Two teachers

I teach God how to starve in me.

God teaches me how to serve Him in humanity.

I teach God the art of flattery so that He can direct it toward me.

God teaches me archery to that I can pierce the veil of ignorance.

I teach God unconditionally hundreds of ways of deception.

God teaches me sleeplessly the secrets of Perfection.

God tells me not to think too much.

If I do so, He says, I shall unmistakably sink.

I tell God that if He ever cares for a cup of inconscience-drink, then I am all ready.

He can get it from me for the asking.
