The Pearl or Water.

My hats off to the writer of this song, I am sure we all get some songs stuck in our mind sometime they just keep repeating. You just can’t shake them off and I just remember only  the verse of the song, so don’t know the author. I am quoting as it is in the Punjabi language and I would write as author unknown. I would quote in the original words and then try to translate it in English. Hope the author  can get satisfaction about his work, that someone is talking about him/her. “Quote”

Panwain khey thay Anmole panwain kodian ch tole,

Nanon hunjoo bun waggay tarri ishk kahani

jay toun samjain taan moti jay na samjain taan pani.

According to my understanding which may be different than the author, the translation would be “You can say its priceless, or you can compare it with the dirt cheap, Story of your love flows out of the eyes like tears. If you understand it, its a Pearl, if you don’t its  just water. “End quote” I believe we all are the cells of the body of God worth five bucks each one person at a time. Physical expression of God is the man kind and the God is our  spiritual expression. That means God lives through us. My way of proving this is that, if the man kind disappears no one can be there to understand God let alone believe in God.

My logical reality says if you ask an Alzheimer patient about the God, you may not get anywhere fast because the installed knowledge is wiped-out by the disease but the way I see it in this situation, God is there in the people whom are taking care of the patients. God is our understanding which is usually installed into us as we grow up, thus this knowledge is highly tainted and influenced by the politics of the sense of belonging.

When you are born into humanity as a human being you are, by nature a human being first. You start to get the labels of whatever you belong to, is secondary. For instance a boy or a girl or something in between, black, white, brown, yellow, or red or mix of some or all,  a Muslim, Christian, Pakistani, Canadian,  any other nationality a community or even a member of a sports team but first of all, A HUMAN BEING.

Let’s start from the beginning, a baby is born in a Muslim house hold but adopted by the Christian family, or a black baby is raised by a white family what is that kid’s identity? Would we change the status of being a human being, I don’t think so. But when it comes to the sense of belonging it is not an easy question.

When one loves the child, the whole community should respect it because in advanced or educated human societies the love should overpower our differences.

The reality is, even now a days still there is prejudice because of the powerful politics of sense of belonging. The truth is that if you are born as a human being you are a human being regardless of your color, gender, nation or religion.

All the knowledge about the differences are installed by the sense of belonging after you are born. An other example, if you are asked to make a fist, you would have no problem unless you are a victim of a Stroke, Alzheimer  or any disorder which robs you of your mantel capabilities but still leaves you as a living human being. No one should and can tell you, just because you are sick you are not a human being anymore. Anyway you can make a fist with no problem but that is a learnt action. You had a heck of time learning walking or speaking as you grew up but after practice everything becomes a second nature. My point is, that you have learnt all the skills, behaviors and belief systems from your belonging groups. With practice they have become a second nature to you, but they have the potential to make you something you are not.

A baby is like a brand new computer, the data is added after the birth, but baby comes with all systems running before learning the installed knowledge.   What makes the whole package with the potential? What makes an individual to pick and choose, mix and match the information and respond to the actions of the others?

Ever wonder beyond your installed knowledge, ever wonder looking through your eyes in the mirror who are you looking at? Are you just the computer with the data or you look at the person who lives in your body, who has a name and actually runs the computer.

Did you ever cross the lines to say hello to that person and I mean really, or you are stuck into the data and can’t look beyond. If you feel stuck you have taken the color of your belonging group and you need to acquire your own color which you were born with.

Well you are the one who runs the computer, the brain with everything in it, the body and the whole shebang. You are the one who is beyond the data who calls the shots and is a CEO.

You are the one who is connected to the real source spiritually and physically, but the data turns you into vulnerable, impressionable and insecure entity so you can be controlled.

If you feel that your wings have been clipped and you can’t fly solo, start to communicate with your inner bravest cat.

Do you want to be a CEO who is a human being first?  Then reach out to the one who lives inside of you, not the one who is created by your sense of belonging.

Take some responsibilities and start questioning the politics of the sense of belonging before taking part into the senseless killing of other human beings on the name of God or your belonging nation. It is like killing God one cell at a time, body still lives but with a lot of pain and suffering, I would call it, God has an autoimmune disorder and only human beings can fix it . You may question we can’t harm God but I can say to you, understand the difference between the Pearl and the water and look at God as a pearl not as just the water.

You will be rewarded from within. Take the responsibility to be a CEO then you will be able to see the harms we are causing to God.

Imagine if the whole humanity works together with the five bucks each would we have starvation, homelessness and poverty or bankruptcy at the national level like we do now. If we work together God would be able to take care of the sufferings of his body.

Our evolution is God’s evolution and we are all taking part in it because God is not some outside entity. That entity lives through the humanity. Every single cell is important and spouse to work for the body, but the politics of our sense of belonging inhibits that.

Our politics divides us to the point that we are working towards the day of destruction predicted in the holy books, yet we all individually have a say in our lives.

As a CEO we should be able to evolve to cross the lines of our religions and nationalities. We can create the peace to keep evolving to reach our potential what God had meant for the humanity. Why God who is blamed for not protecting or saving the people regardless of the prayers and sacrifice?

My understanding says God has done the Godly work by blessing the man with the free will and providing the oxygen to keep going. Now its up to us, how we reach our potential.

Can we keep going to become Godly humanity who can save lives from the storms, tsunamis and quakes and help the suffering part of the humanity, or destroy ourselves as predicted in the holy books.

My understanding of the God’s pain is that the individual who is entrapped in the politics of the sense of belonging can’t even spread his/her wings beyond the politics because of personal insecurities so the problem is in the individual not in the group. If we look at ourselves as an individual and remove our insecurities by believing in the connection to the real source, we can  cross the lines of sense of belonging to a group to belong to the humanity as a whole.

Right now we are Muslims, Christians, Jewish, Pakistani, Canadian, American, black, white, homosexual, male, female first then we are human beings. My grand desire is to reverse it, I want to see the desire in people to reverse this political trend. Only if we all can understand.

God is a Pearl if you can understand, other wise its just a water regardless of our prayers, fasting, sacrifice or going to mosques or churches.

An individual can benefit spiritually in his/her life by having a belief system of belonging directly to God. Potentially you can accumulate harms by living in a pond with the boundaries of religions and nationalism, just look around, our past and present is riddled with the wars.

Its worth repeating, if you belong to a gang, community, nation or a religion first, it is like living in a pond with the boundaries. You have to follow the rules and you would not be able to express your thoughts, regardless of the ability you brought along before the installation of your nationalism, religion or racial identity.

The ability to function independently is not installed. It is your nature and you can find it by joining the spiritual world of God which is like the space, internet or  humanity. Vast, without the boundaries, fearful to the non believers but completely secure for the believers.

You can cross the lines of death without the fear, live life without the fear and solve your physical, emotional and spiritual problems. You may live happier by removing fear related stress and related problems.

Picture yourself standing on your one foot in front and one in the back, front one is in the future and the back one is in the past. Literally and figuratively you are pissing on the present not only as an individual in living life, but in general if you live your life for the after life and piss on this one by killing and getting killed because of the past. Think again how much pain you are causing to God and yourself. It is all about the understanding God the way a CEO understands God beyond the boundaries of the politics of the sense of belonging.
