16. He is afraid of three things

```

He is afraid of three things:

Silence, sound and perfection.

When he is afraid of silence

Earth loves him.

When he is afraid of sound

Heaven loves him.

When he is afraid of perfection

The animal in him loves him

Plus

The human in him loves him;

But

The divine in him pities him

And

The Supreme in him forgives him. ```
