840. Anybody

Anybody can deceive you,
But
Deception is usually
The profession of a rogue.

Anybody can criticize you,
But
Criticism is usually
The profession of a fool.

Anybody can love you,
But
Love is usually
The profession of a seeker.

But nobody can perfect you,
Save and except God.
Sri Chinmoy, The Dance of Life, part 17, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
