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 towards me. God teaches me the art of archery so 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.
