A
profound observation of the ups and down of life reflects to the enlightened
observation —two aspects of life. In one aspect, life is activated being in
limits, while in other aspects it demonstrates limitlessly that is beyond the
binding of its constraints. Afore mentioned viewpoints gives rise to two
aspects:
1. Fiction knowledge rooted on constraints
2. Real knowledge based on constraint-less
roots
Life is
a journey — on his pilgrimage a student starts accumulating knowledge since the
start of journey. At occasions some students become obsessed and absorbed in
the attractions of path while on the other hand some students focused on the
natural signatures spread around them.
During
the journey —barren land, wilderness, mountains and deserts are faced, while
other aspect reflects a life —felicitous, full of colors and ecstasy.
Pilgrimage
wanders during their journey, remaining absorbed in the minutiae of the
pathway.
An
Instructor provides the awareness to student regarding the ups and downs of
journey. The very awareness reveals upon him knowledge. Whether limited or
unlimited, the journey of life, knowledge is essential element to the journey.
The
elder people quote an observation —a donkey appears weaker in autumn than in
spring. Because when he grazes in spring and looks back he sees green meadows,
it makes him worried that he ate not much, resulting him turn into bone
structure reflected over his ribs. While on the contrary, during autumn when he
grazes, he sees barren land behind, it feels him sense of fulfillment, good and
healthy.
Various
instances in life inform us about the transformation of life from infinity to
the finite circle and vice versa. Despite, these evidences conventional mindset
considers the finite activity of life as real, rather overwhelmed with the
deceptive colorful aspect of limited life.
Neutral
pattern of thought builds upon a relation where an individual is prevailed with
Blessing and Graciousness. Everything under the authority of that relationship
renders services according to predefined attributes and specific quantity. The
predefined characteristics loose the equilibrium when a constrained mindset
rebels.
The
counter equilibrium turns happiness into sadness, peace to restlessness,
comfort to discomfort, piety to impiety and humanity to egocentricity. Human
beings fell below their dignity and despite the abundance of resources, they
are overwhelmed with sadness like aforesaid donkey in green meadows.
Usually,
we do not pay attention, what leads to the deluge of agony, sadness, whims and
unpleasant thoughts? Conventionally, it is believed that a man can achieve what
he desires! While seeking happiness, one remains unhappy, what an unpleasant
consequence! Happiness is usually accompanied with shadows of doubt,
uncertainty, envy and fear; and they eventually make us unhappy.
Let us
have a look what is serenity? Why we remain unhappy?
1. Two aspects of life are the boundary
line, at one side mental disintegration, uncertainty, doubts and negative
thoughts dominate; while other side is free from uncertainty, doubts and
insecurity. This aspect is definite and consistent with Quran Kareem.
2. Babies born in this world according to a
System evolved and maintained by Allah. They are not imbued with doubts, greed,
arrogance and bragging. Seven billion population can witness this very fact as
babies are grown up, gradually indulged in all aforesaid attributes as doubts,
attachment, egoistic and bragging, to name a few. With the passage of time, it
embeds in their lives.
We came
out to this planet, without awareness of past dwelling! Readers are encouraged
to pay attention to this fact, a third day in a baby's life can never appear
until previous two days are passed —are disappeared somewhere. Readers may
unfold tiers of their mind, where those two days have gone?
The
world around us is created for us; all resources are subjugated to us.
Bewailing the curse of very thought that we live for the world rather
otherwise. Neither resources, nor any worldly pleasure accompany our journey to
other world.
We can
witness, neither their money, nor a single piece of cloth is taken by any money
lord or land lord. Every bit of matter is left behind and what moves on —is
only them.
Allah
has created this world and resources to facilitate and each is obliged to abide
by human being rather than otherwise. Immobility even to lay left or right
side, a baby is dependent on others to put even cloth on. In the same vein, a
dead one is dependent on others to cover and burry into ground. Neither knows
where he went? What happened to him?
Dear
friends! World around us is full of resources. Whether Heaven or Hell,
resources exist everywhere with the exception of their nature. The Creator of
Universe has promised to fulfill the necessities of life. Human beings have the
option to acquire resources in or contrary to his conscience. Despite his daily
observation on demise of material body, individual consider this limited life
wholeness.
Maulana
Rumi said (Persian):
Aadmi
deed ast baqi post ast
Deed aan
bash'd ke deed e doost ast
That is
— “human being is an observation, rest is flash and bones; and observation is
actually Allah observed by Allah's Observation”
