Number 1

All that we know is nothing but God; the whole of our knowledge comes to just this: we know that He is being itself. He is being itself, look and see; do not ask how. There is nothing but Him, do not say, do not ask why.
Explanation: The poem expresses a mystical monism: God is identical with existence, so questioning anything beyond Him is pointless.
