The only real relationship I have
with my fellow creatures (per my Lord)
is the shared interior presence of the One God
hidden under His multifarious disguises.
To align my human relations
nearer to the truth, my Lord suggested:
Why not consider
yourself already dead?
And thus by the absence of self
reduce the illusory two by one –
bringing to my every worldly association
only the mutual, pared down, honest,
soul-baring relationship of the creature to its Creator.
O child of God, move toward the truth
by arranging your own humble departure.
