High on Waves

Kahlil Gibran

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 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.

 

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.
