How should the kindness of the teacher toward student be properly understood?

This kindness of the teacher, the love, affection of the teacher, we have to understand very deeply, because there are many ways of looking at that. Sometimes, we look at this affection or love of teacher just like worldly love or affection. Then we can feel that lama is more loving this person, more affectionate to this person because he is teaching him more, and not teaching me, and doing this to that person, and not too much to me. This kind of problem can arise.

Therefore it is important to understand what the love, affection, and kindness of the teacher really is.
