...............<br>Then said a teacher, "Speak to

us of Teaching."<br><br>And he said:<br><br>No man

can reveal to you aught but that which already lies

half asleep in the dawning of our

knowledge.<br><br>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.<br><br>If he is

indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of

wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own

mind.<br><br>The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding

of space, but he cannot give you his

understanding.<br><br>The musician may sing to you of the rhythm which is

in all space, but he cannot give you the ear which

arrests the rhythm nor the voice that echoes

it.<br><br>And he who is versed in the science of numbers can

tell of the regions of weight and measure, but he

cannot conduct you thither. <br><br>For the vision of

one man lends not its wings to another

man.<br><br>And even as each one of you stands alone in God's

knowledge, so must each one of you be alone in his knowledge

of God and in his understanding of the

earth.<br><br>BY K.Gibran
