Chapter 56
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
