Letter to Friends.. so Casual....

Dear .....,

Hope things are fine with you.
And this hope is that moves any one forward.

Just now I got your contact through one of our friends,
As every time, there will come someone and something
Through whom and which
One can reach his destination.

But, still, one has to walk by himself
On his own leg, with his own spirit.

So, I too to Our GREAT Suman.
The very playful and sportive.
A Kannurian, who really lived
The train he was coming in
To the Law College in Kozhikode.

And our old Usman,
(with a shuffling of only one letter)
Who, once, if I am right, one night,
Came to the mosque
Near Law College to rest.
Hope you will remember this fun too.

I also remember your sister's marriage
And our participation in it.
If I am right, she was married to a Dutch (at least a westerner).

Really happy to be able in touch with you.
Than touching outwardly, hope,
Touching your soul will be more sweeter.

Hope you will be responding to this call.
The way you breath in and out
To cause and ensure the body of this relationship
Live and be alive

with regards,

********************

Dear .......,
Sorry to have no words
To wish you for your birth day,
Especially since, I feel,
No one's birth is his own making or choosing
With his own knowledge and intention.

I did not have till date
Such a habit of celebrating mine
Or wishing others for their birthday.

And, as for me, if at all,
Each day, each hour, each minute and each second
Is a new birth day, birth hour, birth minute and birth second.
And we all get born and dead
Every second and minute as well.

Each day more, it talks to us about
The day lost/gone/dead.
The years we take pride as we lived
Are the years gone and dead.
Than a gain
It is a loss to each one’s life's account.
Looking at back years,
Those are years dead
For which one has to be sad about,
Mostly , than happy.


Rather than we living the life
Or flowing in the life;
Life is living and flowing
In and through us
In different forms, names and shapes,
Be it Raheem or Noufal.

And as for truth, to say,
Life has no age.
Life is God with no age limit.

So, wish you here
To let you know
That the life in you is
Without age
And any birth-date and day.
It continues, continues
And continues…..

Be it in the form name and shape
Of mine or yours....


With kind regards and wishes

The very ill-fate of humans.

Oh God,
My soul and my form.
You made me to hear
Only from far
Never from near.
The very ill-fate of humans.

Oh God,
Now I too happen to talk;
And no one near
Seems to hear.
True, I shouldn’t talk.
Talks will just pass by
And only the silence
Will remain and stay in.

Only the talks of skull,
From the graveyards,
Are heard to me and to all.

It is past’s covering over the present
Denying the present
And a look for its growth
Into the straight path of future.

Oh God,
I saw the oceans,
While I was really thirsty.

Helpless to say
The water in them
Couldn’t taste well for me

Oh God
You and truth are
The same way.
Ocean and its water.
Never tasting to the tongue
Mine or any one.


Inherent limitations are ours.
Never breaking.
And never tasting.

I rest my head on truth and God, My pillows

God and truth are two names
That I am made to give
To my helplessness.

Two different names
To one and same
Helplessness.

Than these two names
Nothing I could see
To justify
My bone breaking
Helplessness.

I don’t have
Any philosophy or logic either
To let them stand alone.

They are just two pillow covers
To my hollow helplessness inside.

I make two pillows out of them
And rest my heavy, hollow head
Over the same.

Truly
I rest my head
Over the truth and God,
My pillows.

Please don’t feel wrong about me.

Nothing to be disliked.

All our trials and efforts
May not necessarily find clear-cut result.

And usually more effort and energy is used
For the unsuccessful trials;
Not for successful ones.

However, don't make it an excuse for not trying.
Things can happen from and to any direction.
We don't know which seed will sprout
And where the seed will sprout.


**************

Nothing to be disliked.
Looking from different corners
All are right
Or everything is right

One shouldn’t stick to any one in UAE
To take the same root of him in Kuwait
To reach India.

Roots/routs can be different
With the destination same and different.

If this is understood
People would become
More tolerant and accommodative.

The same soil can give us
Different tastes and colors

So, all from the same and to the same.

Adamancy and quarrels, due to the adamancy,
Are because of our ignorance.

***************

No one makes any wrong statement.
He is and was only right.
Hence one has never to feel
The other to withdraw any of his comments.

Rather it would be really beautiful
To see such others’ comments.

And that is the beauty of life too.



But, one can think, as it is not advisable too,
Not to pursue and go after
Material earnings and burnings
Even after 40s.

Burning materially
One will earn only the ash of the burnt Life

God, what are you doing?

I asked him
“God, what are you doing?”

He answered
“What you are doing”

“The same…?”

“The same.”

I am celebrating now.
God too.

I am helpless in becoming where God is

I am where God is.
I tried to send him out.
But I could know that
He can't be sent out...

Neither can he send me out too.
Especially as nothing can be out of him.

I am helpless
In becoming where God is....
Sorry if you feel wrong....

Dear all ...
Sorry is the only word I can pronounce.

Really sorry.

Sorry if any one of you is hurt
Even though hurting any was not my plan at all.

