O seeker of truth, it is your heart’s eye you must open.
Know the Divine Unity today,
through the path of love for Him.
If you object: “I am waiting for my mind to grasp His nature,”
Know the Divine Unity today,
through the path of love for Him.
Should you wish to behold the face of God,
Surrender to Him, and invoke His names.
When your soul is clear, a light of true joy shall shine.
Know the Divine Unity today,
through the path of love for Him.
Hasan Kaimi Baba (d. 1691) was a Sufi poet from Bosnia. This passage is published in Easwaran’s spiritual anthologies, “God Makes the Rivers to Flow” and “Timeless Wisdom.” The audio recording is by Eknath Easwaran’s wife, Christine Easwaran.
