Sometimes Divinity Rises Within You... Poem by Mohammad Younus

Sometimes divinity rises within you...
...like a crocus that blossoms...
...in early spring, even though...
...snow is still on the ground...
... from the light of your own heart;
The divine was already there...
...from the beginning...
...but you knew not.

You hear your story!
you hear the inspiration!
From the Truth, abiding in your heart...
...telling you where you are from...
...and where you are to go...
...after your sojourn in this world.

The journey on life's road...
...is never a difficult job for a lover;
The journey for a lover of truth...
...is always easy and enjoyable...
...having a sweet spiritual appeal.

When you hear your inner voice...
...you have to get up...
...and follow the divine command;
You can't sit by the fire of desires;
You can't live so close...
...to the live flame of temptations.

You have to go out..
...in the world of sipirituality...
...and make it your own home.
Then, of sure, you will live...
...a life abounding with peace...
...with the flame of divine love...
...all time burning in your heart.

A voice, saying listen!
You will hear from your lord;
This awful voice!
This awakening call!
This enlightening speech!
This tremendous love!
It is all here! It is all here!
It is all here! Nowhere else!
