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.
