The truly wise teacher offers you not his own knowledge, but instead leading you to your own treasure inside your own head. -Khalil Gibran

A poem from ShantiMayis book: In our hearts we know.
You seek was is already yours You travel home For ever home East and west Nort and South Zenit and Nadir Unimaginably Immeasurable In the simplicity of the everyday Come home
In the beginning of all things, wisdom and knowledge were with the animals, for Tirawa, the One Above, did not speak directly to man. He sent certain animals to tell men that he showed himself through the beast, and that from them, and from the stars and the sun and moon should man learn.. all things tell of Tirawa.
All things in the world are two. In our minds we are two, good and evil. With our eyes we see two things, things that are fair and things that are ugly.... We have the right hand that strikes and makes for evil, and we have the left hand full of kindness, near the heart. One foot may lead us to an evil way, the other foot may lead us to a good. So are all things two, all two.
