The teacher, when teaching, must be himself
fully enkindled, so that his utterance, like unto a flame of
fire, may exert influence and consume the veil of self and
passion. He must also be utterly humble and lowly so that
others may be edified, and be totally self-effaced and evanescent
so that he may teach with the melody of the Concourse
on high--otherwise his teaching will have no effect.
