16. My teachers

```

God the Teacher tells me:

“Be unconditional!”

I tell God: “I am trying.”

Man the teacher tells me:

“Be impartial!”

I tell man: “I already am.”

Dream the teacher tells me:

“Be jovial!”

I tell Dream: “I am practising.”

Reality the teacher tells me:

“Be practical!”

I tell Reality: “Alas, will I,

Can I ever be practical?” ```
