If You Were God

If you were God,
would you want humans to believe only in you,
without knowing that you represent their pure heart,
which is able to recognise deceit?

If you were the Devil,
would you want humans to believe only in God,
without knowing that you represent deceit?

When humans recognise both goodness and deceit
then, as God,
my job is done and they no longer need me.

When humans do not recognise either goodness or deceit
then, as the Devil,
my job is done and humans still need God.

A pure heart is non-duality.
An impure heart is duality.
