‘Allahu Akbar’ – The Superlative Without Parallels

‘Allahu Akbar’ – The Superlative Without Parallels

‘The religion of GOD is religionless. Anything other than this is a distraction’ says Baba Tajuddin.

A religion is a way of life. Life is a project that is meant to have direction and purpose.  However, the rules, rituals and conditions prescribed by the present day religions obstruct the way of life. A few days ago, a popular religious head tried capitalizing on the natural calamity in Nepal. He suggested conversion to his faith will end the suffering.  The essence and intent here are loveless and such statements expose the flaws in the religions made by man. These are in fact not religions, but personal beliefs.

Suffering is an indication that you are straying away from the path you are supposed to take. It is nature’s way of alarming you to correct yourself. Trying to find relief by resorting to beliefs served by man will only extend the barren spell. Instead find your life’s purpose and fall in line. Not only will you feel GOD through all your senses, your life will be void of pain and suffering.

‘Allahu Akbar’. GOD being the greatest is the only truth. HE is the same power source known as The Heavenly Father in English, Elohim in Hebrew, Bhagavān in Sanskrit and Allah in Arabic. When HE is the greatest and the only source of life, HIS religion can be the only truth. The rest are all distractions.

HE would love it if you would plant a tree instead of lighting a candle. Eat a pie and have a drink with your family and friends instead of wasting your resources on rituals. Realize who you really are and your troubles shall become a myth.

Nature Fights Back

Nature Fights Back

You, the child of GOD was made by love, with love, out of love, for love and to love. You are as precious and important as your neighbor in GOD’s ecosystem. HE put you here to fulfill a purpose and crafted everything around you to enable your progress. You are expected to further yourself in life by following a protocol that creates a congenial environment for you and the ones around you to live and thrive. The protocol is what you are made of, LOVE.

When you love GOD, you are committed to love all HIS creations. Any deviation from the natural order disturbs the harmony of HIS ecosystem. Such unruly behavior will not be tolerated for long. When a guest that you trust invades your home and destroys everything that you love, will you not fight back with everything you have? Beings such as you are meant only for love. When you take advantage of it and abuse it, love fights back. Every creation of GOD has the ability and capability to fight back in order to restore balance.

Abuse and misuse of love is not just a theory. Look around you, there are plenty of examples. You littered irresponsibly and polluted the environment. Epidemics surfaced and tore you apart. You brought the trees down without a remorse; nature gave you famine and punished you in ways that you least expected. You tried to alter the natural order by poisoning earth with chemical fertilizers and you got poisoned in return. You funded extremist ideologies that hurt humanity. Humanity fought back and the events led to an all-out war and your life got engulfed in terror.

All your actions have a consequence. You sow love to reap love. Love makes you respect yourself and everything around you. It reforms your intentions and helps you see the best in everything. When you see the best in everything, you employ them the right way. You love them, they love you back and the happiness multiplies.

Heaven, Hell & The Truth

Heaven, Hell & The Truth.

If I were to say that heaven and hell are a state of your present life, you may refuse to believe. This is quite natural as it was reiterated to you by many that heaven and hell await your arrival at the end of your life’s journey. Is this for real? Let’s find out.

Your body came to life when GOD put a part of HIS energy into it. This energy is called the soul and it possesses HIS wisdom, power and purity to serve a purpose. To assist your soul in its journey, HE appointed a servant called ‘the mind’. The mind’s duty was to obey the soul and execute its command.  As the human body aged through the materialistic realm, the mind matured and controlled the soul. It suppressed the soul beneath layers of manipulation and started making decisions for you. Your innocence was lost in this process.

Allowing your mind to suppress your soul, thereby encouraging its misdeeds is a sin. Sins jeopardise your purpose in life. Anything that comes between your soul and its purpose will be punished. Your mind dies with your body, so if your mind were to be punished for its misdeeds, it cannot happen after you die. Once you die, your freed soul returns to GOD. It is illogical to punish the soul for the misadventures of your mind.

Mind’s logic raises the fear of loss. This subsequently triggers a chain reaction that breeds stress, pain and trouble. The mind on its own, without the soul’s leadership is filled with infinite fear and pain. Mind’s mitigation plan only multiplies them.  A life filled with such practical unpleasantness is ‘Hell’.

Heaven, on the other hand is marketed by Godmen and the elderly as a luxurious afterlife resort. Irrespective of the merit of your earthly deeds, your soul will return to GOD and this is inevitable. When this is the truth, do you really need to be lured by a reason like ‘heaven’, afterlife? However, while on earth, allowing your soul to guide you is your choice. A decision such as this, will make the best use of all the resources GOD has provided you, including the mind.

When the mind obeys the soul, you make wise decisions and the consequences of these decisions fulfil your life’s purpose. Fulfilment bestows peace, satisfaction and harmony. In other words the salient characteristics of Heaven.

