Confine yourself

Confine yourself                                                     

O Meher, You confined Yourself – in the jopdhi,
in the table-cabin, in the bamboo cage,

in sundry mountain caves; in the blue bus,
in a hut atop Tembi Hill;

in the crypt before ... and after
it became Your Tomb.

You confined Yourself –
in Your great Silence; in Your human body.

You confined Yourself, perhaps,
to show how we might be free.
                                                                                       
O pilgrim, retire now to the narrow,
holy cell of remembrance; of contemplation    

and meditation; fetter your mind and tongue
to the unyielding repetition of His name.

Confine yourself to God.
If God is not enough, what is?

O child of God, it’s the life of Illusion 
          that’s restrictive, repetitive and tedious.
The Truth of Meher is boundless.
