TAUHID OR THE UNITARY STATE OF GOD

Abu Bakr Shibli

 
One who writes about tauhid is a mulhid (rationalist);
one who points towards it is a dualist;
one who infers it is an idolator;
one who talks about it is irresponsible;
one who is silent about it is ignorant;
one who thinks that he has realized it, is self-deluded;
one who imagines its nearness, is distant from it;
one who weighs it with intellect, and forms ideas thereof, is indulging in make-believe;
and the one who finds it without seeking is the lost one.
