Then said a teacher,
Speak to us of Teaching.
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 is indeed wise
he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom,
but rather leads you
to the threshold of your own mind.
