Zikr at Zawiyya al Mu'min ( 1000 Urlin Ave., Grandview Heights OH, 43212)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose you know the definitions of all substances
and their derivatives,
what good is this to you?
Know the true definition of yourself.
That is indispensable.
Then, when you know your own definition, flee from it,
that you may attain to the One who cannot be defined,
O sifter of the dust.

Chon be-dâni hadd-e khvod zin hadd goriz
tâ beh bi hadd dar resi ay khâk biz
