Masnavi II, 759-62
The Worker is hidden in the workshop:
enter the workshop if you want to see Him.
When the work weaves a veil over the Worker,
outside of that work you cannot see Him.
Since the workshop is where He is,
the one outside is unaware of Him.
So come into the workshop—that is to say,
nonexistence— and see
the work together with the Worker.
