The Temple Within

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 fellowmen...

Go not to the temple to pray
on bended knees.
First bent 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
