493. His two admirers

He has two staunch admirers:
God and Satan.

God admires his presence of mind
In the inner world.

Satan admires his absence from mind
In the outer world.

God asks him to remember
Everything that God says and does.
This will help God.

Satan asks him to forget
Everything that Satan says and does.
This will help Satan.
