Truth is one, unique, single; it isindivisibly One.And its Oneness, and the knowledge ofthat oneness belongs to him; isplaced in him. Impossible, impossible; it is aloofness, estrangement, separation; he is known onlyby them. Knowledge of One is abstract; single, indivisible. To say one, and to say single is to reachthe attribute; but he, who is one, is beyondattribute. If I say "I, " he sends back "I, " in answerto my "I". So, "he" is for you and not forme. And if I say Unity is Oneness for hisloneliness, for his being alone, then Iplaced him increation; among things created. And if I say single One, as number one; howcan he comewithinnumber? And if I say, he is One for as theresult of being considered one, being proved One—then Iplaced limit on him; delimitedhim. Mansur AlHallaj