Sorry to have spelt the words.

But really happy to be able to hear you all too....

And really appreciate you all for all your thoughts and points...

Nothing from you
I could consider as out of context and need.

Everything put forward by you all
Was really valuable
Representing each one's concerns and sincerity.

Still, as for me,
I feel sorry for all the words spelt from my side,
Knowing that I will be held responsible
To make them orphans
And for not ensuring some shelter and food for them.

Really sorry and I ask all your pardon and forgiveness
And never will I ask you
To be responsible to give food and shelter to such words.

***********

I can see your sincere attempt.
But no help.
People are decided
No to be serious,
Except for kochu varthamaanam...
Good it is for them too.
Nothing and no one to be blamed....
Especailly
If God himself is at play.....

With kind regards and love.

Nothing, But God as nothing

Dear all…..

One can read and understand.
One can read and not understand as well.
Both are equally right.
Both are unto their level.
None to be blamed.

If a person cannot like the taste
Of a particular food or fruit or subject or vision
It is his choice.
No one should be compelled or forced or blamed.

But,
Understanding may not,
And mostly will not,
Mean accepting it.

But if one cannot accept anything,
Which he could understand,
He should not say he could not understand.

Rather,
He can say he cannot accept for certain reasons,
For his own preconceived notions,
For his faith and belief.

He can consider, like he has,
Others also have their own….

It is not easy to understand.
It is agreed and any one has to agree.

Through out the history
There were
The defenders of what they believe.
(Be Abu Jahil (father of ignorant) or Pilatholse)

But, mostly, what happens is
They misunderstand.

And misunderstanding is equal to misconceiving.

Misconceiving
Will put both the mother and child
In danger.

That is why it is said
Not to say the things where it is not fit,
Or where it will be misconceived.

This could be the reason
Old India said not to say Veda in front of Shudras.
This was practiced afterwards wrongly….

And this could be the reason
Why Abu Huraira also was beaten on his face
Once by Omar (if true) for his saying in public
“Who ever say “There is no God, But God”
They enter Paradise”.

(And I am sure too that
One is in Paradise,
If and when really say
“There is no God, But God”
Nothing, but nothing as God....?)


To put some medicine, meant not for children,
In children’s reach is wrong (relatively).
It will kill the children.

And even if we put somewhere
Away from children’s reach,
But children come by themselves and take it
We will beat and punish such children
(Shudras in this case).
That is the punishment for their own welfare.

Hope
I too am not doing wrong (relatively)
Without knowing to whom I am talking all these

******************* *****************


At hearing
One knock at your door
You can decide,
Whether you really want to open
Or to put one more lock to your door.

If you really open your door,
Especially at both ends,
There doesn’t arise the case of debate.

You will just learn
In such a way
That nothing will be stuck in you,
But all will just pass by and through you
Giving you a breeze of comfort and solace.

If you want not to open the door
And, rather,
Want to strengthen your locking system
By putting one more lock,
(This happens mostly with believers of any faith blindly),
And if the other one continues
With his knocking at your doors,
The debate comes up
Creating more of noise pollution
(From the point of view of
The closed one and knocking one).

And you and the knocker
Will be surely be intolerant
And will happen to be violent too,
If at all the door happens to be open
Because of such a heavy knock or noise,
Towards each other…..

When you are closed
You can’t be other than intolerant and violent
To any knock and call
Be it for your good or bad
Be it from you friend or enemy.

Because you just happen to feel insecure
Towards any knock and call from outside
For your fear of getting opened,
To the infinity and absolute,
To get you lost of your presently availed
Finite and relative Security
Of /for being closed in a system or society or a group, faith
Strengthening such a society or system or group or faith.


********* *************

Finally I would say
Answers are taken,
Not given.
According to the level and kind of roots
You send down the earth.

The earth or soil
Doesn’t show or give
Fruits and flowers
In form, taste and color
The kind of seeds, plants and its roots
Take from it
Whatever the type they can.


With regards,


Raheem

In either case, you can't accept.

1.
If I deny God
You would say
I am a denier, hence an atheist.

But God is because he is
Not because
I believe or deny him.

Then, why this much of worries
About and for God?
Especially if he doesn’t need any one’s support.

Is he that helpless and desperate…?
Does he need this much customers…?
Or Is he doing some business ?
So, does he need your support of marketing?
But this marketing effort has ever been shown
God to be failing in his marketing strategy.

Why should you put God,
Whom you consider almighty,
As ever failing and as ever requiring?


2.
And if I believe only in God too
You will tell that
I am not a believer or a theist as well.

You want me to believe only half in God
Or you want me to believe that God is only half.

You want me to believe
Not only in God
But in many other power centers and entities.
You want me to believe in devils
Saying devil is different from God
And meaning devil is a god in his own sphere of work.

Those who say
There is devil as opposed to God
Are prophets of Devils too.

They want devils,
More than God,
To create and pass
Orders and revelations
In the name of God.

