There is no one in this world other than God

Do not seek help from anyone else.

The whole creation is in need of Him,

Yet He is in no need of anything else.

Grab God’s garment and ignore everything else,

May you receive guidance from His grace.

Love is vital on the path of the Friend,

But this crown is not worthy of every head.

You need love to be lost in God

And liberated from good and evil and right and wrong.

He will take you away from yourself and turn you into Him,

You will be liberated from intelligence, knowledge and wisdom.

He will wash away “I and you” from your heart,

The Truth will then bestow light upon your heart

and you’ll become Its confidant.

– Dr Javad Nurbakhsh
