436. He needed only three persons

He needed
Only three persons
    In this vast world:
A constant praiser,
A grateful learner,
An unconditional lover.
Alas, he found not even one.
    Since
All mortals with no exception failed him,
He appointed God.

God touched his feet
And emphatically praised his ignorance.

God touched his feet
And unmistakably learnt from him
How to drink ignorance.

God touched his feet
And unconditionally became
His eternal Lover.
