To Give and Forgive
“God gives and forgives and man gets and forgets”. “To err is human; to forgive is divine.” These two sayings of wisdom combined together, give an insight that reveals still another scenario _____ i.e. when man forgets to forgive, he assigns a trait that is erratic to his self. The invisible line that delineates Godliness from man-kind is His infinite ability to forgive. He, Who nurtures Nature with an uninterrupted supply of nutrition, He nourishes the spiritual self of man
From Man to Human
It took many eons and some one lac and twenty thousand prophets to evolve man into human being. Some biologist The prophets who were taught directly by their Lord, taught man humanity. It is not a hit and trial flight of thought that landed man on to the moral grounds. Man attained metaphysical and ultra- biological entity only by following the teachings of their prophets. In prehistoric era man who was now known as homosapien ( a biological nomenclature that biologists had
Forbearance….. A forefront of morality
Morality is a state; and forbearance is its capital. Forbearance is the founding stone of a civilized society. Forbearance is the foreword of every book of morality. Soul of human society is morality. Stronger the soul, longer lives the society. Forbearance is much more than mere tolerance. Forbearance may well be defined as a willful tolerance. If we forego forbearance, for an instance, we have no stance in a civilized society. The best utilization of our free will is to su
To Acknowledge the Knowledge
The real way to know, for a man, is to know that he does not know. This is Socrates’ methodology. It is a simple rule; admit the sphere of unknown and step in the inn of knowledge. This rule overrules the arrogance and prejudice that has overwhelmed common man’s intellect since eons. The pride of what is known blocks the code that decodes common sense into Knowledge. In addition to Socrates’ path, there is still a safer way to enter the realm of knowledge. It is a two step jo
Freedom of Expression
Freedom of expression is an expression of freedom. Freedom is a privilege quite precious. Only a man with a civic sense can understand what does a privilege actually mean. Like any other privilege, freedom also warrants obeying some civic norms and rules. Only nomadic and psychotics can afford to pay no heed to the norms of society. Modern means of transportation and modes of communications have gradually submerged the isolated pockets of human societies into a global commun
Nearness to His Highness
Had his Highness been a physical reality, proximity could have been enough for the seeker. Had the Seeker been a physical entity, the physical nearness alone would have furnished the decorum of Love. Man is a triad of Body, Soul and Nafs; body is the vehicle of soul and soul is the vehicle of Nafs, in yet another sequence. Nafs is usually a misnomer for any vicious and viscous trait of man but in reality, Nafs (نفس انسانی) is actually “what-he-is”___real identity of “him”.
Making of a Diamond
Intent precedes thought and thought then proceeds to make actions. Action is a fruit of thought; intent is a food for thought. An ill-intention spoils the fragrance of thought and makes its logical outcome, which is action, distasteful though it may sound virtuous in its face value. Intention of a man is a mirror reflecting the real face of his faith. Faith becomes fable when intention of a believer is not true. Beautiful and galactic narrations of Truth bear no fruits whe
Light and Delight
Though it is difficult to identify someone’s real identity, it is much easier to identify the points in one’s life that make him delighted. If the pivotal point of delight for him is a material object, it is for sure that he is a worldly man, unaware of the worlds within him. His identity, in its real value, rests upon material things. In fact when man identifies himself with material things, he acquires false attributes because everything material, with all its attributes an
To know how to know
Super highway of information technology makes a round trip around the globe with a staggering speed. The speed of transmission of information has literally rocked the cradle mankind, once known as Earth. There echoed bells of applause and jubilation as the speed approached nearly the speed of light in a fiber glass. But this goblet of IT remained empty; it fails to satisfy the real needs of man. Instead it fuels his lust for speed, often misspelled as need for speed. The grow
