34. Three points of view
God sees meThrough His beams of Love;
    Therefore, He calls me
His perfection-representative.
    Man sees me
Through his whims of hatred;
    Therefore, he calls me
His arch adversary.
    I see myself
Through my heart’s uncertainty-door;
    Therefore, I call myself
A totally lost soul.
