 ne
day Hz.Omar was crying;
Those who saw him asked ‘’Oh! Omar
Why are you crying?’’
Omar, the Caliph answered:
‘’How can I not
cry? If a small lamb gets lost near the river Euphrates, I am
afraid that I am going to be questioned about that too’’.
Deep
thinking, contemplation is necessary to have a broader view in
being universal, to take careful steps, to know the people and
to evaluate the human relations, let alone the thought functions
in using something meaningless, which does not have any value
both in our time and even under the conditions of the olden
days.
All
right, then are we able to do our duties regarding this subject?
Let
us ask ourselves…
Should
our lives be led in the direction of our feelings?
If the life is not oriented towards the feelings, then how
should we shape our behaviour and actions?
What
should be the limit in our behaviour?
According
to which criteria should this limit be set?
What
would be the difference between a person living like the other
ordinary men and those who
are walking on the road to freedom?
Should
there be a limit to freedom, in other words leading a free life?
If being free does not accept any limitations, then wouldn’t
it be the freedom of the
body which has put on the
wings of freedom?
Should
the secrets of life
be lived as a mystery within the conscious mind?
While
we are becoming universal and putting restrictions on our
individual behaviour
should we examine the reasons behind this very well?
Is
it necessary to analyse which behaviour types are universal and
which pertain only to the humans of this world?
Can
you bring a person who does not have faith, belief
to the point of faith by using the science that you
possess?
Why
are you burning with the desire to have a universal look in
spite of the fact that you are completely individualistic?
While
we can cover up our individual behaviour and feelings such as
jeaolusy, are we able to think about the state that we are in?
In
the dimension of unity/oneness,
the individual is at the stage of crawling.
He is like a a
baby who is trying to walk and who after making a few steps
stumbles, falls down and stands up again. Like all the other
chidren he too will learn how to walk, he will grow up, become
an adult and in the
end he will find himself as a dynamic, mature structure.
The
light of hope rises one very child, but he should know how to
use it.
