A Song Inspired by the Divine Reality

Our lovers chose love as their faith;
And they do not resist Our way, the way of love.

We said to the lovers in a retreat of deep surrender,
“We gave you sight to behold Us and thereby to unveil you,
and to fill you with Our infinite beauty.”

If you saw Our beauty as Our beloveds have seen it,
You would not have fled to any other.

If you had seen Our lights,
You would have left all others and come to us.

And if you had been touched by the breezes of Our nearness,
You would have loved Us and yearned to dwell with Us.

And if you had tasted a morsel of Our love,
You would have forgiven those who died for Our love.

And if you had heard the beauty of Our voice,
You would have shed your pride and come to Us lovingly,
obediently and humbly in order to obtain security in Our sacred presence.
