Chapter 56
Oneness of God

a
Those who know do not talk
Those who talk do not know

Close the mouth
b
Shut the door to senseless ideas
Blunt the cunning ways
c
Unravel the daily entanglements
d
Soften the glare of glory
e
Become One with the dust of the world
This is the mystic Oneness of God

Those who achieve the mystic Oneness of God
Are not affected by closeness f
Nor affected by abandonment
Are not affected by profiting
Nor affected by harming
Are not affected by honor
Nor affected by disgrace
Thus, the mystic Oneness of God is treasured by the world
