Amen. So when he said to him, “It is You we worship, and You we seek help,” he said to him, “And what is my worship?” He said, “The proof of monotheism in the plural.” And separation, when it became established in the soul that salvation lies in the oneness which It is the straight path, and it is the self’s witness of its annihilation or its continuation, if it neglects.
