I saw my Lord with the eye of the heart. I asked: Who art Thou?
He answered: Thou.
…
In my subsistence is my annihilation;
In my annihilation, I remain You.
…
He is hidden in His manifestation, manifest in His concealing.
…
Thy Spirit is mingled in my spirit
even as wine is mingled with pure water.
When anything touches Thee,
it touches me.
Lo, in every case Thou art I!
