The Only Material - Hafiz (The Gift)

What
A
Skilled man can do with a
Hammer
The advanced pilgrim can do with
Thought.
One builds their own seat in the world
Using God-
The only material
That is

Analysis: I think this poem states that every human being is capable of doing whatever. However the path they chose to be (like becoming a carpenter) is determined upon God who is only one yet present everywhere.
