The Shma in the Talmud Is a Prayer of Divine Unity

In the Talmud, there's a discussion about when we should stay at the Shma. It suggests that one should position oneself as a kind of poor person relative to God or spirituality. Ibn Gabbi Roll has exactly that poem in the 11th century. I seek you every evening and dawn, my face and palms turned up to you with a thirsty spirit for you I moan like a beggar come to my door.
