Do not say I am in me; I am not in me
There is an I in me, deeper within than me
Yunus Emre, Dîvân (13th-14th century), the poem with the refrain "içeri" (within).
Do not look for me in me, says Yunus.
I am not here.
A person tells his name, his age, his work.
All true.
None of it is him.
There is another I.
Within, without a name.
To reach it, no walking is needed.
It is enough to draw the visible I a little aside.
Love takes a person by the hand and does this.
