Two teachers
I teach God how to starve in me.God teaches me how to serve Him in humanity.
I teach God the art of flattery so that He can direct it toward me.
God teaches me archery to that I can pierce the veil of ignorance.
I teach God unconditionally hundreds of ways of deception.
God teaches me sleeplessly the secrets of Perfection.
God tells me not to think too much. If I do so, He says, I shall unmistakably sink. I tell God that if He ever cares for a cup of inconscience-drink, then I am all ready. He can get it from me for the asking.
