As for the influences….
I have been taught and brought up only in a pure Islamic atmosphere
With a chance of getting very good Islamic awareness.
Never I have had a chance to go through Hindu Vedas and scriptures
In my childhood or in my youth.
I too might have read
What ordinarily all others would have read.
So, never the issue of influence or undue influence comes in.
But, to reach the same destination/conclusion,
One has not to take the same path of others.
5+5 can be ten.
2+8 and 4+6 and 10+0 also can be ten,
Without being influenced by 5+5.
So, no issue of influence (of taking same path of others) arises….
But same God and truth is reached by all
Even if they make their journey through different paths.
When we reach a destination/conclusion,
We can simply consider
That we too reached such a destination.
Reaching destination by oneself
Has not to be termed as getting influenced...
(Even if others have reached there before him)
It is only our reaching where we have to reach finally.
Some may get delayed, some get stuck on the way
For many reason.
That is why even according to Islam,
One may take thousands of birth in the Hell
To reach the same destination / paradise - Moksha,
Which others have attained before.
Rebirths are to erase your actions/karma and its results.
And to emancipated is
To reach the Paradise/moksha of permanence.
So, this is an Islamic norm too,
Which most of the people do not or could not understand
In their mistaken way of defining the hell and paradise only physically.
It is true,
We are all influenced by our birth, bringing up, surrounding,
Each moment and each event of life
That takes place in and around us.
The food we eat influences and builds us.
The sight we see and conversation we make, all influence us.
But such influences should not cause stagnancy.
We should live/filter in such a way that
We will unmake ourselves.
Like each cell die and new cells come in each moment.
We will dis-inform us and undo ourselves (our past) as well.
We will go through a path, but being not stuck.
And path will go through us as well,
Without being stuck in us.
Then only is it a real flow.
Flow of Moksha / into novelties of Paradise.
Never repeating and never having to feel
Boring and monotonous.
Ever in the state in which we are.
Without having to feel any conflict or friction.
So, in the path of our freedom and realization,
We will have to unmake and undo many things.
If being known confines us,
We will have better to choose to be unknown.
So that it will not stop our smooth passing by/ wayfaring.
If, being respected and recognized
Obstructs our wayfaring,
We should be prepared to be
Disrespected and unrecognized,
So, that you will never be influenced and stuck.
Then,
You will ever be just passing by
Like a good wayfarer
Considering every shelter you seek or make
Only as a wayside (Vazhiyoram)
During your passing by through different,
But one and same, path
Thanking you once again for being in touch
And breathing in and out.
Awaiting to hear more and more from you
