22
O SON OF DESIRE!
The learned and the wise have for long years
striven and failed to attain the presence of the
All-Glorious; they have spent their lives in
search of Him, yet did not behold the beauty
of His countenance. Thou without the least effort
didst attain thy goal, and without search
hast obtained the object of thy quest. Yet,
notwithstanding, thou didst remain so wrapt
in the veil of self, that thine eyes beheld not the
beauty of the Beloved, nor did thy hand touch
the hem of His robe. Ye that have eyes, behold
and wonder.
