Hush, don't say anything

The lamps are different,

but the Light is the same:

it comes from Beyond.

If thou keep looking at the lamp,

thou art lost: for

thence arises the appearance of

number and plurality.

Fix thy gaze upon the Light,

and thou art delivered

from the dualism inherent in the finite body…

There can only be One...

Rumi as translated by Sharam Shiva
