Answer to this strange question in every possible dimension yet leaves nothing but a void which shrinks us to be attached with certain insecurities allowing us to be evolved as communities, societies and cultures bringing respect and mutual understanding. It’s an ancient question leaving its foot prints with nothing but the exercise of power claiming to be higher race taking responsibilities of feeding the lower gods by introducing technology, fantasy and idealism. The political colonization traded slavery in the name of productive labor, education in the name of creating human capital, technology from mono cropping to advance transportation muscling with fading resources injecting nothing but frustration, lack of technological evolution and so much more which have not only over equipped us but also crafted a fair looking tool for self destruction. How come than this gap will be evolved to intellectually cope with the dilemmas of actually getting transformed into a bitter reality of timely colonized and trapping into tight schedules. This technological drift now leaps to demand what we call a degree or a labeling of getting educated, seems not to protect the legacy of eligibility, merit and most above of all the consumption of time and events which than vanishes along with the authority of ruling yourself and making it accountable by positioning it naturally and importantly humanly.

The shattering western policies are not aligned to local emotional gaps towards the left side of the world; this gives an edge to all who share the power of introducing other than the popular consensus. How than this will all go positive and rather neglected in terms of spreading the message of helping the third world inwardly shaking the confidence by penetrating in such institutes who ropes the indigenous knowledge, wisdom, folk lore, intellectual grooming and last resorts of culture shaping a mix breed genetically and culturally charmed by the contemporary races of the first world.

I don’t know what this fight is for?

If one names the harmony, peace & tolerance as life, than what about the other way around who are not only practicing but justifying hatred, extremism, violence & hypocrisy as the very part of the life too?

The eye popping fantasies leaving this generation to be attached with lame honors of riding the horses of hot debates and discussions, and the issues under discussion has directly nothing to do with what we actually are made up of. The silent spectators are therefore so hesitant to participate with the protocols and requirements of such standards. The confusing terms of globalization, urbanization, multinational corporations, instability, development, population pressure, international markets, industries, equality, equity, human rights etc are losing their bites of dominating the entire system, the equation seems unsolved but not wrong and will balance automatically with the collective conscious effecting one way or another.

The difference of opinions does not mean extremism or something that lacks vision, solution or a conclusion rather this diversity is actually acting like a virtue, a requirement for the survival.

I know it’s a huge debate but all i am saying is that at times my truth is your truth; the only problem is that we lack or don’t harmonize that reality.

Solution is something that varies from person to person; it becomes holistic due to pain, harmony, tolerance & peace. A solution is not something like a lotus flower floating in the water untouched by the water; rather it requires to be blended with water, in the water and for the water.

The oneness is not snatching your biased ness that is originality in its concept of nature; it’s like the universal definition or concept of love that is always alive but when it comes to exercising or being stepping in the happening of love it is very different yet indifferent, this difference in the possession of love & yet connecting it to a holistic grand concept makes it a collective power, a strange commonality of difference of possessions.

What we lack is the right affiliation with the concepts and without breaking the uniqueness of harmony we can practice & exercise them individually yet promoting it collectively, at the end of the day we are all part of each other grooming with each other and in each other for each other.

The broader concepts are no more giving their shoulders where humanity can cry on and automatically shifting the terms and conditions in the hands of authoritative powers, So cunning psychology started making its heavy pockets not just within us but around everywhere in societies, cultures, values further bringing clash within civilization of the oneness, and in order to claim, justify and prove who is the big boss the wars starts muscling up from grass root to the whole planet.

The irony is that war has been claiming peace, justifying its brutality in the name of peace, how can one bring peace over the human physical, mental, spiritual & consistent emotional abuse.

The war has not only destructed the fundamental sympathy, and shifted the values, cultures, societies where people started feeling alienated from their own kind of beings, and it all helped nothing but politics, economics, military complexes to overcome in its complete might to keep one separated and deprived from their selves.

The harmony only left to be get attuned with objects or subjects rather with the beings, the actual revolution or solution towards a global revolution is harmony which can be a piece of writing, a song, a pain which shares the thread of oneness, the mother myth of the myths; the unity of the creation which still pricks us from the nightmare and binding us as an integrated whole.

Revolution, solution or evolution is not a name of change, or to bring change for a change but a chain of interdependence and respect of truthfulness, promises and patience.

Things ruling hearts are beyond rewards, expressions, words, actions making this pumping organ as an integrated whole where the pain rules in its all kinds of nature and creating and traveling from invisible to a visible, logical, philosophical, and a natural revolution overcoming on oneself by becoming one with everyone and eventually with The One.

The actual message has been deceived and migrated to some other forms of displaying it as a heritage, a lost civilization, a random thought which rests on the branches of ignorance. The reality of sharing the human destiny has not been able to propose a true picture of peace, justice and tolerance.

How than we are globalizing? How actually are we civilized than? How often do we meet the human within? How come we still share the ultimate commonality of pain? How come than we close are eyes and ears to blood shed, human cries and sufferings? These questions do not need answers, these questions are itself answers.

Such intellectual fantasies have actually put so much pressure which are not allowing the masses to exercise simplicity and their auto defense mechanism switches to let them gone with the wind, all this what is visible intentionally made this world a complex competitive arena where the concept of time dominates and stretches the elastic human capacity to be the part of this blood thirsty machine.

We see around as no body is free, no body is willing to pause such heavy life and to search for the greater realities, this than is not a joke and survival of the fittest fails in front of the divine emotions of altruism, tolerance, sharing the human destiny and completing ourselves by blending into the unity of creation. Alas, it is what it is and we are conditioned to so much we often call as routine, we are not more than sweatshops.

Let me quote A. J. Arberry’s The Doctrine Of The Sufis in which explained that Sufis are agreed that the only guide to God is God himself, holding that the function of the intellect is the function of an intelligent person who is in need of a guide; for the intellect is a thing originated in time, and as such only serves as a guide to things like itself, Ibn’ Ata said: “The intellect is an instrument of servant hood, not a means of approaching lordship”.
