Best Oneness Prayer
June 10th, 2009 | Published in Meditation
One of the best prayers ever written on Oneness–on seeing God in everything. This is the ultimate goal. Meditate on this; disappear in its truth and meaning.
A Vision Of God
In the market, in the cloister—only God I saw.
In the Valley and on the mountain—only God I saw.
Him I have seen beside me oft in tribulation;
In favor and in fortune—only God I saw.
In prayer and in fasting, in praise and contemplation,
In the religion of the Prophet—only God I saw.
Neither soul nor body, accident nor substance,
Qualities nor causes—only God I saw.
Like a candle I was melting in His fire
Amidst the flames outflashing—only God I saw.
Myself with mine own eyes I saw most clearly,
But when I looked with God’s eyes—only God I saw.
I passed away into nothingness, I vanished,
And lo, I was All-living—only God I saw.
Baba Kuhi of Shiraz, an Iranian Sufi Mystic and poet who died in 1050 A.D
