Not from ink,
nor from the echo of borrowed tongues—
this knowing descended
like mercy upon a heart made still.
I did not seek it in the world,
yet it found me
when I ceased to be a seeker.
From the covenant of Alast,
a whisper returned—
not heard,
but remembered:
"Am I not your Lord? "
And before thought could rise,
before "I" could stand—
the answer flowed
from the Real to the Real:
"Indeed… You are."
The mind withdrew—
a silent servant
at a door it could not enter.
No questions remained,
no distance survived—
only presence,
only a nearness
older than time.
The veils did not tear—
they faded,
like mist before a sun
that always was.
And what was revealed?
No path to walk,
no truth to attain—
only this:
The seeker
was never born.
The Sought
was never absent.
And all along—
it was
the Truth
knowing
itself.
