I am having a great deal of thoughts and idea's regarding how a Sensei provides knowledge, experience, and ability to practitioners. It occurs to me that observation, seeing and hearing, the practitioner as they practice becomes a critical trait of a Sensei.
Sensei can have all the requisite stuff to impart their wisdom. They can do so ad-hoc or they can see and hear the practitioner to determine what is understood and what needs clarification. It is also something necessary to perceive the needs of the next iteration of wisdom.
Ever see a face of confusion when you provide training? It may be how you are perceiving the practitioner where you are not getting what it takes to allow them to learn at a maximum capacity.
Another aspect of the goku-i, to see all sides. You as Sensei must achieve the trait and ability to see all sides of your practitioners. See them as they are and as they can be - their potential. This means seeing the teaching potential that resides in each one - individually, uniquely, and completely.
Provide you dojo the light and guide them along the path. To achieve this open the eyes and see everything - obvious and hidden. Do you truly "see" your students?
