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.

Kunal, Am all smiles having read your post. For all the things I have ever read, this piece is the one that makes most sense to me.
Personally, I havent been able to figure out people who are pursuing various agendas for their ticket to Heaven.
I think he is :) Btw he neva told me bout his lil space here, which surely is a pleasant surprise! and yup, besides all the sufi writings, "Good Human Being" has a deeper meaning. Keep writing :)
