This story dates back to the year 1933, when MAHA PERIYAVAA was in Varanasi. PERIYAVAA was received in the palace of the KASSI KING. Many important personalities and learned men (Pundits) were also present.
The Pundits mind there was an element of jealousy. How can he PERIYAVAA have the title of JAGATGURU.(जगत् गुरु).
One of the Pundits thundered, “WHO IS THIS JAGAT GURU” PERIYAVAA politely replied “I am” The Pundit then remarked sarcastically “So you are the JAGAT GURU”
PERIYAVAA replied. जगतां गुरुः न When i say I am JAGATGURU, i DON’T mean to say, I am THE GURU of this JAGAT. जगति पद्यमनाः सर्वे मम गुरवः All living beings in this world ARE MY GURUS.
The Pundits were completely taken aback by this simple yet great explanation. PERIYAVAA did not stop with that.
In that hall where this debate was going on there were some nests built by sparrows. PERIYAVAA pointed to one of them and asked the PUNDITS
किं इदं? WHAT IS THIS?
The Pundit replied: नीडः NEST
PERIYAVAA asked: केन निर्मितं ? BY WHOM WAS THIS BUILT?
The Pundit Replied: चटकैः BY THE SPARROW.
PERIYAVAA continued: This nest is built by birds which do not hands or legs. We have hands and legs. Yet we are unable to build a nest like the sparrow. The sparrow has KRIYA SHAKTI (क्रिया शक्ति) But i do not have that SHAKTI. Hence this sparrow is my GURU!!!

In one of the pravachanam on UDHAVA GITA by HH JAYENDRA SARASWATI SWAMIGAL, JUST 2 OR 3 YEARS BACK, elaborated further on this.

A correction - जगति पद्यमनाः सर्वे मम गुरवः = जगति पद्यमानाः सर्वे मम गुरवः

ஞானம், வினயம் இரண்டிற்கும், ஒரே இருப்பிடம் என்பது மிஹ மிஹ அரிது. மஹாபெரியவா இதற்கு விதிவிலக்கு .இந்த இரு குணங்களும் ஒரே இடத்தில் நூறு வருடங்களாக குடிகொண்டு, எப்படி ப்ரகாசித்தன என்பதற்கு, மஹாபெரியவாளைத் தவிற வேறே ஒருவர் உண்டோ? அதில் ஒரு துகளாவது நம் ஒவ்வொருவருக்கும் கிடைத்தால், உலகம் உய்ய வழி உண்டாகும் ஜய ஜய சங்கர! ஹர ஹர சங்கர!
