2. An Other Letter


A reader of the daily Hurriyat, Karachi had objected upon my articles ridiculing and using an abusive language. The reply to .that letter which published in my column, "Spiritual Treatment" of 7th July 1978, was thus dictated to me by my august mentor, Qalander Baba Auliya:

 

"How limited is the way of man's communication, and how many mistakes are there, we seldom bother to think. It is possible that our species does not consider it important or when they heed in this direction, they just glance in the emptiness and considering it of no use they opt to ignore it altogether.

 

Example: We often come across statements like this in stories. We were going through a very thick and huge jungle. The jungle was full of dark shadows. We were hearing the cries of the blowing wind.When the air would stop in the dark nights, the jungle would turn into horrifying wilderness and death.

Please read these sentences a few times and consider did the narrator say anything exact and specific, or, has just thrown his readers into the darkness?

The narrator did not specify what trees were there in the jungle. what did they look like, what was their size and shape, what types of their leaves and flowers were, what birds and animals related to those trees were there, how did this animals look like, what were the contours of land in the jungle and what types of terrains were there. What was the state of bushes and shrubs and the grass grown over there, what was the situation of water. Was there any sand beneath or was it hard and rocky? How many waterfalls, hills and mounds and sandy lands were there? Readers seldom take notice that absurd and meaningless things have been narrated to them. They did not understand in spite of reading        the text       except that an image of jungle emerged in their mind and their mind embrace that image and sleep over it and in a second or in a split of a second it awakened in the hope what would be happen next, what would the story teller would say ahead. Readers after reaching this state get absorbed and start praising the writer or the speaker. These sorts of labyrinths are common in the fields of knowledge. Millions and billions of books have been written about such labyrinths and billions and trillions of talks are given.

 

Now let's see what the history tells us? The history that is the custodian of man's knowledge so far discovered.

 

In the age of moon and stars worshipping it was said, the earth is stationary and the sun revolves around it. These were the old times, very old thousands of years ago. In the era next to that, man who was scared of unknown powers started saying that all my revolution are happening due to the powers of gods. Man of that era also said, somewhere there is a center of the souls and fate of man, stars, mountains, trees, rivers and animals is associated with that center. Winds and lights are provided from that very center. Gradually forms and figures were given to those souls, statues of gods were made and idol worshipping became the way of life. In the era of Pythagoras and Thais they asked what these stars are, what this matter is, and what this universe is. And said, these all are a collection of small particles of matter.

 

Now man started talking in philosophically and in terms of physical sciences. They thought some lights come out of human eyes and we see things. Millions of philosophers, astrologists, scholars, physicists and doctors said different things. They had differences why? Because of the fact that no one had the exact idea of the true reality, reality can be only one. There cannot hundreds and thousands of realities. If they had known the reality, they couldn't have any difference, not even that of opinions.

 

Then comes the era of sun- worshipping, Copernicus was a heliolater; he said sun is the center not the earth. This thing was said earlier but he presented his case more emphatically. and changed the map of astronomy. Then, the era of Isaac Newton dawned. He said mechanism and the force of gravitation are the ways of nature that is working on Newtonians Mechanics. Before the century was over the scientists started saying all that Newton had said, is not true and his force of attraction and gravitation became under discussion.

 

What Democritus, Lucretius and Leucippus had said about 22 centuries ago that the last particle of matter is indivisible; returned, but the time made this theory redundant.

 

Scientists said the, nuclear system is acceptable but what could be its last stage. In order to know and race began to break into the atom.

 

In the first half of the 20th century, man fled from all the fields. He gave the verdict that ether does not exit it was just a hypothesis of the past people.

 

Scientists of this age were despised of soul and spirit it scared them lest it may take the place of ether. Theories that lights emitted from eyes cause sighting were already ignored. Newer theories suggested that lights entering into our eyes causing the images and reflections upon the screen of mind. Thus it continues.

Psychologists started using the crunches of stimuli of sight, touch and hearing. Freud prepared a web tied upon the ideas from the past and a cage was mad from the chains of Darwinian Evolution and placed libido transferred from the ancestors in it, which contained all the sinful wishes in it. When he also feared the soul, he said, "This is Unconscious only."

 

When the contemporaries of Einstein started discussing the out come of though developed over centuries, they classified the wave, magnet and biological manifestations separately: Now nucleus has been broken down and the theory of Einstein formulated about Time and Space has been spread. He has stated that the taking Time and Space as two separate concepts is wrong because Space is oblique. It was said that the function of nature which is operative in the universe is not flowing vertically but is oblique. This thing rendered Attraction, speed of light and planets uncertain. The era is named as era of Relativity and Quantization.

 

Just consider, if the speed of light is accepted to be 300,000 km/sec, how the curvature of space and its measurement can be determined when we measure distances using straight lines and not by means of arches and semicircles. Parapsychology does not support Einstein and people like him.

 

Parapsychology describes that our ways of narration is full, of mistakes. When keep on uttering things without having any idea as to what we are saying. We say relics of past, our earth is billions of years old and the cosmos might be trillions of years in age. What does this all mean, what does lead to? Let's consider it.

 

Meanings of these words are quite clear i.e. the time of trillions of years froze to take the form of Space, which we call Cosmos. There was no Observer and Observed before the freezing of Time. There was no Cosmos, nor were there anyone to call it Cosmos. That was the same Time, which we cannot see or touch, nor can we feel it in or out, but still cannot deny it or the Timelessness.

 

This makes it clear that whether it is dreaming or wakefulness, we just refer to time, time is something which is extrasensory.

 

Now, coming to your question that during the nocturnal senses the time is not ignored like space, it is only a reference to the classification of conscious and unconscious determining. If the conscious is attentive towards Time, that is, if the conscious is aware of the passing of the moments one after the other then this determinant would strengthen the grip of Time but if the conscious is not heedful of passing of time, this determinant would make thetime of moments, hours, days and weeks gather into One single moment.

 

Thing to be pointed out is that time is considered to be because of its speed of passing. In actual effect, we cannot see, touch or feel a thing unless the time is frozen. The speed of freezing of time rolls and gathers the space. For example, we try to recall something in an age of fiftieth year, which had happened 4, 5 years back. The entire feelings of that incident are relived. For seconds or minutes we forget that our age is fifty years. This very thing is termed as freezing of time.

 

As far knowing and understanding of the senses is concerned we can only say that the human conscious is still nothing more than an infant sucking upon his thumb. No equivocal opinion can be formed about the senses since the day of the beginning of the universe.

The main difference between psychology and the parapsychology is that the psychologists despite the fact that they do not know the source and formulae of

Conscious and Senses, accept the Senses and this understanding is no different than the babbling of a two-year child, which he utters mimicking his parents. Whereas, parapsychology and all its allied sciences elaborate that what, in fact, are the senses, if they .are. If Time and Space exist, what is their relation with Senses and the Conscious and what, in fact, is their source.
