" The heretic might say, " it was I that exists everywhere and as everything, even as myself that did these things. " For that, he would have been burned, tortured and executed a while back, and right now in Muslim countries. The mystic might say, " look no further than yourself. " In the context of this list dedicated to Niz, the poem is just stupidity which also exists in the oneness of life. Quote
