La And Illa Poem by Mohammad Younus

La and Illa are the two garments that I take off...
...when I go to swim in the river of Unity;
He who is drowned in the river of Unity...
...goes beyond negation and affirmation;
La and Illa are just stages on the path of
...journey to Unity!
As a traveller walks on the path of Love...
...he walks off the two stops of La and Illa;
When the traveller reaches his final destination...
He comes out of duality and comes to live in Unity;
He who discovers this mystery is free...
...from walking in the wilderness...
...of all other disturbing mysteries;
When you comprehend the mystery of Unity...
...no mystery remains to be unlocked for you;
He who has not understood...
...the real meaning and significance of Unity...
...is the person who is deaf, dunb, and blind;
He may look like a human outwardly...
...but better than an animal he is not inwardly;
As Allah says:
'... do you think that most of them hear or understand!
They are only like cattle -- nay...
...they are even farther astray from the path.'
