633. What he knows

His physical world
Knows one thing:
How to sleep.

His vital world
Knows two things:
How to boast,
How to sigh.

His mental world
Knows three things:
How to doubt,
How to criticise,
How to fear.

His psychic world
Knows four things:
How to free divinely,
How to give unreservedly,
How to love unconditionally,
How to fulfil eternally.
