The Book Of Mysteries Poem by Mohammad Younus

Hearken you who quest for knowledge about the Truth...
...from the Sacred Texts and the treatises of the philosophers!
Your quest is just the quest of a person who is lost in wilderness!
Heed my words, you are yourself the Book of God that contains the secrets!
But, being in delusion, you can't read the script of your book!
If you desire that this book of mysteries you must be able to read...
...enroll yourself then in the School of Knowledge and Wisdom;
And be totally attentive to the secret voice of the divine teacher!
If you long to listen to this secret voice, then open your heart's eyes;
For naught see these earthly, fleshly eyes save the gross matter!
You cannnot behold divine in this dusty realm, with your head's eyes;
For though He in you holds a place yet He is placeless!
He is beyond space! He is beyond time!
If you desire to recognise Him, then first recognise your self;
For He accepts those as his friends who recognise their self;
Then, by His grace, naught any other thing you will see...
...but His Oneness!
Thus, from Alif to Yaa, you'll know the arcane secrets...
...from the Book of Your Self and the Creation.
