Confine yourself

Confine yourself                                                                                    
 
O Meher, You confined Yourself – in the Jopdhi,
in the table-cabin, in the bamboo cage,
 
in sundry mountain caves, in the blue bus,
in a hut atop Tembi Hill;
 
in the crypt before . . . and after
it became Your Tomb.
 
You confined Yourself –
in Your great Silence; in Your human body.
 
You confined Yourself, perhaps
to show how we might be free.
         
O pilgrim, retire now to the narrow,
holy cell of remembrance; of contemplation   
 
and meditation; fetter your mind and tongue
to the unyielding repetition of His name.
 
Confine yourself to God.
If God is not enough, what is?
 
O child of God, it’s Illusion that’s restrictive,
repetitive and tedious.  The Truth of Meher is boundless.
