- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras: Sw Anand Vimal.
- The sutra
- 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 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.
- The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his understanding.
- 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.
- 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.
- For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.
- 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.
