The Way Of The Holy Ones' Poem by Mohammad Younus

O man, don't say He only spoke to Moses;
In fact, He is constantly speaking to his lovers;
Plug out from your ears the stones;
You will undoubtedly find Him speaking to you;
Don't look for Him everywhere -- He's looking for you,
Lo! It is not the thirsty person looking for water;
Rather it is the water looking for the thirsty person...
...to draw him near to it;
The persons walking in his way acquire His eyes and ears;
An ant walking in the dark night in the dark tunnel, He sees,
What the stream of consciousness carries, He knows it.
If there's a thought hidden in your sub consciousness, He knows it;
The inner sound of the soul's praise, Its visions, its secret ecstasy;
All this a gnostic knows by divine mercy!
That is the Grace of Allah, which He bestows on whom He wills;
And Allah is the Owner of Mighty Grace!
If you must ask anything from God ask Him just one grace:
'Open to me the Way of the Holy Ones of God! '
