The Real Word
When the word of My love (said Meher)
speaks in your heart, you will know
it is the Real Word you have been
forever longing to hear.
I can’t remember such a Word, such a Reality,
such a distant Love ever having been
whispered into my heart; yet I must have
heard it somewhere before –
to have ever since longed for it;
certain to know it when I hear it once more.
Perhaps, not the import of it but the intimacy –
faintly, the intimacy – in numberless ages past,
to which yet I cling, longing for the return
of its liberating, whispered, love-drenched eloquence.
O child of God, your innate loneliness
is the evidence of your original attachment to God.
