Thus He Said Poem by Mohammad Younus

Thus He Said

He said, What are you doing?
I said, I am looking at the light inside
He said, This is like looking at the sun in a pool of muddy water
I said, I would look direct at the sun but it will burn my eyes
He said, why should you then aspire to see the light,
I said, to earn the paradise and avoid the hell
He said, the Hell and the paradise are certain and real,
They must not cause you to see the light
You must love with true sincerety the light
You must not love for fear of punishment, the light
You must not love for recompense, the light
Go and seek a fire-kindler
He will kindle the divine fire in your heart
He will reveal to you the seven signs
He will guide you to the arch of the middle prayer -
In the middle region of the sky,
Where the spirit dwelleth;
Where the pure and white music blossom,
Where you will take immersions,
In the wondrous effulgence of light,
Gushing forth from each atom of the universe,
Here you will get lost hearing the majestic sound,
While watching the purest light
This is the example of God,
the light of the heavens and the earth
