Go not to the temple to put flowers upon the feet of God,

first fill your own house with the fragrance of love.

Go not to the temple to light candles before the altar of God,

first remove the darkness of sin from your heart.

Go not to the temple to bow down your head in prayer,

first learn to bow in humility before your fellow men.

Go not to the temple to pray on bended knees,

first bend down to lift someone who is down trodden.

Go not to the temple to ask for forgiveness for your sins,

first forgive from your heart those who have sinned against you.

Rabindranath Tagore

A teacher can never truly teach unless he is still learning himself.

A lamp can never light another lamp unless it continues to burn its own flame.

The teacher who has come to the end of his subject,

who has no living traffic with his knowledge

but merely repeats his lesson to his students,

can only load their minds,

he cannot quicken them.

Rabindranath Tagore

I slept and dreamt that life was joy.

I awoke and saw that life was service.

I acted and behold,

service was joy.

~~Rabindranath Tagore
