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

A wise man said: ask yourselves — who am I?

This is not a Path. The wise man meant himself,

Describing his spiritual substance, given by God;

But it is not your substance, simply because ye think the same.

One cannot, without God, reduce the world to ashes —

‘By its fruit ye shall recognize the spirit.’
