بخش ۱۷ / Section 17

Original content

ابوبکر واسطی - قدس سره - گوید: آن که گوید نزدیکم، دور است، و آن که گوید دورم به نیستی خود در هستی او مستور است.
هر که گوید که به آن جان جهان نزدیکم

باشد آن دعوی نزدیکی او از دوری
وان که گوید که ازو دورم، آن دوری او

هست در پرتو نزدیکی او مستوری

English translation

Abu Bakr al-Wasiti — may his secret be sanctified — says: The one who says 'I am near' is far, and the one who says 'I am far' is, through his own non-existence, concealed within His existence.

Whoever says that he is near to that Soul of the world, That claim of his nearness arises from distance. And the one who says that he is far from Him — that distance of his Is, in the radiance of his nearness, hidden away.
