Paradise
he first abode
of Adam and Eve, is inhabited in a space where there are grand palaces, rivers,
meadows, flower beds docked 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 be 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 lite 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 he 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
colourfiulness, 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 some 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,
seas-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 melodics 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 them, 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 deviatio1 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)
I, 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.
