O ye, under this and that why not to draw a line,
Thought of duality is sufficient proof of the distance of thine
In all the universe, surely and with certainty,
There is one reality and one personality pervading and fine,
Hazrat Abu Said bin Ab'il Khair
from Abu Said Ab'il Khair and his Rubaiyat. by Dr Zahurul Hassan Sharib. Sharib Press
1992.
This picture is intended to evoke the idea of a drop of water
merging into the water. At the same time it is intended to evoke the
idea of a lamp in a niche. (ayat Nur in the holy Qur'an).
The poem refers to the absolute unity which underlies all
differentiation into this or that object. The drop merges with the
ocean and its separate identity is lost in the ocean of unity.