Heaven and Hell, you are already in one of them. They are the consequence of the choices you make and the path you take.

The Science Of Everything

The Science Of Everything

Failure plagued a man in every endeavor. He went to Baba Tajuddin, eloquently measured his love and wondered why he failed in spite of his devotion. Baba Tajuddin replied ‘My children never face defeat’.

Words cannot claim a feeling such as love. ‘Deeds’ communicate the true intent. Trust and Patience are like fire and air. They co-exist. These phenomena of nature support love and its cause. When in love, do you need a reason to trust the one you love? Can you love someone without trusting? These are very personal questions which you can answer yourself. Had this man loved Baba Tajuddin, he would have trusted every little resource GOD offered him. By using them efficiently and exercising some patience he would have succeeded.

GOD has blessed you for life. Hence do not seek HIS blessings or wait for a miracle. Your life itself is a miracle and you have been provided with everything to succeed. It is just that many don’t realize it. Instead you expect things to fall in place on their own.

Science is a great example for such a blessing. ‘Science is an approach that observes, discovers, experiments, invents and innovates by employing the resources available in the universe.’ You are empowered with abilities that can transform into capabilities. Science, the progeny of your capability, is a tool for progress. It aids you to advance yourself in order to meet life’s purpose.

Through the science of everything, you transform the resources available in GOD’s ecosystem into objects that better your life. GOD’s ecosystem is most popularly known as the universe. Your life’s journey begins and ends with two events, birth and death. Did you have control over how, when and where you were birthed? ‘How’ and ‘Where’ represent ‘Nature’ and ‘When’ represents Time. Do you have the power to architect the events that lead to your natural death? All these events are managed and controlled by HIM so that you do not have to struggle.

HE has setup everything for you, right in front of you. It is your responsibility to make the best use of them. Take a moment and think before rolling the dice in the name of LOVE again.

The True Atheist

The True Atheist

When someone says ‘I do not believe in GOD’, they directly support the existence of GOD. The modern day mouthpiece of atheists has made it very clear that Atheism is a lack of belief in GOD.

In reality, atheism should not be generalized because people have different reasons for not believing in GOD. Let’s analyze ‘disbelief’ through three well known characters. The Fox, The Flamboyant Intellectual and The Confused Lover.

The Fox

The fox is habituated to bite off more than what they could chew. Like every creation of GOD, the fox also had the ability to achieve greater things in life. However, the fox chose not to transform their ability into a capability. They wished for the sun and the moon without working a sweat.

GOD acknowledged the wishes, but withheld the grant as the wishes were meritless. To please GOD and to make HIM heed, the fox went on pilgrimages and showcased dedication through rituals. GOD understood the intent and HE remained unmoved.

The fox having splurged resources without returns was frustrated and depressed. Hence found comfort by blaming GOD and HIS ecosystem. Eventually the fox walked away from HIM, crying ‘sour grapes’.

The Flamboyant Intellectual

The flamboyant intellectual is a self-proclaimed knowledge collector. They gathered knowledge to pamper their ego. Little did they realize that what is known to their mind is a drop and the unknown is an ocean. They kept their ears closed and made it a routine to question everything around them. They fashionably challenged GOD’s existence, but called themselves a free spirit. They claimed to believe in ‘themselves’.

‘Self’ of ‘themselves’, Will of ‘freewill’, Spirit of ‘free spirit’, they all refer to the soul. The soul is a fragment of the Supreme Spirit, which is GOD. Practically, one cannot possibly love themselves or believe themselves by disputing belief in GOD or HIS existence. The theory ‘I believe in my free spirit, but not GOD’ is like loving and endorsing the peanut, but hating and rubbishing the ground nut.

The Confused Lover

The confused lover is in touch with their soul without realizing what it is. Despite their self-proclaimed ‘lack of belief’ in GOD, they love themselves and every creation of HIS. Like ‘belief’ even ‘disbelief’ has a substance.

The confused lover is a victim of the ‘Gods of religion’ and the rituals that tag along. They have been severely bruised by the concept that was prescribed to them. Their trust was abused and their love was betrayed. They had the capability to find GOD, but they were misled by elements such as the fox, the flamboyant intellectual and Godmen.

The disbelief of the confused lover is not driven by hate, but by disappointment in not finding love. Involuntarily this disappointment motivates them to wander in search of the truth. To be precise, they are in transition from the ‘Gods of Religion’ to ‘Religion of GOD’.

Of the three characters, the confused lover is a true atheist. True atheists have always been on GOD’s side. However their situation in life never allowed them to feel the truth or acknowledge it. They have been in love with GOD and following HIM without calling HIM GOD. They will realize GOD through all their senses, should they allow themselves to be channelized and guided.

Non-existent, is it GOD or Your Capability?

