Heaven Is Nothing But... Poem by Mohammad Younus

Heaven is nothing but...
...just one's state of spirituality;
It is not...
...a place located on earth;
It is not...
...somewhere outside earth;
It is not...
...to be considered a holiday home;
It is not...
...the state of passivity;
It is not...
...the culmination of life's journey;
It is not...
...monopoly of any people;
It is not...
...reserved for any particular religion or faith;
It is not...
...preordained for any chosen people;
It happens in you progressively;
There is no end to its development in you;
It is the state of...
...awakening and enlightenment in you;
It is the inner beauty of human soul;
It is peace, love, and serenity achieved by you;
It is the reward of...
...true knowledge and wisdom acquired by you;
It is the spiritual perfection...
...that happens to gnostics continuously;
It expands with...
...every command of Be by your lord;
It is limitless like time and space;
Man goes on marching onward to receive...
...ever fresh illuminations from an Infinite Reality;
Which ‘every moment appears in a new glory'.
Heaven in truth is divine illumination of human soul.
