En-Songs without Names: Poems by Frithjof Schuon Vol. I-VI-VIII

All-Possibility: from it stem the many things

That we see in the world and in life;

All destiny’s colors, joys and pains,

In Mâyâ’s unfathomable play.

See the colorful splendor of the many birds:

Here are the red ones, there the blue and yellow.

God did not make us from without —

Each living being willed itself.

God said: I was a Treasure, but no one knew

Of It; then came the world, which had to know Me.
