The mercy of His court

The mercy of His court                                                                    
 
If you’re sure of anything in this world,
o child, be sure you are mistaken.
 
When you feel yourself hardening
into one position, take the necessary steps
 
to remove yourself from that easy overlook.
Talk yourself down from the heights
 
to the dust-view of God –
God being not up in heaven
 
but in the field doing His spade-and-hoe work,
seeing everything in His omnipresence
 
at every moment from everywhere.  
To draw nearer to that Truth, o child, and to Him,
 
concede in every judgment,
your ignorance and incapacity;
 
throw yourself and everyone in your ken
upon the celebrated mercy of His court.
 
O child of God, the least, proud thought,
Meher says, veils you from Reality.
