FAR ALONE DISCOVERS LOVE

The heart of a WOMAN who THINKS, in isolation and a distant fear.

Defiance is now for long so let the future be the only judge of her moves. Here she explains love, true love, pure love, spiritual love and nothing but the LOVE for all those who understands.
(This post is for all those visitors of this blog who passes by it frequently without posting comments.)
*The permission of the author was taken before its below publication.

Humanity is the experience of a multitude of throbbing realities intertwined in a matrix that is imbued with beauty, knowledge, love and even emptiness, which is the result of the absence of these. Despite various vices that are rampant in the experience of ‘humanity’ as understood today, in the realm of the spiritual, human souls are bound by the Covenant of ‘Alast’ to the Absolute, the Infinite, the Divine Creator of humanity and all that it encompasses. Prior to human existence, this Covenant imbued within humans the qualities of love and knowledge, and of these, this review will examine ‘l’ove (which I use to mean love of worldly things, base desire, yearning) in order to gain an iota of an understanding of Divine ‘L’ove.
Because of the innate need of the human soul to connect with the Divine, there is within every human a craving, a deep desire to perhaps return to the state of ecstasy that the soul experienced prior to its existence on earth. With the seed of Love implanted within it, the human soul has ventured into the modern era, where not only has the seed failed to germinate in countless hearts, but has been hidden in the folds of ephemeral longings and desires that play with the spiritual heart, so that it is blinded by consuming love.

When speaking of the Divine, it is vital to understand that there is no comparison of any Divine quality in this world. However, there are impressions, indications, ‘aayat’ or signs, as mentioned in the Holy Book, of the existence, and hence the affirmation, of the Divine. In the extract from ‘Love for Allah’ by Shaykh Zulfiqar, love is described as ‘metaphorical love’ and Love is described as ‘True Love’. The point to note in the usage of this terminology is that a metaphor is employed when there exists a relationship between the symbol used and the signified meaning. Hence, love is metaphorical because it is somehow connected to the Love of the Divine that is inherent in the human soul. In my understanding, where Love fails to grow, or where it is undernourished in the soul, love fills in the vacuum and makes the soul ill with its intoxication. Hence, the level of Love in the soul is inversely proportional to the level of love. Where True Love is lacking, there is love of worldly creations, however, where love is lacking, there may either be Love or there may be a void that needs to be filled.

The most striking feature of metaphorical love is that it is full of deceit. In the pursuit of desire, the self becomes so engrossed in the attainment of physical love that thoughts, actions and incentives all center around the obsessive thought of the beloved. There is in love the appearance of loyalty which is only loyalty to short-lived lust. There is yearning, which if satiated through physical contact creates more yearning. Therefore, the immediate satiation of physical desire is not fulfilling, rather it is a lethal
[1] dose of temporary pleasure. An inescapable need to fill the well of desire within will surround the lover so that he/she does not realize that the well is accumulating with toxin so that it slowly poisons the soul, leaving no chance for the growth of the seed of True Love.
The lover joys to dwell
in love with Love.
(Yahya bin Muadh)
It appears as if worldly obsession seems to be similar to the obsession with God that is described in the poetry of the Sufis, in the manner of being all-consuming. However, it is vital to comprehend that the Sufis have experienced a germination of the seed of Love in their souls so that they are in a higher plane of existence where True Love not only satiates them but fills them so that they are at peace and in submission to the True Beloved. There is no destruction of the soul here, rather there is growth and harmony between it and the body which will act in accordance to the True Love.

Another feature of metaphorical love is its characteristic of distance. If nearness to the beloved cannot be achieved, then the lover will continue to burn in his/her destructive desire until he/she loses his/her faculties of rationality. This can potentially transform into the feeling of despair which can aggravate the individual who has already experienced a spiritual demise. This is not true of True Love, which does not allow for despair, but which, instead improves rationality so that it goes hand in hand with the senses and makes them yield to the Love so that they are immersed in a state of continual bliss.

Although the author of ‘Love for Allah’ could have drawn a comparison between yearning for worldly creation and the yearning for God, it is evident from his explanation of the principle of ‘spiritual death’ that the spirit of one enamored with love is ill and cannot fathom any form of yearning except for the worldly creation. Perhaps the best form of yearning for love is that which emanates from the germination of the seed of Love in the ‘fitra’. If one is yearning for someone or something that they hope will bring them closer to God, their spiritual heart may be in the process of awakening, or in the process of learning to fathom the depth of Love so that they can eventually experience spiritual satiety.


