To point. For the right teacher and student even a gesture is not needed.

..."What is a good man?
A teacher of a bad man.
What is a bad man?
A good man's charge.
If the teacher is not respected,
And the student not cared for,
Confusion will arise, however clever one is.
This is the crux of mystery." -Tao Te Ching chapter 27

The role of the teacher is to provide something to aspire to but also to aspire to exceed.

A good Teacher teaches not only WHAT to learn...but HOW to learn.
