In that , O Dear , lies the secret of the unity that is Beloved . ~ Sultan Bahu

When the Beloved revealed himself to me
I lost myself in him.

Now there is 
neither nearness nor union.

There is no longer a journey to undertake
no longer a destination to reach.

Love , attachment , my body and soul
and even the very limits of time and space
have all dropped from my consciousness.

My separate self
is merged in the whole

In that , O Dear , lies the secret
of the unity that is Beloved .

~ Sultan Bahu
