The Barrier Vanished Poem by Mohammad Younus

"Wake Up! " - Hadi (guru) said in my ear,
At mid night when I was in deep dream;
"I have a message for you at this moment,
Wake up, hear the sweet notes of Hu Hu",
On hearing these melodious notes,
My heart's beat sped up, my head got dizzy,
The two angels standing by my sides started writing,
My pitiable condition when I was awed by the heavy notes,
"Don't swoon here, my son, open your heart's ear",
The gentle Hadi jolted my head,
Taking me out from where I stood in swoon,
There came a signal then to me:
"Keep quiet and stand steady! Go on listening God's name',
With tears getting dry in my eyes, I absorbed in silent prayer,
The wordless voice became louder, bigger, and sweeter,
Then the voiceless words began to drop on me like rain drops,
It was like a dry and arid land being watered to give life to it,
I became aware of the presence of the sovereign lord of all dominion,
He constantly gives me knowledge and wisdom to know his reality,
I now come to understand that God is infinitely close to me,
But there stands a high mountain between God and me,
Like legendary Farhad,
I tried to remove this mountain by my spade and shovel,
But, eh! This was all in vain!
A thirsty man running after a Mirage!
The barrier was just hypothetical, not real, I realised the truth,
It stood between God and me as long I was in delusion of duality,
The barrier vanished when I found that the barrier was never there.
