2580. An abiding sincerity
An insincere person thinksThat all sincere people
Are insincere in nature,
But are only donning
The robe of sincerity.
A sincere person thinks
That an insincere person
Is not aware
Of the capacity of his insincerity —
That his insincerity can
At any moment
Transform itself into
An abiding sincerity.
Sri Chinmoy, Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, part 26, Agni Press, 1982
