An insincere seeker demands
That others think of himAs sincerity incarnate.
A sincere seeker pays no attentionTo what others think of him.
Even when others say thatHe is false,
He is treacherous,He will not succeed,
He thinks it is all a joke.He feels that God is playing
His transcendental MusicIn a new way
So that he can make himself readyFor a new game.
