To reach the source of all perfection
must you abandon your ego
all your personal desires
Listen to the interior music
flowing from the heart’s flute
to focus soulfully on God
Spin your body in repetitive circles
as planets whirl orbiting the sun
in a solar system
The semazen's camel's hair hat
but the tombstone of the ego;
wide, white skirt represents the ego's shroud
By removing black cloak
spiritually reborn to the truth
sans ego-driven desires
As Sema rites of ecstatic dance begin
the semazen appears holding his arms crosswise
to represent the number one, testifying to God's unity
While whirling, his arms are open:
his right arm is directed to the sky
ready to receive God's beneficence
His left hand
on which his eyes are fastened
is turned toward the earth
The semazen conveys God's spiritual gift
to those who are witnessing the Sema
fills them with divine benediction
Revolving from right to left
around the heart
semazen embraces all humanity with love
All beings have been created with Love
in order to love.
They are a bridge to Love Divine.
