Peace be upon you, Traveler.
It has been a while. Two years, give or take.
I am here through this medium, speaking to all the caravans of knowledge out there. I believe each and every one of us is a seeker of knowledge, be it philosophy, be it mathematics. We are all seeking for knowledge. Knowledge is the key to unlock the doors of doubt that are veiling our conviction, our salvation.
Life moves silently swift, It makes you think that age is just a number. It makes you think that life waits. Life is a possible dream. Life is an achievement that will soon come.
Truth be told,
The shadows of doubt, clouding our clear vision of sane judgment, the whispers that you have been hearing full of sublimity made life deceptive. Made life an abomination. Distraction after distraction, consuming you of precious time. Have us forgotten that life does not belong to us. We forget to live life with values. With the proposition that life is not about pleasing yourself. That is not our primordial cause. As we exist, life exists. We have to go about living, I know that. But the axis still stood. The fact that life is leased, that this is not our true destination and most importantly we are just a traveler having a test of faith.
Have we forgotten that life, in its entirety, a game? Its a game of choices. It is a game with a purpose. Winning and losing- these are the end results. Winning sounds appealing but winning is not easy. Losing is not easy as well. Sit down and listen. Very closely. All of us regardless of our ideologies knows and can conceive the idea that the inevitable process of death will come. Black and tasteless. I do believe that death will come and do believe in the precepts that when I die, I will see my Lord and I can tell Him, “I have always wanted to be with you, in my Lord ‘s eternal embrace”. I believe in that.
I believe that life is a narrow passage that is enveloped in darkness but you can definitely see the light at the end of it. Reaching the opening or the light now is a question of Credence. Have all of us here have forgotten that we made a pact with God?
A divine covenant was established. Sworn by all of us. In our pure form, we were sent down to be tried with the dazzle of the world. Bitter life, bitter is what we should expect. Often time, we will rise and be greater than all the misfortunes in the world.
Can you imagine, you have nothing yet you feel like you have everything and vice versa. Nothing is everything and everything is nothing. Look through the window once in a while. Look, just look at everything that is unfolding, listen to the wind that blows the whispers of your Beloved. We have abandoned our consciousness. We have abandoned our true vision. I admit I am crazy of God. I am erratic, I am lost in God. I am lost, being a student of His knowledge.
In the words of Imam Junayd Al-Baghdadi;
“The journey from this world to the next (to give up worldly things for spiritual things) is easy for the believer. The journey from the creatures to the Creator is hard. The journey from the self to God is very hard. And to be able to abide in God is harder still.”
The moon is enigmatic. I am under a spell every time I looked at it. It reminds me of hope. Most of the time, it reminds me of a symbol of longingness and zealousness.
I am awake. My dreams are powerful. I can’t afford to tell you more of it. But let set that aside for a moment. I am present now, conscious of my being and surroundings. I can hear the wall speaking. Reality is often better than dreams.
I’m holding my child’s tiny hand with mine, my wife on the other. Telling each other, no matter what befalls us, salvation is near. God is with us no matter how cold the world is, no matter how hostile this place has been.
Move, don’t stop moving, hasten up in the “elusive” search of the Light. Delusion should not be conceived as light. However, not to forget disillusionment can also be a part of the process to reach the Light.
I know I am a prisoner of the past even the present too, but hear me once more; imagine a world where you look at each other only as humans, where the cloak of nationhood, racial standings, and social class withered and became nonexistent. We look at the eyes of each other only to see love?. How does it feel to be in the ecstasy of this realizable utopia? Reality, I mean.
A new dawn is here, we can all see the purple horizon, only not being able to comprehend what to heed. The beginning of the end is upon us.
The Kingdom of God is upon us. The Placater had long left us, but what he preached stood the test of time.
Much Love,
IJ
