You have to understand Little Hawk. He sits cross-legged (lotus position, actually) in his monk's robes up there on top of a mountain in the Himalayas. The air gets pretty thin up there and he suffers from anoxia a lot.

The fundamental assumption is that all us Muggles are stupid, incapable of thought, and generally brainwashed, so he has to step in from time to time to set us all straight. It's a mantra that starts out "Tsk tsk tsk. . . ."   And then goes on from there. It allows him to feel a bit smug and superior, but he vociferously denies this, of course. Sort of "humbler than thou."

You know, kind of a holdover from the Sixties. Alan Watts, Lao Tse, Swami Probablyabanana, that sort of thing.
