Rabindra Nath Tagore

Go not to the temple to put flowers 
upon the feet of God,
First fill your own house 
with the Fragnance of love....
Go not to the temple to light candles 
before the alter 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 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.
