Fooled by God
Some caught a glimpse of Your face
and knew in an instant You are the Avatar.
Even today, from a film or photograph,
some recognize You immediately as the Christ.
I wish I could say it happened that way with me.
How patient, how infinitely patient, You were.
Years of careful attention; pleading Your case,
coaxing and cajoling,
before You got a holy foot in the door.
Meher, You claim to be God in human form!
And I believe You with all my heart.
If it is not true, You have fooled me.
If it is not true, my heart has been fooled by God!
I am willing to suffer the consequences of that.
My fate is in the hands of Meher Baba and God.
O child of God, do honey bees produce bitter gall?
Meher Baba can only speak the truth because He is the truth.
(from The Garden of Surrender, 2004)