Base love is most disobedient to wisdom and sense. True Love is the most pacifying and serene of states. Yet, I imagine a love of creation that is for the sake of the Divine, and that branches out of the seed within the soul. It originates quietly, splitting the soul so that it is aware of Truths beyond those experienced by the body. It spreads like fire through the being and yet, remains like imprints of silent whispers in the mind. It brings about love for creation so that all that is vile in the created becomes beautiful to the inner eye. Such a love emanates from True Love and it is through the realization of this Love that there is an awakening of the heart, soul and consequently the self.

In the state of True Love, there are no concerns of the lover as he/she is in a completeness that entails no worries. This state is unfathomable in my experience, however, God in His infinite Mercy has created avenues upon which to tread to obtain a closeness to Him.

The human soul is the seat of Love provided by the Divine, and the human covers this Love with superficial triviality. How ignorant are we to cover what shines with dust, and what pacifies with what exacerbates! In the passage through life which is full of thorns, we are equipped with an armor that will protect us within ourselves, but we persist in shedding it off to be in our feeble worldly attire.

[1] Illicit love leads to a spiritual death because there is no room in the spiritual heart for God if the heart is full of the thoughts of the ‘worldly’ beloved

INDIA EMERGES AGAIN

The prospects of “Bharat Yatra” are emerging once again, but this time to the capital New Delhi. I would like to visit Delhi for several reasons.
1) Since so many rulers have invaded it several times in history, my share is still vacant. The area between Kashmiri Gate and Chandni Chowk (Old Delhi) is centre of attraction.
2) It carries the flavour of two great civilizations because of its centrality i.e. The Indus Valley (Pakistan) and the Ganges Valley (India).
3) Once again I would like to be a peace pigeon.
4) This time, most of my friends have been selected too, contrary to last year’s trip to Mumbai where though I had time of life, its horrors are extant because of my sublime loneliness. (Not to forget the night stay on Karachi airport, and lost wallet episode in Mumbai)
5) It’s the last year at Pakistan College of Law and technically that too of my academia in my homeland (I suppose).
6) I would like to surprise my old friends in Mumbai.
7) One of my favourite authors Khushwant Singh has so profoundly written about the lusty, charming and libido climate of Delhi, in his novel called DELHI.
8) The journey will be across Wagha on ‘Dosti-bus’ and thankfully not through the haggard aerial route.
9) It carries vital academic significance for my portfolio.
And last but not the least at all.

10) I WANT TO PAY HOMAGE DIRECTLY TO MY CHACHA GHALIB.


The visit is to take place somewhere in mid-March and though the complex procedural requisites haven’t been fulfilled yet, I am looking forward to the trip. In each case Delhi is on cards and despite all the odds against and my CHACHA’S favourite adage:

Dili abhi door ast
(Delhi is still far away…)


Delhi HERE I COME. I mean here I come (INSHALLAH).

THE SELFISH god RESIDES IN ALL. EXPLOIT IT THE MOST, FOLLOW IT CLOSELY AND IF POSSIBLE NURTURE IT WELL. IF WE ARE SELFISH, MOST OF OUR PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED BUT PLEASE DONT TRY THIS AT HOME. I LIKE THIS BELIEF BUT THE TROUBLE IS THAT THE MOMENT I TRY TO PRACTICE IT, I FALL IN LOVE. TRUE LOVE, REAL LOVE, SERIOUS LOVE and NOTHING BUT THE LOVE. Actually selfish charms are important but all of us fails to appreciate and savor the SWEET NECTOR OF SACRIFICE, OH! SACRIFICE, INDEED SACRIFCE WHICH IS SO IMMENSE A MISSING LINK OF OUR LIVES AND OUR CREATIONS.

Chacha Ghalib is great, so great, ever live his words and his poetry. Chacha you had a painful life, first heart break at the age of 5 and that legacy continued till you died. He had 5 dead children and so many, so many and so many KARZAAZ (debts) hovering over his head. The drunkyard icon of subcontinent lived in misery but so rich were his thoughts actually jewels that came out of him.
"Ragon mai dornay phirnay kay hum nahin kayal,
jab aankh he say na tapka to LAHU kiya hai"*

PAIN PREVENTS PAIN

"Ahimsa" is power but most peace lovers fail to recognize the faculties of might. The peace needs a laboratory environment that can best be created by the 'violence' chemical around. A perfect peace is unattainable but a true peace can be achieved. Now one needs to distinguish between the perfect peace which is UTOPIA and a real peace which involves the dominance of peace over violence. The might may pains apparently but allows a larger benefit. It is virtually impossible for governance to operate without the 'naked sword' but what might be the limits to which this can be used is a query?
Personally i believe that every government is successful if it closely follows the legal code. Not many poor countries realize the power of 'enforcing laws' which is indeed a tough business. It was rightly said that when the governments worry about the people, people no more worries about themselves. Now i may be talking strangely, absurdly, and contradictory but the underlying principle is clear, all clear and very important. With all respect and due regards to Gandhi ji and his adage of AHIMSA, my love for violence need not to be overlooked. The fear of pain is real pain and every criminal will atleast be psychological deterred before carrying out a crime to some extend this way and will help minimize and neutralize the horrors of their action. I love peace but the pragmatism seeks violence and states need violence to protect the weak bodies like me. PEACE LIVES LONG BY THE CAPSULE OF VIOLENCE.

