This Mystery of Life…
Sufi Rehman Muhaiyaddeen
Man is a mystery – from where he has arrived and what his destiny is
after life? This world is a mystery – how this world has evolved - from
a burning ball of fire to the host of unlimited kinds of species and countless
kinds of life.
Life is a mystery – how the living organisms take birth as independent systems, get peak of growth and performance and gradually disseminate into death by a process of decay.
Life is a pilgrimage to the destiny
of Allah. Life is a voyage to the other shore of fearlessness and immortality.
In this regard life is a battle, exam and a continuous test. We have to fight
with the mind and its diversions. We have to control the worldly desires and
then attain a state of constant wisdom and consciousness. The same way take
us to the state of Super-consciousness or self realization.
Sufis think that Life is a fragrant flower of which love is the honey. Cultivate
this love and drink the honey in abundance. Life is a rhythm. Life is a continuous
poem. Life is a commentary on the Holy Scriptures.
Death is not separate from life but simply an aspect of life. Death is the gateway to the higher segments of life. So there is nothing to be afraid of death rather we have to make the best preparations for this very important part pf life. We can attain the highest standards of immortal life by leading a life full of conscious. Death is the higher segment of the worldly life. After death we experience the everlasting bliss and immortality – based upon the good and righteous actions in the worldly life.
This world is a place of accidents, fractures, dislocation. So let us be careful. Let us join the way of immortality, so that there will be no accidents.
How to join the way of immortality? To travel on the track of immortality we should avoid sins and do peaceful deeds.
How to avoid sins? Be impartial, just and honest with rest of the people and objects of the Nature. Don’t fragment people and objects in the categories of likes and dislikes.
How to be just and honest with others? Do not have egoism and the sense of self superiority.
How to give up egoism? Abandon non-discrimination.
How to give up non-discrimination? Get rid of ignorance. Ignorance is the first cause for the chain of sorrows.
How to get rid of ignorance? Attain knowledge of the self – which brings us to the level of Super Consciousness.
The first milestone of the journey to Eternal Deliverance is attaining the knowledge of self. Everybody has got an inner kit which has the answers of most of the mysteries in life. The prime objective of everyone is firstly to get the sense of that kit and then reaching to the password to open that kit.
Once you open the kit by applying the right password then you will find the way to lead a healthy, comfortable and spiritual life. Such a process brings about the beauties of self-restraint, cultivation of virtues, concentration and meditation to become more and more purified. In this life there will be no egoism, no discrimination, no ignorance, no sin, no sorrow, no likes and dislikes and no fear.
You will merge yourself in everlasting Bliss of being within the heart of the Nature. Just as rivers join the ocean, so also the individual soul will merge up in the everlasting energies of the universe. Just as camphor melts in the fire and becomes identical with fire, even so our mind melts in Silence to get the purifying form. If we keep on concentrating the highest levels of consciousness the process can take us to the levels of identification, illumination and salvation. Then there will be neither mind nor body.
That is the goal behind our presence on the planet Earth. That is the answer of the biggest mystery of life. That is the way to be One with rest of the univers.
