One

One is without reason.

Everything needs a reason,but One never needs it.

Every number has a reasonto be the numberit is.

Except One.

Every number is in needfor the number One,but One never needs One.

Two needs Oneto be two.Three needs Oneto be three.One hundred needs Oneto be one hundred.Or it will be ninety-nine.

But One is without reason.

And if there is no One,there is Zero.There is nothing.

But if there is One,everything is going to befrom it.


(Mawlana Sheikh Mohammed Nazim Adil al-Haqqani al-Naqshbandi)
