Anyone and everyone cannot be an Acharya (teacher of mankind); but many may become Mukta (liberated).
The whole world seems like a dream to the liberated, but the Acharya has to take up his stand between the two states.
He must have the knowledge that the world is true, or else why should he teach? Again, if he has not realized the world as a dream, then he is no better than an ordinary man, and what could he teach?
