Paradise,
the first abode of Adam and Eve, is inhabited in a space where there are grand
palaces, rivers, meadows, flower beds decked with purple and yellow flowers, beautiful
gardens, shady trees laden with fruit, bubbling fountains of water, gushing
springs, waterfalls, canals, and abundant oases. All of these are present on
our earth too.
Earth is
a space and space is a division of a large place into smaller pieces. When we say earth, we are not referring to any
specific country or the various cities within the countries. Earth is an area that is beyond measure. It is said that our Earth is three parts of
water and one part of dry land. The mountains are pegged in the shape of rings
on Earth and the empty spaces that are in between the mountains are divided
into cities and countries. The total area declared to be that of Earth is only
an estimate. It is impossible to get accurate measurements because, even in
this age of scientific progress, certain regions on Earth remain undiscovered.
It is
assumed that the Earth is the only planet upon which one finds traces of life, however,
this is untrue. Life exists on every planet, and we see the moon, sun, stars, and
galaxies there too. The cycle of life and death, the construction of buildings,
cultivation and farming, the establishment of factories, the flight of
airplanes, large sea vessels, ships, and sailboats that travel after putting up
a fight with tough sea waves-these are all things that take place on the other
planets too.
No
creature on earth is colourless. There is colour in the fields and grasslands. Pay close attention and observe the flowers, gardens,
and parts of the trees. Be it the colours of the roots or the branches, you
will notice that the garments differ. A garment implies, the bark of the tree. The
colour of the leaves and flowers are varied too; the fruits on the trees are
also not colourless. This colourfulness, however, is an illusion.
There
are about 11, 500 species that inhabit Earth. One can account for at least 200
different types of creatures under every species-how many more can there be in
this case? They are unaccountable!
Fish are
a species. In a large aquarium, we see fish of varied colours, some red, some
purple, some transparent, some small, and some very large. Some of them are so
huge that thousands of fish become a mouthful for them. The same example is true for trees, birds, and
quadruplets.
As per
the law of creation, our Earth is divided into two parts. One part is that upon which mankind walks
around, sleeps and wakes up, eats and drinks. The other part is located in space which is
also like our earth. Two miles above the earth are the habitats of jinn, Wherein
there are flourishing systems established. There are lush fields, gardens, mountains, plants,
minerals, rivers, sea3-there is everything, The jinn eat and drink, and conduct businesses,
and their graph of invention and progress
is higher than the progress of mankind.
One must
know that the first abode of Adam and Eve was paradise and it is so even now.
The wise
and learned are those who are aware of their environment, circumstances, and
also their inner world.
It is
worthy to contemplate the thinking pattern that worked in Adam and Eve when
they lived in paradise. Paradise is an
infinite space and one cannot ignore the mindset that functions there. Divine
knowledge reveals that there are gardens, trees of pomegranates and dates, grape
vines, swings, rows and rows of lush trees, flower beds, and flowers made of
multiple colours in paradise.
When a breeze
blows, it is said that melodies emerge. When the flowers move, one perceives
them to be shimmering lights that go on and off and their fragrance wafts
inside the residents. The water is White as milk and is sweet. The golden
colour of honey and its taste are a thousand times superior to the honey we
find on earth. When one hears of the multiple rows of trees of pomegranate, dates,
and grapes. their mind does not move a step forward. However, one is compelled
to think about why Adam and Eve were temporarily devoid of the consciousness of
paradise, despite the presence of senses and awareness.
When one
is granted gifts and honours, they remain in gratitude to the person who
bestowed these upon then, follow their orders, and do not rebel against the
regulations stipulated by them-this, however, did not happen in paradise. Adam and Eve did not abide by the regulations that
were stipulated. The fundamental command was to attain certitude They had been
made aware that deviation from abiding by the command would result in a veil
being drawn over the consciousness of paradise. As soon as they deviated, they
were confined to a limited consciousness.
Limited
consciousness creates a sense of deprivation, restlessness, suffocation, and
regret. If the children of Adam and Eve
get rid of this mindset and attain the infinite consciousness of paradise, then
as long as they live in this world, it will become a paradise for them-and when
the journey of this world ends, they earn the eternal peace of paradise.
Respected
readers, colourful features were ingrained in your mind while reading this 'Message
of the Day'. God Almighty has stated that whatever is on earth, is a display of
various colours.
“And
whatsoever He hath created for you in the
earth of
diverse hues, lo! therein is indeed a
portent
for people who take heed. "(Quran, 16:13)
1, a Faqeer,
wish for you to pay attention to the consciousness of paradise and earth. Every creation on earth is confined in a
colourful encasement, and every colour is diverse from the others. Due to the difference in colours, one thinks
of every creature as separate from the other, when the truth is that, the
object that is overlapped in colours is born out of the earth. In other words, every
creature on earth looks separated from the others due to the colourful
encasements, however, on the inside, everything is earth. The illusion of
colours has kept mankind away from reality:
Illusion:
Mankind eats bread, and declares that their stomachs are full. After a few
hours, the need for food arises again. If they have eaten bread and their
stomachs are full, why do they feel hungry again? And where did the bread that
they ate, go? The question is, what did mankind eat?
L, a Faqeer,
wish for the revered teachers to solve this issue and discover the path of
escaping the illusory consciousness and entering the consciousness of paradise.
May God
protect you.
