The Devil Is Self Love

The devil is my teacher and
the devil has no choice.
Self love betrays itself:
it can’t do anything else.

The devil entraps us,
and at the same time
shows us the way.
The devil has no choice.

Devil activities engage
the enlightened activities.*
Recognition disengages.
And the devil has no choice.

If we do not recognise confusion,
the view is obscured.
If we recognise confusion,
the view is clear.

In the light of recognition,
the devil has no choice
but to leave us in peace.
