Reality in our belief (The truth way of life) Preface

It was never my intention to make this site, but as a human being and BE as a part of this creature; I felt necessarily to share my finding a treasure relating to our life, belief, religion. Though, I began (again) to dictate various which, have been gathered together to form this volume (for you all my family).

Amongst these words it has came from all other greatest teachers of humanity and it is not only my words and is a hope though, there may be something, which will strike a chord in the hearth of those who are also working against humanity and Unity.

Humanity is the most important obligation (first of all) within our purpose of our life, which will culminate Unity (unconsciously). Though, my only desire is for YOU to tread your ways of attitude towards your own brothers and sisters. Though, we should all work towards unity and uniformity will rise itself afterward.

“Let no one think that I wish to claim any superiority, for the grace come from God alone though, this is a message and gift from the hearts of those people whom who have suffered in our existing world”.

Furthermore, because I know there may be some fellow-human being who (may), object to my writing and opinions; I wish to assure to the world people that no disrespect is intended; my desire is simply to present a picture of all the objective, subjective and logical philosophies; with what problems our world and our societies and nations are facing and These words are an element of the divine truth and is demanding you all with a great LOVE to follow.

During my travelling all over this world, I have seen many difficulties, which again my soul desire from this few pages is to reveal a message from my heart. For if such a thing are not written down; they will be lost and forgotten forever. This is borne out by the fact that, throughout the centuries, although we human being faced with many difficulties (from our nature catastrophes to men’s made one); we people on this earth have always managed to rise above them and produced geniuses all over our world; especially Mulana (from Persia), whose word of love wisdom the world has such great need of today.

 Dilution in our societies

In life everybody followed either the way of free choice of action, or the way of duty. For example we may take the child who sees the fire, wants to touch it, and dose so; this action will produce a certain disagreeable result, which teaches the child something.

This same teaching might also have came to the child as a warning from the parents, telling it that the result of its action would be painful. The child may thus refrain of its action because it accepts the warning of the parents before burning its hand.

Every child is born a pupil, one who is willing to learn and willing to believe. As a prophet Mohammad (salalah- va- salam) has said; every one is born on earth a believer, and it is only later that a person turns into an unbeliever.

If they had not been born a believer they would never have learned of their mother languages, for if someone had tried to teach them the words and they had refused to accept the teaching as true, they would never have learned the names and characteristics of being and things. A child is born with the tendency to believe and to learn what it is taught.

Religions are many and differ from each other, but only in form, like water that, is always the same element and formless; it is only takes the shape of the channel or vessel that holds it and that it uses for its accommodation. Though, the water changes its name to river, lake, sea, stream or pond; and it is the same with religion; the essential truth is one, but its aspects are different.

Those whom who fight (at the moment), about external forms will always continue to fight, but those whom who recognize the inner truth will not disagree and will though, be able to harmonize the people of races and all religion.

People and authorities may belong to the best religion in the world (as they are saying), they do not live it, perhaps, but merely belongs to it. They say that they are (call it by the communities), and they are sure that they are the best religion in the world; they do not live it, perhaps, but belong to it.

They just belong to it and they think that belonging to a certain accepted religion is all that is needed, owing to their passion and forced by their mission in life. They have made facilities for them selves, saying that by belonging to it, they will be saved on the Day of Judgment.

While the others, with all their good intention and hard work, will not be saved because they do not belong to that particular religion. These ideas are man-made, not God-made.

People in this world should know God is not the father of one sect, God is the father of the whole being, and we all are entitle to be called his children, whether worthy or unworthy.

In fact it is our own attitude towards God and truth, which can bring us closer to God, who is the ideal of every soul. And if this attitude is not developed in peoples mind, than whatever a person religion is he or she has failed to live by it. Therefore, what is important in our life (at the present time) is to try and live the religion to which one belongs, or that one esteem’s, or that one believes to be one’s religion.

We do not know what is in their heart. In outwardly they seems to be Jew, Christian, Muslim, Bahai or one of the other greatest one, no one can be the judge of their religion, for every soul has a religion particular to itself, and no one else is entitled to judge it. They may be a person in a very humble grab, with out any appearance of belief in God, or of piety or orthodoxy, and he may have a religion hidden in his heart, which not everybody can understand.

And there may be another person who is highly evolved, and yet his outward conduct, which alone manifests to people’s view, may appear to be altogether contrary to their own way of looking at things; and they may accuse him of being a materialist or an unbeliever, or some one who is far from God and truth. And yet we do not know; sometimes appearances are merely illusions; behind them there may be hidden the deepest religious devotion or the highest ideal, of which, you know very little.

Therefore, the best thing is to respect peoples belief, their idea, their way of looking at life, whatever it may be, even if it is quite different from their own way of looking at it. It is this spirits of tolerance which, when developed, will bring about the brotherhood which, are the essence of religion and the need of the present day.

