Prayer of the Sarmoun Darq

one who knows, but does not know that knowing –  is asleep. 

Let that one become One, whole. Let that one be awakened.

one who has known, but does not know:

Let that one see once more the beginning of all.

one who does not wish to know and yet says they wish to know:

Let that one be guided to safety and to light.

one who does not know and knows that not knowing:

Let that one, through this knowledge, know.

one who does not know, but thinks that they know:

Set them free from the confusion of that ignorance.

one who knows and knows that One is- is wise.

Let that One be followed. 

By that presence alone, humanity may be transformed.

I, who know, but do not know that I know. 
Let me become One, whole. Let me be awakened.
I, who have known, but do not know:
Let me see once more the beginning of all.
I, who do not wish to know and yet say I need to know:
Let me be guided to safety and to light.
I, who do not know and know that I do not know:
Let me, through this knowledge, know.
I, who do not know, but think that I know:
Set me free from the confusion of that ignorance.
One who knows and knows that One is- is wise.
Let that One be followed. By that presence alone, humanity may be transformed.

We, who know, but do not know that we know. 
Let us become One, whole. Let us be transformed.
We, who have known, but do not know:
Let us see once more the beginning of all.
We, who do not wish to know and yet say we need to know:
Let us be guided to safety and to light.
We, who do not know and know that we do not know:
Let us, through this knowledge, know.
We, who do not know, but think that we know:
Set us free from the confusion of that ignorance.
One who knows and knows that One is- is wise.
Let that One be followed. By that presence alone, humanity may be transformed.

As with our forebears,
so with our successors,
so with us.
We affirm this undertaking.
So let it be.
