Good Human Being...

In recent times, I felt the need of being close to sufism or sufi writings. The reason for that is that people these days are not good at soul, they are fake, but still they would go to all these "Satsangs & Sankirtans" held by all types of gurus and babas but wot they dunn realise is the importance of being good human being first and i really don't know whether all these "Babas" preach that or not.

One of the most important thing that sufism tried to teach was "One should be a good human being at heart" and then only one should look for God because till the time you are not a good human being it makes no difference where you are a priest or a butcher.


As baba bulleh shah wrote:

Je Rub(God) Milda Nahateyaan Dhoteyan,
Te Milda Dadduan(frogs) Macchhian(fishes) nu,
Je Rub Milda Madhi Masani,
Te Milda Chham Chidikhiyaan nu,
Je Rub Milda Jungal Wele,
Te Milda Gauaan Vacchhian nu,
Bulleh Shah Rub Usnu Milda,
Te Niyataan Jinhaan Diyaan Acchhian...

Here baba bulleh shah is trying to say that "if you think that one who takes bath everyday and remains clean gets God then fishes and frogs should get HIM. and if you get to meet GOD only by roaming around in jungle n mountains then cow heards and other animals should get HIM much before then anyone else. But only those who are good at heart get God. So, it is important to be a good human being first.

Comeback...

Here i come back again after years to write something about the subject which I cherish a lot and that was the only reason why i started writing about "Sufism & Sufi Writings". And that's why i am starting it again...

It was a long journey for me to reach the year 2007 where i am still struggling to take off the loads of my past and present situations. But all through these years i read about suifism and also heard lot of Sufi music especially by Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Saheb(NFAK) , Abida Parveen and Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan who is successor of NFAK.

But to my own surprise i have become agnostic and stopped believing in GOD, i know lot of you would think that how can i relate to something like sufism or sufi writings then. Well, my answer to that would be that you don't have to believe in the existence of God to understand what people like Amir Khusrau or Baba Bulleh Shah wrote.

Am i making any sense???

Another reason for my comeback is the company of excellent journalists, writers and editors. People like Percy Fernandez, whom i call "Percy Bhai" because he is a man of multiple interests and writes so well. Sandeep Pal, whom i call "Bhaaji (big brother in Punjabi)", Nidhi Joshi, Shali Ittaman, Kudrat Bhatia, Kanika, Prachi... all of them write so well and they all write in totally different styles.

So i thought let me also start...