Non-existent, is it GOD or Your Capability?

‘There is no GOD!’ said a man in conversation with a Wiseman. ‘I do not see HIM, feel HIM, talk to HIM or hear HIM. I do not believe in HIS existence’.

‘Do you believe in the existence of New York City?’ asked the Wiseman.

‘Yes, I do’ replied the man.

‘Have you been to New York city to support your belief?’ asked the Wiseman.

‘No, I have not, but I have read about it, seen it in pictures, on television and even heard of it from people’ replied the man.

‘Is it not the same with GOD?’ asked the Wiseman, ’You have heard of HIM through people, seen HIM in pictures, scriptures and television’.

‘They are not the same’ replied the man. ‘I can go to New York once I save up some money for my tickets, touring expense and visa. It is not the same with GOD’.

‘You can see, feel, hear and talk to GOD from the comfort of your home. I can be your travel agent and guide you for free. Are you ready?’ asked the Wiseman.

‘I don’t know, I need time to think’ replied the man.

‘How about this, I will sponsor your New York travel. Will you go?’ asked the Wiseman.

‘Sure, why not’ readily replied the man.

This is not a story knitted to teach you a moral, but a real life conversation. Questions challenging GOD’s existence are asked a lot. If you think questioning is your right, then finding an answer is your duty. GOD like New York City, exists. Finding funds to visit New York City is a capability. So is the journey to GOD. You need to be capable. Can you submit yourself to HIM? Dedicate yourself for HIS cause? Trust HIM without a reason and follow HIM without a question? If you do not have the capability, do you have it in you to make yourself capable? Challenging HIS existence to mask your incompetency isn’t noble.

You cannot fill a cup that is already full. Empty your cup, HE is waiting.

Wishes & Misses

Wishes & Misses

What good will a handful of peanuts do to a person with no teeth? To enjoy peanuts for life, you need good teeth. Now, if you were to place a wish in front of GOD, what will you wish for? Peanuts or Teeth?

Wishing is your prerogative but granting or denying is HIS choice. Wishes that are backed by efforts and determination are granted. We term this benevolence as ‘blessing’. The wishes that hold no merit will be ignored. Ignored wishes make people gang up against GOD and question HIS existence. Following are some of the most common statements,

  • I work so hard, but don’t earn enough money to meet my financial commitments. Why isn’t HE helping me?
  • I am doing all the right things, but my career is stagnant. Why isn’t HE blessing me with a promotion?
  • My parent is suffering from an illness, why isn’t HE doing something?
  • Why isn’t HE stopping wars?

Every action has a consequence. An unfavorable consequence is a trouble. Your troubles are nothing but your transformed deeds and you are solely responsible for them. Troubles arise to correct you and direct you in the right direction. The ones that are not ready to stomach this fact call it a curse.

‘Capability’ is a ‘realized ability’. ‘Ability’ on its own is ‘unrealized potential’. You have the ability to achieve greater things in life, but if your ability is not transformed into a meaningful capability, your wishes will not be granted. The job that you wished for is given to you based on this very capability and the money that you could not make follows the same merit.

Baba Tajuddin says, ‘What is given to you is based on your capability to handle it”.

Being GOD’s child does not automatically make you deserving. You have to find an uncontrollable emotion that gets the best out of you. Oxford dictionary calls it passion. It is this very emotion that makes you fearless of the unknown and drives you to prioritize your goals ahead of materialistic comforts. Passion is the only investment required to succeed.

Learning is not a one-time activity, but a lifelong process. There is always something left to be desired and complacency is a wish-killer. Success is not measured by money but by happiness. Wealth and health are things that aid it.

The next time, before wishing for a better life or wealth, ensure that you possess what it takes to deserve it. Do not start a war if you do not have the capability to stop it. Do not burden yourself with loans if you do not have the capability to earn more. Do not abuse your body, if you do not have the capability to heal it.

Now, you have two choices, you can crib forever or make yourself capable by finding and following your passion. Decide before you wither. The sooner the better.

What is a Sin?

What is a Sin?

An action that defies virtue is a sin. GOD, the lover and protector does not spare the rod when someone misplaces HIS trust. Can the GOD that loves you fiercely, hate you? Yes. HE hates the sinister you by continuing to love you, but leaves your life completely under your control. To be precise, you will be ignored, but HIS love will not change.

GOD is love. This equation is directly proportional to all the virtues in HIS ecosystem. Any deed that challenges these virtues, literally summons GOD for a duel. Those who seek GOD, find their life’s purpose. These lovers of GOD will be offered support and protection from every dimension to fulfill their purpose.

