O Fool, try to carry thyself upon thy own shoulders! <br />O beggar, to come beg at thy own door! <br /> <br />Leave all thy burdens on his hands who can bear all, <br />and never look behind in regret. <br /> <br />Thy desire at once puts out the light from the lamp it touches with its breath. <br />It is unholy---take not thy gifts through its unclean hands. <br />Accept only what is offered by sacred love.<br /><br />Rabindranath Tagore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-fool/
