Background
A description of the experience
Garden of Mystery – The Gulsham-i raz of Mahmud Shabistari
Non being is the mirror of absolute being
The Real's brilliant reflection appears in it
When non being became aligned opposite Being
a reflection then occurred in nonbeing
Unity became visible from this multiplicity
The number one when counted became many
Although numbers all begin with one
they never reach a known limit
Since non being was in its own essence pure
from it appeared the 'Hidden Treasure'
Read the sentence 'I was a Hidden Treasure'
and become aware of the elusive secret
Non being is a mirror, the world is its reflection and man
is the eye of this reflection, beholding the hidden Viewer
