Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.

You see but your shadow when you turn your back to the sun.

Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.

And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Cover me with soft earth, and let each handful be mixed With seeds ofjasmine, lilies, and myrtle; and when they Grow above me and thrive on my body's element they will Breathe the fragrance of my heart into space.

For truth and the spirit will abide with the morrow.

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.