So their verses are
Devils verses too.
The real Satanic Verses.
Scriptures that got revealed
Because of Devil
And mostly from devil.
The devil that never existed
Except in their own forms and fancies.
(Min al Jinnath and Wa nnaas)

So, what a devil is,
Especially according to those who preach
And our own common logic?

God is the one who doesn’t have
An identity crisis
Needing to prove him
Before his own creatures
Or his own different forms.

Why should he need to
Create and pass orders
When only he is there
And no one is there to contest him.

3.
You also want to me to feel and believe
Creatures have separate independent existence and entity.

OK agreed

Going that way
If I happen to tell you that
Each one is a Deva (like devil is in his sphere) in his own sphere
You will start to disagree.

Helplessness in either cases.

That is why I would answer you
That God is only God
And only God remains.
When there is only God
It would mean that
God is equal to no-God
And no-God is equal to God.

That is the meaning of
“There is no God, But God.”
Like no color becoming a color by itself.
Be it black or white….



If only God,
Can there be anything
Than God or than that of God?
So, everything and every one is divine.
Or otherwise,
No one and nothing is divine.

If there is only God
So, no need of an extra command from God
To be implemented/injected artificially,
That too, with the support of one of his creation or image.
Whatever he wills happens.
Whatever he doesn’t will, doesn’t’ happen.
(Maa shaa’a Allahu Kaan, Wa maa lam yasha’a lam yakun)


With regards,

No one can look at the lightning for long. Then how come, embracing it?

Don't worry -
Children do not like
Where they get caught (be it for minor).
But for them such disliking will be only short.

Not only the children,
Even the grown-up ones do not like to be
Where they get caught
And where they can’t pretend
As they want to be......

So, not only the politicians,
But anyone, including children,
Would come up with more (mostly non-existing)
Excuses covering them or their..........
And to be away from such situations
That will make them know they are naked............

Usually what happens is that
Cat that catches the rats will do
Some disturbances to the household things too...

One who does surgery
Will have to cut the body,
For the better future.
For sure.... little pain.....
But, quite usual for better.

Politicians and common majority
Do not want this done.
Mostly no one is an exception to this.
That is what we call orthodoxy….

So, they cut the head of the surgeon
Who wants, or makes, such surgery on them.

And they cut the head of
Socrates or Jesus or Galileo.

Again
In the case of a stranger/wayfarer,
It will have to be more cruel.

No one can like him for long.
The wayfarer too doesn't want to be liked
As he doesn't want to be
Stuck with such liking.

And it is true too, that,
No one can look at the lightning for long.


Then how come, embracing it?

That too without getting burnt....


With regards,

He is, his mere being is, his deed and creation.

Dear Atta.

Good you are taking in right perspective
And making some points of wisdom and thinking.
And you are very careful too
To make comments of some sense and reason.

Really I appreciate you.
And thank you for your comments.

Though it is very small, your comment,
I don’t think it is small in its depth or meaning.
For me, it looks like an atom
That can explode to discharge
Big amount of energy of destruction/construction (both same).


Dear Atta….,
No one does any act, except God.

No one talks any talk, Except God.

All are equally God’s and God.

There is no area where there is no God.

If there is any area where there is no God
And which is not of God,
It is your duty then to say
Who is there in any such area/act or creation
And to whom such area or act or creation belongs

God never needs to reach any where
Because he is in, with, out and around all and everything.

Try to see God as never failing.

He does, that is his will.

No gap between his will and deed.

He is, his mere being is,
His deed and creation.

No difference between
His being
And his deed or creation.

No past or future or present for him.
No before and after him

Every one is his own making
The way he is.

And all are his means and instruments as well
The way he is.

God created Car. How?
Through the hands of God.
Which we all are.
Each one is a Deva
For each, with and under him.

For a cow,
Food and shelter given
Through, a Deva is called man.
So, It prays to him.
And this prayer is equal to praying to God.
Because man is Deva of certain things/acts.

It is God who is playing
With my worries too
When I try to answer you as well
By making me a deva to do those things.

If at all I am worrying,
Being deva to do that for that,
It is because of being trapped in relativities,
Or seeing those trapped in relativities,
For the time being.
But this trap too is a feel of illusion.


So, talks are done
To those trapped (or feel trapped) in relative
About their relativities
And how to handle it,
To let them see it is not a trap
Or it is a trap because of
Their own thinking and making that way

So, about politics and politicians too.

Worries are only when you are in between.
Before and after: nothing.

Too above and too below: no worries.

It is also
Different to talk about absolute,
And about the time being physical relative world
Knowing you are in it.

To your children
You are only their father.
So, they give you the treat and respect of your
Father stature, which may be wrong and
Which is only a relative stature in your knowledge.

Because, you know,
You are also a husband, friend, brother, son, etc, etc….
And you know you have many other faces and phases too.

Many relative statuses, looking from above,
And when compared to the only concept of your children
Looking at you as a father only.

So, in absolute
You are none of these
But you are all of these together as well.


With regards,

Raheem
