You are the constant One
around which I circle in a labyrinth of lies,
one infidelity after another;
fruitless tangents off the narrow Way.
My mind neglects You, Lord, but my heart
is continuously calling Your name.
My mind forgets the heart that sustains it.
Constant One, O Heart eternal!
Become constant in my thoughts!
Get it through my thick skull: the memory of You,
of myself; until we become, at last, the One
who we
already are!
O child of God, make Him your Companion,
ever handy, the Constant One, Meher Baba.
(from The Garden of Surrender, 2004)
