Baba Afzal Kashani : You must be cross-eyed

For some background on this 13th c. Persian mystic, see this post.

You must be cross-eyed not to see the Real
Or lack the eyes to look at Him, I feel,
To know that you, from head to toe, are HIM —
The Universal Apple, core and peel.

Translation Peter Lamborn Wilson and Nasrollah Pourjavady
