You Are Away, Far Away, roaming In The Valleys Of Illusion Poem by Mohammad Younus

You are away, far away, roaming in the valleys of illusion;
Come, come, come near to one-reality;
So far away lost in wilderness...
...you cannot see the overwhelming one-reality;
Come, come, come near to one-reality;
Turn, turn back! Gently come out of illusion of duality;
Together the whole manifestation in the multiverse...
...comprises one-reality;
Apart from one-reality, I know not of anything in the multiverse...
...being in itself a distinct and separate reality;
In my essence too, I am not distant from one-reality;
When I contemplate on the essence of my own existence...
...I see I am neither away nor near to one-reality;
I am not a dualist suffering from blurred vision;
I believe solely and wholly in the existence of One- reality!
What is one reality?
Fas'alooo ahlaz zikri in kuntum laa ta'lamoon!
