I Had Heard That For Passing Into The State Of Poem by Mohammad Younus

I had heard that for passing into the state of,
Perfect annihilation, to know my true self,
I would have to obliterate my all thoughts -
Concerning Here and Hereafter;
I thought it is the path to Thee, but I was not right.
Ah! The reality is that actually no person at all,
May ever be able to make his brain non-functional;
None can ever draw near thee, save by Thy appointed ways!
My lord! I cannot live, without the thought of knowing You;
Thy thought is overwhelming me:
I cannot flee remembering thee.
I had been given to believe that I can,
Come to Thee by stopping all thinking --
Generating all thoughts save the thinking about You.
I for long wasted my time remaining busy with,
Brooming away the thoughts from my mind,
Before concentrating on your being.
Lo! How can I sever every thought from my mind?
Only after death can brain stop functioning!
I can think of thee only as long as I have a living brain...
...that can flood me with thoughts to know and love thee!
Without thoughts man is but a clod of earth!