This is to inform all that the situation in LAHORE has got WORSEN. The riots continues and the LAHORITES has completely lost the civic sense. MULLAH'S continue to exploit and the TENSION in the city dawns with each sunrise. I am sure that the hands behind these events have KHAKI gloves on them. The MULLAH tango is at its BEST when in the arms of MILITARY MISTRESS.
SHAME on all MONKS like me, for being the MUTE WITNESS of this ongoing RAPE.

GONE ARE THE DAYS OF LAMENTATION

The great Tagore once said: My tears are not worthless, they will become jewels of my future.

Honourable Chairperson and my dear friends: Today the agony of past and pains of gone years mar my soul, but i will wail no more. The desire of glorious future has been intensified and no more lusts for comfort will cool off this glowing inferno. The reality bites, this small span of life, the worldly mights and the adversary rigths all goes against. Then so comes the unending toil, giant seirras, seas of trouble and incessant sacrifice. But gone are the days of lamentaion.
Ladies and Gentlemen, its a way in the world. When the tears stop, revolution begins. I stand here neither to knit the image of optimism that defies reality, nor canvass the picture of cribs and pessimism. I merely dare to break the ice. Solutions of all troubles lie within. The legacy of our founders, men of honour and true warriors crisscross vividly. Their lesson is all clear: Destiny only manifests itself by talligating our own moves.
My friends! Gone are the days of lamentation when we were merely parasites on our own resources, when we quell each other in the name of our religion and cults and so ferociously we disgraced ourselves by our ill actions. Its all past that we all dwelled in past and ignorance. No more are the days for frozen fat bodies and no more is the time to stop and cry, if at all we are to exist. Our complains, troubles and problems are all obselete. Nepotism, corruption, sectarianism, intolerance and political instability are the old venoms. If the practical world unmatches the theoretical reasoning then it is purely our misery.
Honourable Chairperson! If the days of lamentaion are over then so has arrived the moment of truth. This instant in history will soon be gone. All of us did blunders, sins and shameful acts. Lets buy them all and dare to admit our mistakes. Let us all become functioning models and examples rather than loud sound boxes whose voice dismantles permanently. The battlefronts and warzones is set amidst us. Fuel the future by work, hardwork, true work, pure work, serious work and nothing but the work. Stand by the truth, shape your own principles tolerantly and if some of us are men of honor then nature knows how to assist. Our hollow guts has embarrassed us previously but now only the icons of resistence will ensure justice. Oh justice! so immense a missing link of our lives and our creations.
" No more laments, no more cries
no more wails, no more fails,
Gone are the days,
past is the case,
just ponder the new ways,
Ponder the new ways,
ponder the new ways. " I thank you all.



I said all this at F.C College Declamation Contest and lost.................but! i won the hearts.........

Jab Lahore 'JAL' raha tha.........(WHEN LAHORE WAS ON FIRE)

Yesterday, the Indo-Pak cricket match at Qaddafi Stadium Lahore made me so proud. Pakistan lost but there was a serene sense. At Rahat Mart, for the first time in my life i could see so many foreigners (Indians, Americans, British and Thai). Their presence made me so proud that finally this country may be safe. But! Today, the followers of 'Islam' in their 'love' for 'Prophet' spoilled the show and in a matter of 200 minutes they turned the 'Thandi Sadak' Mall Road into a Road to hell. They were their not only to protest. Following is the list of barbaric acts my fellow townmen have perpetarted.
1) Burning KFC
2) Putting McDonald's on fire
3) Storming Punjab Assembly and torching it
4) Breaking atleast two dozen cars
5) Firing relentlessly in air
6) Torching more than 50 motorbikes
7) Looting the best shops on Mall Road
8) Damaging severly the public property
9) Storming a bank
10) Attempt to put Fuel station on fire.
11) Breaking glasses of Hotels

MULLAH's SHAME ON YOU. Today's event has so ferociously extended my hatred for religious men. I hate them from the bottom of my heart. I will not listen even to the best things that comes out of them. I will do opposite to whatever they say. They are touts, pimps, callow men and a mar on the face of my RELIGION. A mullah is an EVIL, SLAVE OF United States, SELLS HIS SOUL FOR A PENNY, INTOLERANT, KILLER, SNAKE, one who sheds CROCODILE TEAR, LOOTER, CHARACTERLESS and man of VIOLENCE who only understands VIOLENCE.
SHAME ON YOU LAHORE, SHAME ON YOU FOR ALL WHAT YOU DID TODAY? For all other civilians involved in looting business, they were men of hollow characters, assuring us that atleast our 5 upcoming generations will remain handicap too. I am liberally pessimistic. The civic sense reached its abyss today and Valentine was turned into a holocaust


I reiterate my love for Prophet(PBUH)

Ba Khuda Deewana basho, Ba Muhammad(Pbuh) Hoshiar
Say your worse say about God like lunatics, but about Mohammad BEWARE.

