In The Library Of The Heart... Poem by Mohammad Younus

In the dominion of the heart...
...where silence has fierce presence...
...beneath the gaze of the divine...
...seated on his throne...
...lies the hidden truth, unspoken...
...yet fiercely neat and clean;
The reservoir of divine knowledge!
No one gifts the knowledge that you seek.

For heart has a library, vast and grand,
Guarded by the very hands that is...
...the source of all Knowledge;
The books of wisdom, you must read...
...within the fortified library of your heart.

The gurus and Shaykhs will offer you...
...only crumbs, a semblance of the feast...
...but never the banquet that would...
...make you a true and real Gnostic;
The gnostic's path, from the ancient past...
...is paved with self-known truths...
...that let him obtain the true knowledge.

So yourself study the divine books, and...
...words of wisdom, in the library of your heart...
...with devotion and concentration;
For no Guru or Shaykh can ever...
...aptly teach the lessons you seek;
So wake up, then, to gain the màrifat of God...
...and acquire knowledge in your heart...
...the core of your being!
