Once someone asked me,

"Why do saints seek divine annihilation
And are often humble
And like to spend their free time
Upon their knees?"

I replied,

"It is a simple matter of etiquette."

Then they said,

"What do you mean, Hafiz?"

"Well," I continued,
"When one goes into a mosque or temple
Is it not common to remove what
Covers your
feet?

...

When one begins to realize
Upon Whom you are really standing,

One begins
To remove the 'shoe' from the
Temple."
