When You Are At Home With God Poem by Mohammad Younus

If you can take care of elementary needs, do so!
But when you're living at home with your God...
...you should not sew the world together with desires;
Nor should you tear it apart with renunciation;
When you are at home with God...
...existence and non-existence itself is illusion;
All that is in you and out of you, is one!
When you are at home with God...
...whether you are a Zahid or Sufi...
...such a superfluous categorisation disappears;
When you are at home with God..
...whether you are a Muslim or a Kafir...
...no such distinction remains;
When you are at home with God...
...you have got what you have sought:
The essence beyond any cause!

Be more like the servant who owns nothing...
...but is satisfied with whatever he gets from his master;
He does not feel appetite for having more and more;
He does no crave for anything from anyone except from God;
He does not grieve or fear anyone other than God.
