The Inside Edge Poem by Nazmul Haque

When you look inside
you will find infinite blueness,
a new sky opening up
with as many stars as outside,
with as many suns and moons as outside.

The outer sky is nothing
compared to the inner:
the inner is vaster,
the inner is far more beautiful,
and tremendously fascinating.

Look for the way
to go into the depth
of your own interiority.
Know thyself,
take a jump into the unknown realms
of your inner self,
Many many flowers keep smiling there,
Just step in,
put down your logic, take up your feeling,
let the heart be the master
and the head be the slave.

Then the sun-rise will take place inside you,
all conflict ceases,
all anguish disappears,
and slowly the darkness becomes light,
and even death is transformed
into eternal life.
