Given that the ideal Teacher knows all he needs to teaching and the Ideal student is disciplined and obedient, we infer from these facts that there is a dynamic other than equality between these "siblings." Perhaps these "siblings" are not twins. With an age difference comes a different level of respect.

To Clarify,

The ideal student - teacher relationship is like a younger brother or a sister to an older brother or sister.


The older brother or sister has the respect and commands authority over the younger sibling through a message of "I know what you don't know yet." It can be either an attitude of strong encouragement or limiting intimidation. The role of the teacher is then to promote this idea of strength, trust, and wisdom and then encourage the student to take the steps to be more like the teacher (gain wisdom and confidence).
