Man And Universe Poem by Mystic Qalandar

Man and universe—
intertwined, indivisible.
Neither yields meaning alone.

What is this cosmos, if hollow,
without the weight of man upon it?
What is man, if the vastness
was not hallowed and shaped for him?

Not two, but one:
a single living weave,
a sacred terrain breathing
with a single pulse.

For this, I bow in gratitude.
Never had my life shone so plainly
as when the hidden flame in me—
through the consecrated insight given to me—
answered the ancient enigma
of absolute oneness, bright as dawn.

In that revelation,
the stars ceased their orbit above me.
I ceased to stand beneath.
The firmament moved within my spirit
as rivers move within the sea,
and all creation converged
into one unbroken radiance.
