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

There is no need to describe water

When someone is thirsty — so said a pious man;

Water must be drunk — syllogisms

Are worthless, they cannot reach God.

People may believe this, but it is wrong

If it means that thought is useless

For realization. Without a keen mind,

God will not give us the highest lights.

Truth is clarity, it is the highest place —

Does not the Scripture say: “In the beginning was the Word.”