Let’s look at sin from a familiar angle, the corporate world. An employer-employee relationship is a great example. An employee who is recognized as a star performer year after year by the employer celebrates his performance and gives himself the credit. He allows success to fuel his pride and errs by taking things for granted. At this juncture, when the employer intervenes and does a reality check on his performance, he believes that the employer is plotting against him. He is happy to give himself the credit for his victories, but is not ready to own his failures. Instead blames the employer and holds him responsible.

Let’s not worry about who is correct here. Every employer is someone’s employee at the end of the day. The important element here is the sin. Pride that hinders progress is against the virtues of GOD. Like the employee, the employer is also a creation of GOD, deployed to fulfill a purpose. He is also given the same love, protection and support that the employee enjoys. This is the balance in which these two creations live and operate to fulfill their respective purpose. Should this balance be hindered by any one of them, GOD intervenes and corrects them. It is human to err, but it is evil to repeat the same mistake. In this corporate scenario, if this employee’s deed, in anyway jeopardizes the interests of the employer, the former would be given a chance to change his ways. In spite of this, if he resorts to manipulation, GOD will continue to protect the employer but will ignore the manipulator and allow him to march to his peril.

The world works for you and with you to help you fulfill your life’s purpose. The ones that complain about the world working against them should question their commitment to the world and their life’s purpose first. GOD ignores the manipulator by giving him complete control of his life.

The Art of Living

The Art of Living

Answer to the question ‘Who am I?’ is enlightenment. When you know who you are, you would know what is expected out of you. When you know what is expected out of you, you would find a way to meet the expectation. The average of YOU, The Expectation and Your Delivery is your life’s purpose.

Shell is the mind and soul is the nutritious walnut. To enjoy the walnut, you have to crack open the shell. The mind by all practical means is as useless as the shell. To crack it you need to acknowledge the fact that its meaningless pride has no purpose. Losing your mind is a profitable loss. You lose your mind to find something invaluable called YOU. The real YOU is your soul and your soul is nothing but a fragment of GOD.

Just by losing your mind, you will find yourself, your purpose and most importantly the best support system of all, GOD. There is absolutely nothing in this universe that can defeat this team. No planet, ritual, mantra or tantra will dare to cross your path.

You arrived alone into this world and there is a reason behind it. GOD expects you to manage yourself by finding self. The self being your soul. Nobody taught you to walk because it cannot be taught. So is spirituality, it is a walk that cannot be taught. You don’t need to roam in a jungle and shed your clothes. The truth that you seek is not in the jungle, but within you. Love is not a hobby, hence finding your life’s purpose should merge with your routine. I found mine on a comfortable couch clothed in T-Shirt and shorts. You may find yours behind an office desk or at a coffee shop, you never know.

Happiness, Trust, Love are ingrained into every creation of HIS. HE, the creator equipped HIS ecosystem with an abundance of everything to support HIS children in fulfilling their life’s purpose. No one has the right to package and sell them for a price. The enlightened ones will not engage in such a business. The next time, you come across someone that teaches ‘how to live’ for a price, see through them.

The smile that begins a legacy

The smile that begins a legacy

You left GOD’s home temporarily to fulfill a purpose. HE put you in a new home, to be particular, your body. The unfamiliarity was confusing and overwhelming. You also terribly missed your real home, hence you cried “Kooooohahaaaaam…..Kooooohahaaaaam’ (Who am I? Where am I?).

You arrived in tears of confusion and longing. But how is your departure going to be? Will you smile or cry? The answer to this question lies in your life’s journey. You can choose between two travel operators, one is your mind and the other is your soul.

The journey steered by the mind has an itinerary that promises comfort and luxury. It takes you through the finest of the materialistic realm, inspires you with an idea of wealth, encourages you with polygamy and polyandry, allows you to wage holy wars and assures you a top berth in heaven. Enticing isn’t it? Wealth, Sex, Blood and Paradise. Wait a minute, what happened to ‘life’s purpose’? Well, there is no such thing called ‘life’s purpose’ in mind’s itinerary. This deal is all about having fun and living life king size. Mind you, a promise is not a guarantee.

On the other hand, Captain Soul has a contrasting journey in the offering. Soul does not promise a thing, leave alone ‘life’s purpose’. It guides you forward based on trust. As your journey furthers, the trust invested by you fetches support from every dimension in the form of unconditional love, even without you asking for it. In this instance love stops being just a word and becomes you. All your actions will translate into meaningful contributions and so goes the journey laced with satisfaction and fulfillment.

The realized ones, having fulfilled their life’s purpose are void of confusion and uncertainty. They are blessed with the privilege to leave the world of man on their own terms and they depart smiling. Here, with death, begins a legacy of love and celebration.

Many mind tourists regret living life a particular way. Unrealized wishes and unanswered questions rise and dominate them towards the end. They are not ready to pack up yet, but their new homes have withered and they have no choice but to leave the way they arrived, crying “Kooooohahaaaam… Kooooohahaaaam” (Who am I?).
