"We are executives of our masters’ devilish ideas & without our participation, no devilish action will be accomplished. Ambitions, consciencelessness, foolishness & being deceived are reasons for our obedience. Here, a master is shown being accompanied by snakes (like Zahhak in Shahnameh), legislating some rules which resemble sun’s rays; we play the role of the lens of a magnifying glass which converges the rays on earth & hurts people, so people cry & hypocrites feed from their tears."
