TEACHING

Then said a teacher, speak to us of Teaching
And he said:
No man can reveal to you aught but that which already
lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.
The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple,
among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.
If he indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom,
but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind......
And even as each one of you stands alone in God's knowledge,
so much each one of you be alone in his knowledge of God
and in his understanding of the earth.
