It always strikes me, and it is very peculiar,
that when we see the image of indescribable and
unutterable desolation - of loneliness, of poverty and misery,
the end of all things, or their extreme - then rises in our mind the thought of God.
God is a child who amuses himself,
going from laughing to crying for no reason,
each day reinventing the world to the chagrin
if hair-splitters, pedants, and preachers,
who try to teach God his job as Creator.
Tasvir-e-Kainaat Ka Aks Hai ALLAH...
Dil Ko jo Jaga De Wo Ehsas Hai ALLAH...
Ae Bande-Momin Tera Dil kyu Udaas Hai,
Har pal har Lamha Tere Paas Hai *ALLAH*..
[ JA 786 ]
I could not say I believe. I know!
I have had the experience of being gripped
by something that is stronger than myself,
something that people call God.
Prayer is communication with the Divine.
It can be whispered or chanted or written or
expressed in the work you do.
However it is expressed, it is never in vain.
God has editing rights over our prayers.
He will... edit them, correct them,
bring them in line with His will and then hand them back to us to be resubmitted.
"A religious man is a person who holds
God and man in one thought at one time,
at all times, who suffers harm done to others,
whose greatest passion is compassion,
who is greatest strength is love and defiance of despair."
"One of the things that really interested me about
this script was the whole idea of personal demons
versus religious demons, and how differently things can be perceived."
There come times when I have nothing more to tell God.
If I were to continue to pray in words,
I would have to repeat what I have already said.
At such times it is wonderful to say to God,
May I be in Thy presence, Lord?
I have nothing more to say to Thee, but
do love to be in Thy presence."
