Seclusion, Solitude And Renunciation Poem by Genova Maaa my mother

The Neoplatonists, Mohammedans,
Hindus, Buddhists and the christian
ascetics follow the purgative way.

In Attar's Allegory of the Valleys,
the valley of self-stripping
and renunciation comes first.

Al Ghazzali, the persian contemplative
follows the way of purgation.

Seclusion, solitude and renunciation of property,
conquering desires and struggling with passions,
is accepted as a means to purify the soul.
