From racism, nationalism, to religious extreme to the popularity of the team sports and fan fights, the prejudice of all kind is still deeply entrenched and the root cause of our social and spiritual problems. The number of the people bogged down or drunk with the out of control sense of belonging is so great, that it makes me feel like, I am walking on the fresh snow. There are no foot prints or track for me to follow, there could be sink holes covered by the snow, but I have to keep walking without the fear of falling into the ditch. There is common knowledge and there is a knowledge written in between the lines as well, and then there is knowledge which needs to be understood.
Our brain is like an ocean and all kind of knowledge pours into the ocean from all directions like rivers, it is the data or junk mail or whatever you can call it. It is individual’s duty to pick and choose or mix and match to make his/her mortal life a journey of reciprocation, you take some and give some.
I feel that it is my reciprocation to speak my truth as I see it, it may not be commonly accepted but it makes sense to me. If any one disagree with me, which is highly possible, we can agree to disagree like civilized human beings. Our problem is that we can be passionate about our knowledge because of our out of control sense of belonging yet we learn everyday something new which is the proof that our knowledge is not complete. Just look around the history and even today how people kill each other just because they don’t agree with what they believe. Most of the time it is the sense of belonging related political ego and the rest of the time it is related with the territory and love loss.
Externally we fight over God yet internally we don’t really know God because of our incomplete knowledge so our fights are all related with the insecurity and control. A real belief in God should make the individual humble and helpful to the humanity as a whole, but the politically charged religious knowledge had twisted the spirituality in such a way that every religion says that they know God better than others and their followers depending on their passion really believe that they are right, so it is hard for the humanity to get together.
The individual is brain washed to the point that he/she is not only passionately believe in whatever the religion says but willing to kill and die for it. I am going to put a verse of a poetry by Baba Buley Shah. Some how I think that my thoughts come in alignment with him more often than with others. Since he writes in Punjabi I will write the words and then try to translate it. And I “Quote“
Rub rub karthay budhay ho gay mullah pundit saary
Rub thaa khoj khraa na labhya sajday kar kar haary.
Rub tay tary andar wastha vich Quraan ishaary
Buley Shah rub onhu milsy, jehra apaney naffus no maary. End quote.
“Quote”
“All the Mullah and pundit got old saying God’s name
No one found the real God even they spent all their life and got tired of bowing down.
God lives inside of you points the Qur’an, God is found by whom can control his worldly desires”. End Qoute.
Whether you consider yourself a Godly or Godless human being, as long as you consider yourself a human being and are alive, physically God exists through you so you personally have some responsibilities. First of all you have to learn about yourself as an individual, what and who do really think you are? I have written it before, when a baby is born he/she is just like a brand new computer with all the apps and perks. Then everybody around, starts to install the data, what is human data?
All traditional clothing, and yes turban or cross are the data, all religions, nationalism, race, gender, ways of worshiping and fasting are the data.
So if you think that you are the data or the computer, you are wrong. If you use your God given free will as an individual, you are above both. If you think that some how you become better than other because of your installed data, you are not looking at the things clearly, you don’t even look at your self deeply enough to understand yourself. Think about the God, Genetics, Carbon, Humanity, spirituality and practical prayers then and only then you will find your real self.
There is no Muslim state, Jewish or Christian states, there is no united states, or European union. We all pass the genetic test of being human beings, we all are able to use free will and come with the personally ingrained justice system and are able to over ride all of our installed data. That is why equal human rights is today’s new religion and justice system it is spreading like a wild fire throughout the world.
So whenever the politics of your sense of belonging confuses you, always remember that you are born with more than what you are lead to believe.
You are a born CEO your identity is human being and God himself is consisted of you, you are the thread of the fabric God is made of.
Your nationalism and religions are out to rob you of your humanity, which is your identity. It may seem overwhelming to stand up on your legs against the traditional knowledge, but it is because of your education which I call it brain washing by the installation of the political data of sense of belonging to confuse you, to make you believe that you are nothing as an individual, yet being in the whole scheme of life with God given free will, you are designed to stand and fly solo.
Your umbilical cord had been cut the day you were born, you still breath oxygen solo, which is not provided to you by your parents, not by your community, not by your nation, nor your religion, so think what and who you are. Sure your parents bring you in life but not without the will of God, and bringing you in and up is their reciprocation to God so as you grow up it is your duty to do the same. With the free will it is your duty to enjoy the journey as well. If you have to walk on the path, no one has walked get your confidence in the same entity which provided you the oxygen, remember you are not and can not be alive with your will, if that was the case human being would be immortal.
