Because the Divine Essence concealed Itself behind so many veils, differences arose among people, leading one to become a believer and another a Jew.

Here, the poet touches upon a classic Sufi theme: the Ultimate Reality is singular and indivisible, but it conceals itself behind countless veils of existence. Because the Divine remains shrouded in mystery, different people perceive only fragments of the truth, leading to diverse creeds, doctrines, and names like believer or Jew. The divisions in our world are not because the divine is divided, but simply because the one essence wears so many disguises.
