                                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
                                                           g
            Thus, the mystic Oneness of God is treasured by the world
