What form of worship did he teach? He taught the same worship with which he began his poetry and with which he finished it. He said to his pupils, "Stand before the sea, look at the vastness of it, bow before it, before its source and goal." He said to them, "Look at the sun, and see what joy it brings. What is at the back of it? Where does it come from? Think of its source and goal, and how you are heading towards it." People then thought that it was sun-worship, but it was not; it was the worship of light which is the source and goal of all. That communication within and without sometimes extended the range of a poet's vision so much that it was beyond the comprehension of the average man.
