Subject: [Malumaat] TAFAKKUR SERIES - X Part-2 In part 1 we had seen how the kite,once free of its burden, alights to rest on a tree branch, beneath which a wise sage is sitting and he has also been observing closely the spectacle in the sky. This is what he says: 'Oh what peace and happiness attend upon him who shakes off all worldly attractions and burdens and becomes free! What danger otherwise.' Thus saying he falls into deep contemplation. How very true. To 'let go' does not mean to forsake the world and go deep into the woods.It is more to do with our attitude towards materialism.If we make it a means to attend a noble end, it is beneficial but if we make it an 'end in itself' it will surely bring sorrow and misery. A sterling example of what I want to convey is reflected in the life of Moulana Ali (S.A.) and in the nasihat of Syedi Sadikali Saheb. 'hazar viga zameen kherta pote apni
kuvaat thi
But at the same time Moulana Ali (S.A.) admonishes worldly materialism with the words ' khank che tara khazana upar....' Detachment in human relationship does not mean an absence of caring. It means caring so much, that you suspend your own value judgements about others and relate to them from a position of love rather than attempting to control or judge them. The person who is detached in this sense is one who will avoid all the unnecessary sufferings that most people experience in their relationship. Try squeezing a handful of water and see how quickly it disappears. But relax and let your hand flow in the same water as long as you like. This is the principle of detachment and flowing. Allowing the things to flow naturally is the way of the universe. (Book: "You'll see it when you believe it" by Dr. Wayne W.Dyer) I highly recommend this book. Thus I finally come to the end of the series. I am deeply indebted to Mulla Murtuzabhai Rasheed, the owner of malumaat mailing list, for having posted the series on the mailing list, and thus helping me to fulfil my niyaat. All the Dawoodi Bohra portals are doing a singular service to the community.It is surely a dirty world out there on the world wide web, and these moderated lists and 'sites' are acting as 'guiding stars' and citadel to guide us and provide shelter from the murky world. The necessity and importance of this can be judged from the fact, that in a recent report on world wide internet surfing trends, it is estimated that as high as 70% traffic on the net is directed towards 'porno' sites, and as majority are teenagers and young adult, you can well imagine the negative impacts on their psyche and thinking. All Hamd is for Allah for His azeem ehsanats for having blessed us with a Hadi and Rehbar. When it comes to Hamd and Shukr
