Karda Qadam Be Sar Manam,
Mann Na Manam, Na Mann Manam

The keeper of inner secrets,I am,
I am, the reflection of my anguish
He who moves on his head,
I am, Yet, I am not.

These lines from Hz Shah Niyaz(R।A।) shows the height of ecstasy-oneness with Allah। He sees in himself various reflections yet he is aware that-whatever he feels he is, he is not। He feels himself full yet he is aware of emptiness। Emptiness felt after total surrender. The height of Tawhid-Only HE is there, every thing else seems to be present but is not. "I am naught, He is all; there is no being but God's." This is the extreme of humility and self-abasement.
