256
I tell my desire-mindThat God is not pleased with us
Because we want to possess Him,
But my mind does not believe me.
I tell my aspiration-heart
That God is extremely pleased with us
Because we want to be possessed by Him,
But my heart does not believe me.
I tell my illumination-soul
That God is extremely pleased with us
Because we are manifesting Him
In a remarkable way,
But my soul does not believe me.
O my Lord Supreme,
Nobody believes me.
Do You think that at least
You can believe me?
“My child,
Not only do I believe you,
But I also appreciate your mounting
And illumining wisdom-flames.”