To say you are different and I am different, your religion is different and my religion is different, your faith is different and my faith is different will not unite; it will only divide humanity; example are not necessarily and we can see this condition of diversity everywhere, we just have to open our own eyes and see the truth; the truth which is hidden in our own soul; in our own heart.

Those who, with the excuse of their great faith hurt the feelings of another and divide humanity which, has the same source and goal, abuse religion, no matter to what kind of religion they have.

The message at whatever period it come to the world, did not come just to a certain section of humanity; it not come to raise only some few people who perhaps accepted the faith. No, all these things came afterwards. The rain dose not falls in a certain land only; the sun dose not shine only upon a particular country. All that comes from God is for everyone, if we are worthy we deserve it; it is our reward; if we are unworthy, we are the more entitled to it. Verity, blessing is for every one; whatever be our faith or belief, belongs to us and is respectful.

The Holy Quran Surah 37- Al SAFFAT

''C. 197- Allah is one, the source and Centre of all affairs, and we must work in discipline, harmony, and unity to put down Evil. The Hereafter is sure, when personal responsibility will be enforced. For the true and sincere servants of Allah, there will be the highest Bliss, unmixed and everlasting: For those who defy Allah’s Law there will be the deepest enduring Misery. Which will men choose?''

People all over the world often confuse unity with uniformity. In reality it is the spirit of unity, which creates uniformity for the sake of its beauty, and the protection it gives. Throughout all ages both have existed; unity as the inner nature of every soul and the only purpose of life and uniformity the means to reach that goal, but often the means has obscured the purpose.

All through the ages the different religion, which have been given to men for his spiritual development with the sole idea of unity, have gradually become a kind of community or nationality. Many people who belong to a Masque or Church accept its dogmas, claim a certain name for their religion and consider all other children of God as separate; by doing so they lose the very seed of wisdom for whose development that religion has given.

This mistake has existed from the beginning, so that instead of touching the true spirit, people have lost reality seeking a falls objective. Religion differences have caused endless wars and disasters for the human race and the reason of this is that the spirit of unity has not been recognized, while undue regard has been paid to uniformity.

In the present age, when the sprit of religion is at its lowest ebb and only uniformity remains, division of classes and discord of all kinds spring up; one party, one class against another, the spirit of rivalry, jealousy, and destruction everywhere. The effect of this has been to keep man away from the consciousnesses of God. Very few indeed recognise him; all humanity is labouring under a great unrest; and people think they are progressing while all the time they only progress towards greater unrest.

There can never be true progress when people are divided; for when the races are divided then subdivisions come, and classes and parties also become divided. The same spirit of destruction is at work all the time everywhere, and even families become separated.

Unity seems to be rooted out from the heart of people. Examples are not necessarily; those who will notice it can see this state of humanity, this condition of life at the present age in everywhere; all over around our world.

When we seek a reason for this we find a right principle wrongly work out. Uniformity is not a fault, indeed it is a grate virtue; there is noting wrong, for instance, in a uniform desire to help, to give service in time of need; but when the God-idea is removed then it remains as a body without a soul, a corpse, and in the end it decays and causes foulness.

However alive and prosperous the world may seem, life belong only to the living, and when the living being is forgotten it is like light under a bushel. Some government and authorities become so absorb in the pursuit of money and power that they become intoxicated and regardless of the harmony and happiness of others, and even of the harmony of their own being; and then they cause destruction, for example if we have only to think of the wars humanity has gone through, and of this latest horror, catastrophe (11 September 2001), to see the truth. It all proves that progress is in the wrong direction, and that everywhere unity is lacking.

The scriptures given to the people of all different religion all have as their central truth the message of unity. If only we would recognize the inner voice, we would see that the different scripture all contain words spoken by one and the same voice.

Some hear the voice, others only hear the words, just as in nature some see only the branches and other the roots of the tree; but all these different scripture and ways of worship and of contemplation God are given for one purpose; the realization of unity.

In unity live the happiness and illumination of man, and his guidance in life. We all know unity by name, but most of us think of it as uniformity.

The Holy Quran with all its warnings expresses on one essential Sura the beige of God: that not only in the unseen, but in all that is seen there is one underlying current; and The Holy Bible says that we live and move and have our being in God.

Of all the millions of believers in God perhaps only one makes God a reality, and that is because the picture man makes of God is as limited as he is. The knowledge of God is beyond man’s reason. Man only perceives things he is capable of perceiving. He cannot raise his imagination above what he is used to, and he cannot reach beyond his imagination to where the being of God is.

