O How may I ever express that secret word? O how can I say He is not like this, and He is like that? If I say that He is within me, the universe is ashamed: If I say that He is without me, it is falsehood. He makes the inner and the outer worlds to be indivisibly one; The conscious and the unconscious, both are His footstools. He is neither manifest nor hidden, He is neither revealed nor unrevealed: There are no words to tell that which He is.

Saints, I see
The world is mad
If I tell the truth
They rush to beat me
If I lie they trust me

Then they kill eachother
Knowing not the essence

but if his heart be not steeped in that love, what does it avail, though he be a teacher of men?
