Milieu constructs human mind and
his thinking approach. Mind accommodates, more or less, the same features,
which exist in the surroundings. Construction of the thinking approach is
directly related to with the lightness or sharpness of the featuring
impressions of the environments. If a child grows in such an atmosphere, where
his parents and other people living in the surroundings have complexes,
dishonesty and other similar disgusting and intolerable habits, then the child
is bound to have the same traits and thinking approach. Similarly, if a child
has chastity in his ambient environment, he will be virtuous and chaste.
It
is our common observation that the child speaks the same language, which his
parents speak, learns the same habits and customs, which are transferred to him
from his parents. Fifty percent of a child's personality is contributed
by the parents' traits and the surrounding atmosphere contributes the remaining
fifty percent. This is not only true for the children but is equally valid for
the nations and individuals. All that has happened since the Eternity, is taking place or would ever happen is
the heritage of mankind and the very same is being transferring to the nations
and the individuals.
Law:
When the child is born, his
conscious is just like the plain paper. Foundations of the conscious are
already laid in him by the conscious of his parents i.e. the conscious of a
child is formed when the conscious of the mother and father combine. This
conscious keeps on multiplying with the urges of life and the alteration of the
circumstances.
1 Child's
Conscious + Parents' Conscious + Conscious of ambient surrounding = Individual
Conscious
2 Individual's
Conscious + Consciousness of Historic Events and happenings =Ancestral Conscious.
3
Ancestral Conscious + National Conscious =Adam's Conscious.
Conscious of Adam is included in our conscious and by adding together it is taking an evolutionary shape. It is the law, when two things mix together and merge into each other a third thing is produced eventually mixing syrup in water produces a drink. When water is heated steam is produced, and when the chill of ice is included in water, the water will have the properties close to ice. Similarly when the conscious of mother and father infuse together, a third conscious which is called a baby, comes into being.
Human evolution is the name of
regular, continuous and successive transfer of the consciousness. There was a
time when people used to live in caves. Then the people saw the Stone Age.
After that the articles of stone, implements and instruments of Stone Age kept
on transforming into other metals.
Mankind,
in the same manner, is living upon that heritage which has descended down
from Adam. Adam committed disobedience; the children of Adam have the heritage
of disobedience. Adam implored for forgiveness, this approach is also
transferred to the children of Adam.
According to the theory of
Chromolucis, sighting is of two types; direct sighting and indirect sighting.
Direct sighting purports to behold an object without involving any medium. And,
indirect sighting means to see an object through a medium all that ever
existed, presently exists or will ever exist in the universe is a record. It
means that all our senses are also a record. The urges of thirst and hunger are
information. When meanings are ascribed to the information it becomes an
indirect approach of thinking. This thing can be explained with the help of a
very simple example. There is a person who does not use spectacles; all that he
sees is direct sighting. Another person uses spectacles, whatever he sees, is
seen through the medium of glasses. For more elaborate explanation of this
example it could be said that if the glasses of the spectacles are of red
colour, then everything would appear red. If the glasses are blue everything
seen through them would appear to be blue although the object is neither red
nor blue, When a coloured glass is used as a medium of sight, only that would
be seen which the glass would show.
The Lord Creator created Satan
too. Devil cannot be termed anything else but a creation of God, It indicates that
version of life, which is not liked by the Lord Creator, and the quality of
obedience in contrast with the devilish one is liked by the Lord God.
When a student who is intelligent
and enjoys masterly skills and knowledge of sciences other than spirituality,
wants to learn this knowledge, he has to behave like a child; because in the
field of spiritual sciences he is not more than a child.
Imam Ghazali, the renowned scholar of his times, conceived the idea of learning the science of spiritual associability; He traveled far and wide in search of a spiritual academy but in vain. Someone asked him, if he had seen Abu Bakar Shibly, he responded, that he had not left anyone reputed in this regard but he has been constrained to conclude that these are all mere stories without any solid foundation or substance. Then it occurred to him that why to leave this one untried. And in order to satiate his quest, he went to see Hazrat Abubakar Shibly. When he
reached there, he was in the robe of honour, And, Shibly was sewing his tattered gown
with his back towards the entrance. When Ghazali approached. Shibly without
turning around said, 'Well, you have come. Ghazali. You wasted enough of your
time. For learning this knowledge you have to act first. If you are ready to
act before learning then you may stay with me otherwise you better go back'.
Ghazali considered the proposal for a moment then said, 'I would stay with you,
' upon hearing this Shibly told him to go to the corner of the mosque and stay
there. Ghazali did as he was told. After a while Shibly took him along to his
residence. Ghazali was happy to have such a hospitable mentor who was taking
every care of his comfort and well-being. After a few days, Shibly said, well,
let us get to work, Ghazali! And to begin with, take this bag containing dates
to the market and sell these dates for a slap each. Imam Ghazali did as his
mentor commanded him. This continued for three years. Imam Ghazali would take a
bag full of dates to the market and whoever
slapped him would have a date for each rebuff On completion of three years Abu
Bakar Shibly transferred that sublime knowledge to Ghazali for which he
had so earnestly searched so long.
When Ghazali returned to Baghdad,
he was wearing an ordinary dress and the only thing, which he had, was a bucket
tied to a piece of rope. When the people of
the city came to know about his return, they gathered to welcome him. When they
saw him in that tattered and torn dress they asked him in bewilderment
"what caused you to be in this state." Imam Ghazali replied, "By
God, my life would have been wasted if I hadn't been through this " the
reply of Imam Ghazali is worth considering, A learned, celebrated scholar of
his times says that, "if the knowledge about soul had not been explored by
him his life would have been wasted." If he had started debating the
reasonability of distributing dates in that odd manner he would not have had
that knowledge. If a student is egoistic and is conscious of knowledge
possessed by hiM, then he cannot learn the celestial knowledge When Muslims
recite the First Creed (kalimah
tayyabah), first they negate every god and then acknowledge God. There is
no god (la illaha) Except
Allah (Illallah). General description
of this creed given is that in the
times of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) people
used to worship idols considering them gods. La illaha purports that the idols are not God but Allah. But
according to the direct approach and profound deliberation its explanation
would be that La illaha means that we
repudiate our conscious knowledge about Allah and, acknowledge Allah as He
Himself proclaims to be through His messenger Muhammad (PBUH). We acknowledge
and recognize Allah as is known and introduced by Muhammad: the Prophet of God.
To wit, first we negate our
knowledge and then affirm its existence Negation of our knowledge is the
self-denial and when the self is denied there remains nothing except Allah: the
Supreme God.
