God the Teacher tells me:
\n“Be unconditional!”
\nI tell God: “I am trying.”<\/p>\n

Man the teacher tells me:
\n“Be impartial!”
\nI tell man: “I already am.”<\/p>\n

Dream the teacher tells me:
\n“Be jovial!”
\nI tell Dream: “I am practising.”<\/p>\n

Reality the teacher tells me:
\n“Be practical!”
\nI tell Reality: “Alas, will I,
\nCan I ever be practical?”<\/p>\n
