FAMILY OF THE HEART SEMINAR ON SEPT. 04, 2005

"CAN WE SAY GOODBYE TO GOD?"

 

"Family of Searchers/students/heart"

First of all my thinking are that we are getting  away from topic (especially from its internal situation) and we are getting into the topic whether God is present or not and are trying to understand it through references. Especially Mahatma Budd is referenced a lot and obviously our HOLY QURAN. Believers are taking shelter of QURAN and non-believers or semi believers are quoting 'Mahatma Budd' I agree with believers in GOD that they have valid example of 'Wahdaniat and existence of KHUDA' by giving example of Quraan. But I want to ask that When Mahatma Budd even denied God. Again the topic was very straight forward, "Should we say good bye to God".
 

This question is valid logically when you believe in the presence of GOD. Otherwise you can not or should not touch the topic to explain the out of topic area that whether God is there or not in this boundary. But even if we are slipping through the topic, out of its heat or out of our heat we must try to understand and read the searchers of past. Especially Mahatma Budd is victim of all of you guys in many ways (especially when you want to be 'danishwar') I want to say that this is not right path to prove your point of view, because the message of Budda is not (totally/basically) understood.

Here is the key to his philosophy and please try to understand and do not say he denied God. His student (like always) asked him, If there is God? He said I do not know. His student asked 'That means He is not there? Mahatma said "I do not know if He is not there.

I strongly believe in 'Talash' and only someone can find truth if balance can be acquired in Talash. Balance is my outcome of whole lot 'Tapassiya" and life and it attracts me, calls me.
I think what ever exists is exists because of balance tolerance and non-violence. And we can not even walk because when we walk our second foot is always in air and if we do not know how to balance with force of gravity we can not step up for next move.
 
I will try to define and then elaborate my 'Theory of balance and tolerance' at other time.

Right now I want to give one example to advocate my theory of BALANCE out of Mahatma Budd's search for truth. Here it is When Mahatma Budd stopped eating and started losing hid body and obviously an existence,  a limit reached where forces of balance came into action(existence)and he figured out that if he denied life he will deny all aspects of life so he was told or he himself told to him or something happened or even death talked to him  and he woke up and got Nirvana (as is said) and he said 'yes' to presence of life and  developed a new dimension of impartial insight to everything and built his philosophy.


But no one should say he denied God or he says God is not person but a presence (Because if you believe in a presence then you have to believe in source just like Sunlight which is coming from SUN because light has
always a source so a presence does a presenter).
 
Mahatma Budh's message is same as Bulleh Shah who says

Bulea ki janan men kon

when some one does not know who he himself is how can he says about presence/existence of other forces. Our goal is first to find out who we are and try to know brain totally/our nature/reactions and try to be an active participant to even in elimination of in-justice Please try to achieve/ establish a state of balance in this search to communicate with others and yourselves,
do not get please angry as balance will lose its identity. 

Existentialism is a very important philosophy after Buddhism which is dependent on questions like being and nothingness especially when it is explained by 'Jean Paul Sartre'.
But without establishing state of balance between being and nothing and between being and super-being we can not adjust our thinking to even appear.
Please wait for my so-called 'Theory of balance' as it needs a lot to even define it. But that needs another century

bulea ki jana men kon

Yours