Answering Effort

My personal tenet about the portrays/pictures/images of Holy Prophet is different from the great chunk of Muslim body. I believe that the holy images of sacred Muslim figures already exist. In fact it is believed that at least one picture of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) perhaps in Turkish museum (not confirm) is actually TRUE. The conventional catholic format Muslims, most Shias limitedly allow so, although not greater part of Muslims, traditionalists and Sunnis do not believe such way. My point is that the pictures of Hazrat Ali (as), Hazrat Imam Hassan (as), Hazrat Imam Hussein (as) and many other Shiite Imams along with picture of Hazrat Omer and Hazrat Usman can be found. Some though may be difficult to search but others are so easily available. The purpose of these pictures is simply REVERENCE as those of Jesus Christ, Holy Mary, and Buddha etc. However most Muslims believe that existence of these pictures will diffuse the notion of Perfect Omni potency of God because the Prophet’s respect is so immense that merely His image will make Muslims astray. It is insufficient argument, as although many Muslims may get astray, most will simply abhor it because of no precedents. I may be for the images but all other Muslims will not accept. I in each case respect them all.
Another important reason of non-acceptance of Prophet’s image may be that Muslims cannot imagine the Prophet pictorially and the fears (whether rational or irrational) of accuracy errors may derail the basics of their faith. I personally believe that Characterizing Prophet in movies/films is out of question simply because of His unmatched Character. What doesn’t get into me is that if the most celebrated mournful event of Karbala can be imagined in pictorial manner with images of all major personalities, it lefts little not to allow Prophet’s image. For me, the only major concern for Muslims is that it will insecure their faith and will sabotage the purity of their original belief system. I can readily anticipate that Muslims will never allow Prophet’s image to become part of their faith.
After the emotional part, lets analyse seriously.
I will try to answer the following questions in the days to come. The answers will be constructed subjectively, objectively and importantly perspectively. They may be brief, insufficient and inaccurate but certainly not to answer them cannot be afforded anymore.

1) Whether portrays/pictures/images of Holy Prophet (PBUH) is justified?
2) What is wrong with these Danish Pictures?
3) Why Muslims so strongly reacted to this issue?
4) Are there any boundaries to freedom of press?
5) Why Muhammad should be revered and not to be targeted?

Liberally CONSERVATIVE for the sake of my LOVE

“It hurts, it kills, I am infuriated, I am mad and I am fire up to the neck. Danish newspaper degraded my Ideal, my Love, and the only Forever Person who is Dearest of all to me. They seek freedom by humiliating the Man who is beloved to me more than my parents, my family, my friends, my children and this world. They want to celebrate freedom by portraying Him obnoxiously. In law each can claim damages for seditious, libel and slander reasons. I seek the heaviest penalties of all. If freedom means suffocating others for there believes, for their ideals, and testing them unnecessarily then so be it I seek bondage of this Man only, which they have dared to strip.
Don’t say bad words to the Crown, the King, and the Majesties else you will be persecuted and prosecuted. My Crown, my King has been debased and I seek persecution and prosecution. I am a Human first, then Pakistani and lastly also least a Muslim. But, the love of this Person comes first. His Honour is all to me but these demons demonised him. I hate them for hating my Charm, degrading what actually is revered by me. I am emotional of this outrageous act and the fumes of inferno will never extinguish.”
Just adhere to the following Persian adage:
‘BA KHUDA DEEWANA BASHO, BA MUHAMMAD (PBUH) HOSHIAR’
(Say anything to God like lunatics, but be careful, remain diligence what you say about Muhammad)

I BUY ALL THE ARGUMENTS

An American lady told me that US is an Imperialist force but they promote "progressive imperialism" unlike all the past forms of imperialism which were none but "exploitive imperialism".
I am rattle..........................There is an answer to every question in the world but unfortunately the 'PREBUTTLES' rarely solve our problems. In the interpretation of law we rely on everything which suits are interest and ultimately laws are not followed but just what suits the case. Statutes are stagnant but they are forwarded on the wheels provided by lawyers.
Now, i really believe on life after death. Resurrection will be nothing but just a world where all are questions will finally be answered PROPERLY.
America is Imperial, so was Great Britain but US is 'progressive imperialist'............Okay!
