483. ALAS! WHO IS NOT A FOOL?

```

Realisation counterfeit?

Is my love counterfeit?

Perhaps it is.

In that case, I have fooled the world.

Alas I Who is not a fool?

I have snatched God’s Delight.

Duty I snatch, delight I snatch,

Oneness I snatch,

From only one thing — God’s unconditional

Compassion-flood.
