The Toltec teacher concept is:
"Heart firm as stone,
heart resistant as
a tree trunk;
wise face
owner of a face and a
heart,
skilled and compassionate.
Teacher of truth,
Does not stop scolding.
Makes other’s faces wise,
Makes others take a face,
Makes them develop it.
Opens their ears, illuminates them.
Is a teacher of guides,
Gives them their path,
One depends on him.
Places a mirror in front of others,
Makes them careful and wise,
Makes a face appear on them...
Thanks to him, people humanize their wanting,
And receive a strict education.
Makes their hearts strong,
Confronts people,
Help, remedy, attends everyone."
