On Children
...Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
...Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.
Kahlil Gibran
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.
Kahlil Gibran

Las palabras no dicen nada de uno mismo.
Las palabras engañan al Maestro que se cree Sabio.
El Maestro Sabio escucha las palabras de la Nada.
No se puede Sanar cuando no se escuchan las palabras que manan de la Esencia.
El que decide Sanar con sus manos debe aprender a escuchar a la Nada... al Ser.
Porque el Ser tiende a mentir, a autoengañarse con las palabras, e intenta engañar al Sanador.
Para Sanar con esas manos maravillosas que tenemos, antes hay que VER, pero no con los ojos del rostro.. Se ha de mirar con los ojos del Alma, con la Esencia de la Nada.
Si no aprendemos a escuchar a nuestro Yo Superior, al Sabio que llevamos dentro, y a observar al enfermo sin escuchar sus falsas palabras, este se creerá curado por el Sanador, pero su curación será efímera y superficial porque el Maestro no supo leer sus inferiores .
