The unraveling of an elephant
by Eruch at Baba’s instruction.
Did the lesson end before the embroidery
was completely ruined
or did He let everyone see
the practical price that must be paid –
what is left when the self comes apart;
illusion exposed, truth unveiled?
Ruin and destruction are crucial,
inherent in those interwoven threads
which make up the trembling figures
on our shimmery, flimsy veils.
O child of God, you fear the Nothingness
which (says Meher) contains the Everything.