The secret of God is hidden in the knowledge of man’s personality and unity. Man thinks, what can unity give me? Can it bring me happiness? What is there in it? We can get the answer by observing and studying life more closely. See what an atmosphere the harmony of ten people can create; the power of love and the influence created by ten people is much greater then created by one. Think than what would be the blessing for humanity if nation, races, and communities were united; no doubt uniformity can teach the lesson of unity, but its purpose must not be for worldly gain; then it is destructive.

All Wises in all ages have dived deep into life in order to spread unity. In the life of the world every man has some complaint to make, he lacks something, he is trouble by something; but this is only the external reason, the real truth is that he is not in unity with himself and his own soul, for when there is disharmony in ourselves how can we spread harmony? When mind and body are at war the soul wants something else, and soul and mind are pulled by the body or the body and mind by the soul; and so there is disharmony.

When a man is in harmony with himself, he is in harmony with all; he produces harmony and gives harmony to all, he gives it out all the time. This is a question that can be answered understanding our relationship with God. The innermost being of man is the real being of God; man is always linked with God. If he could only realize it, it is finding harmony in his own soul that he finds unity with God. This remind me of an old expiration saying in my country (Persia), whom who knows himself; knows his God.

All thought and meditation are taught with this purpose; to harmonies one’s innermost being with God, so that he in seeing, hearing, thinking through us and our being is a ray of his light; in that way we are even closer to God than the fishes are to the ocean in which they have their being. It is mostly interest in worldly thing that unites one man with another in order that they can make more profit.

How great would be this power if man would unite in true brotherhood! As long as this teaching is hidden under a bushel the methods of uniformity cannot be beneficial; they have no life, the world, in spite of any success it may seem to have today, is suffering from the wrong application of a right principle.

True life cannot be ours until unity is achieved. Today it is the work of the wise to promote the spirit of unity, in the knowledge and love of God to whom all devotion belongs. And we should live a natural life and realize the nature of God. The only studies which are worth accomplishing are those which lead to the realization of God, and of unity first with God and then with the self, and so with all. It is not necessary for us to be told that we have progressed; we ourselves will know when our heart goes forward; and by loving, forgiving and serving, our whole life becomes one single vision of the noble beauty of God.

The logical facts behind 0ur religions Thoughts

There are many prophecies and several beliefs concerning this subject all over the world, but what is needed is to understand what religion means. The present religion; the coming religion or the past religion, if for those who divide the truth that, is one into many.

In point of fact what was is and what is will be who else can come forth and say, “ I will give you new religion? There cannot be a new religion; one might as well say, “ I wish to teach you a new wisdom” there cannot be a new wisdom; wisdom is the same, which was and is and always will be.

One may ask what then is this variety of religion, which has engaged humanity for years in conflict with one another; so most of the wars and battles were fought in the cause of religion. This only shows the childish character of human nature. Religion which was given for unity, for harmony for brotherhood and charity; was used by childish human politician in order to fight years. And the same tendency of making war against one another, which began with religion, persisted in the time of materialism.

The same tendency turned into war between nation and people, as we can perceive this condition all over the world. Yet the differences and distinction between the different faiths and belief still remind everywhere and the prejudices and differences and bigotry between people still exist to a greater or lesser degree and now the difficulty to understand the question is “ what dose this show? It shows that the majority of human being has not understood the meaning of the true religion and therefore that mission which religion has to fulfil in connection with humanity still remains to be fulfilled.

According to the above point of view religion can be consider from five different points of view. The first point of view and aspect of religion that is known to us as certain faith, laws or teaching and when we think of the condition prevailing in the world today we see that the law is giving by the nation according to their tradition of experiences. Every nation is now responsible for the order and pace of its people.

The second aspect of religion is the masque or church and the form of the service. In this there are differences and there will always be differences; in fact it is a matter of temperament of tendency and also depends upon the customs and believes of the people who have inherited that tendency from their ancestors.

Some have in their house of prayer different forms and ceremonies, which help them to feel, elevated; other has a simple service since that appeals to them more. This prove no doubt the world is evolving towards uniformity, and just as now we see no very great difference between the forms of everything of different customs of greeting of dressing and many other things, so people too are coming to certain uniformity. At the same time when we look at it from a different point of view we will find that uniformity very often takes away the beauty of life.

In the countries which are civilized and advanced where the architecture and houses are all on the same plan, where all are dressed in the same way, one becomes so tired of them that one like to go to a different country and see houses which are different one from the other and people also.

The method of writing music and the form of notation is the same for the whole western world, but the distinction between the music of the French, Italians, German and Russians give a stimulus to the lover of music; and so it is with the distinction of all forms.

To want to make all people live alike and act alike means to turn all people into the same form and give them the same face and what would happen then? The world becomes very uninteresting. It would be like turning all the keys of the piano to the same note. It is not necessary to change the notes of the piano; what is necessary is to understand harmony, to know how to create harmony among the different note.

