A message for the lenten season

"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 lamps 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 humbly before your fellowmen.

Go not to the temple to pray on bended knees,

First bend down to lift someone who is down.

Go not to the temple to ask for forgiveness

            for your sins

First forgive from your heart those who

            have sinned against you!"

                                                              

                                                        - R. Tagore

 

A blessed  Lenten season to all.
