The seeker loses his way to You

by Nizami Ganjavi

English version by Vraje Abramian
Original Language Persian/Farsi

The seeker loses his way to You
for he brings his own ideas into this.

One who approaches You through You,
tears up all useless maps and papers.

You can only be found through You,
all else is to be abandoned.

-- from Winds of Grace: Poetry, Stories and Teachings of Sufi Mystics and Saints, by Vraje Abramian