The third aspect of religion is the religious ideal, the God and master of religion, the God and master that a mind respects as its ideal. It is something, which cannot be discussed, something about which one cannot argue. The less it is spoken of the better it is. It is the result of the devotion of a sincere heart, which gives a birth to an ideal too secret to mention, an ideal, which cannot be compared or explained.

And when the follower of different religion come to this question and dispute over their ideals, the sacred ideal, which they have no know but have only heard about and wish to prove one better than the other, they merely waste time and they destroy that sacred opinion which can only be sealed in the heart. The religious ideal is the medium by which one rises towards perfection.

Whatever name a person gives to his ideal, that names is for him and is most sacred to him. But this does not mean that giving it a name limits the ideal. There is only one ideal; the divine ideal. Call this (by the communities) if we wish and let the same name known by different name, given to him by various communities.

For instance a person who has a great devotion, a great love and attachment for his or her friend, may speak about friendship in lofty words and say what a sacred thing it is to become friend; but than is another one who says, Oh, I know your friend and what he or she is; is no better than anybody else.

The true answer in such a case is given by Majnun in the story told by Nezami Ganjavi and ancients in my country Iran, when some said to Majnun, Leila your beloved is not so beautiful as you think, he said, my Leila must be seen with my eyes; if you wish to see how beautiful Leila is you must borrow my eyes, therefore if we wish to regard the object of devotion of whatever we come in contact to, we must borrow their heart. It is no use disputing over each historical tradition; they have often sprung from prejudice. Devotion is a matter of the heart, and is offered by the devoted.

The fourth aspect of religion is the idea of God. There will always be fights and discussions about this, as people are wont to say” the God of our family is one and the God of your family is another. In ancient times there was a dispute between the people who said that the God of Ben Israel was a special God; and so every community and every church made its God a special God.

If there is a special God, it is not only a special God of a community, but also a God of every individual. For man has to make his own God before he realizes the real God, but that God which man makes within himself becomes in the end the door by which he enters the shrine of his innermost being, the real God who is in the heart of man and then one begins to realize that God is not a God of a certain community or people, but that God is the God of the whole being.

Next we come to the aspect of religion which is not the law or the ceremony or the divine ideal or God, but which is not the law or these four, it is something living in the soul, in the mind and in the heart of man; its absence keeps man as dead, and its presence gives him life. If there is any religion it is this, it is life itself. When a person is thoughtful and considerate, when he fells his obligation toward his follow-man, towards his father and mother, towards his friend or in whatever relation he may stand to others, it is something living, it is like water which gives the sense of living to the soul.

It is this living soul, which really makes a person alive, and the person who is not conscious of this, this tenderness this sacredness of life may be alive but his soul is in the grave. One dose not needs to ask a man who is conscious of this what his religion or his belief is for he/she is living it; life itself is his religion and this is the true religion. The man conscious of honour, the man who has a sense of shame, a feeling of sincerity, whose sympathy and devotion are alive, that man is living, that man is religious.

This is the religion, which has been the religion of the past and will be the religion of the future. All religion thought by Mohammad (salalah-va-salam) or any other of the great ones was intended to awaken in man that sense which is awakened when religion is living. It dose not matter then into which building one goes to pray, for every moment of one’s life has become religion- not a religion in which is awakened when religion is lives.

What is this message? This is the message of digging out that water-like life, which has been buried by the impression of this selfish material life. And the question is,” what is digging? What dose one dig in oneself?”.

Is it not true, is it not said the scriptures that God is love?

Then where is God to be found? Is he to be found in the seventh heaven! Or is he to be found in the heart of man?

He is to be found in the heart of man, which is his shrine. But if this heart is buried; if it has lost that light, that life, that warmth; what dose this heart become? It become like a grave.

That living things in the heart is love, it may come forth as kindness as friendship, as sympathy, as tolerance, as forgiveness, but in whatever form this living water rises from the heart, it proves the heart to be divine spring. And when once this spring is open and is rising, then everything that a man dose in action, in word or in feeling is all religion; that man becomes truly religious.

If there is any new religion to come, it will be this religion, the religion of the heart.

After all the suffering and catastrophes (mans made one) that has been brought to humanity by the recent wars from all over our world, and as time passes you all will open your eyes and know and understand that true religion lies in opening the heart, in your senses and in living that religion which is the one religion.

At last it would be befitted to live you all with this prayer,

Dear Lord, Allah and God; I pray to you form my heart for helping my brothers and sisters; I beg you Lord, Allah and God to help them in order for them to live their life with their open hearts; give them abilities and the concept; they can perceive their own innermost; if there is anything though need to be change; help them to change it though they can find and live their life towards unity and peace.
