Text
What are "I" and "You"?
Just lattices
In the niches of a lamp,
Through which the One Light radiates.
"I" and "You" are the veil
Between heaven and earth;
Lift this veil and you will see
How all religions are one.
Lift this veil and you will ask—
What is mosque?
What is synagogue?
What is fire temple?
Sa'd al din Mahmud Shabistari (1288-1340),
translated by Andrew Harvey and Eryk Hanut.
