You Cannot Enter The House Of God Poem by Mohammad Younus

You cannot enter the House of God;
Tormentous meditations avail not...
...nor the philosophical contemplations;
No gaze could attain it;
Nothing could avail...
...but the sincere act of love;
Therein enter those who do not seek...
...the reward other-than-him,
Ask from God only God;
I saw that the act of love...
...sincere in him and for him alone...
...raises from the floor to the...
...highest plane of vision;
There it is written upon...
...the door of the House of God:
None can enter here save he...
...who has passed the reckoning;
Know that you too yourself are...
...the House of God;
In all the houses only God abides!
You are not simply a human body...
...of bones, sinew, and skin,
