eternal rogue. A rogue is the saint of the future. Roguery is a negative virtue. It is not a separate
entity. Honesty will have no existence in the absence of roguery. The raison d’etre of roguery is
to glorify honesty. Roguery and honesty are the obverse and the reverse of the same coin. They
are mental creations only. Even a rogue has some virtues. There is neither absolute roguery nor
absolute honesty. God Himself plays the part of a rogue in the world’s drama for His Lila. There
is neither John nor Peter.
