Re: [www.keralites.net] GOD FEARING

 

ഖുര്‍ആനില്‍ ത്വാഹാ എന്ന സൂറത്തില്‍ 114 മത്തെ ആയത്തില്‍ ഒരു പ്രാര്‍ത്ഥന നമ്മളെ പഠിപ്പിക്കുന്നുണ്ട് .  ربّ زذني علمأ   ( റബ്ബി സിദ്നി ഹില്‍മ)  " നാഥാ എനിക്ക് ജ്ഞാനം വര്‍ദ്ധിപ്പിച്ചു തരേണമേ.  ഇത് ദൈവത്തെ അറിയാനും മനുഷ്യനെ എന്ന് മാത്രമല്ല ലോകത്തെ എല്ലാത്തിനെയും സ്നേഹിക്കാനും ഉപകരിക്കും.  ഒരു നല്ല ദൈവ വിശ്വാസിക്കെ അതിനു സാധിക്കു.  ദൈവം എല്ലാര്‍ക്കും നന്മ വരുത്തട്ടെ.  മനുഷ്യ നന്മക്കായി നമുക്ക് കൂട്ടായി പ്രയത്നിക്കാം.

I have read a story in my schoolings about Mulla Nasruddin Hodja. He was coming from a faraway
journey in a small ship, and a great storm arose and it appeared that there
seemed to be no chance of surviving.

Nasruddin had a beautiful palace, a marble palace of which he was very proud, in the capital of his country. Even the king was jealous of him and he had offered him whatsoever money he wanted to take, "but give the palace to me".

But Nasruddin was insistent that he was not going to give the palace to anybody at any price. Great offers had come, but he had always refused.

Now that his life was in danger he prayed to God and he said, "Listen! I will give the palace to the poor. I will sell the palace and distribute the money to the poor."

It so happened that the moment he said it the storm started subsiding. As the storm started subsiding, Nasruddin started having second thoughts: "This is too much! And maybe the storm was going to subside anyway. I have unnecessarily risked my palace."

But then he was in for a big surprise: the storm started rising again. Then he really became afraid. He said, "Listen! Don't be bothered with my thoughts – I am a foolish man – but whatsoever I have said I am going to do. I promise you that I will sell the house and distribute the money to the poor."

The storm subsided again. Again he wanted to have second thoughts, but now he was afraid.

He reached the shore and the next day he informed the whole capital that he was going to auction his palace. All the rich people, the king, the prime minister, other ministers, the general, all came, because everybody was interested in his palace. And they were all surprised at what he was doing. They thought him crazy.

Just in front of the palace he had kept a cat, and he told the people who had gathered, "The price of the cat is ten lakh rupees, and the price of the palace is only one rupee, but I am going to sell them together."

The whole thing looked crazy: the cat, ten lakh rupees…just an ordinary cat! He must have caught any wandering cat. But people thought: Why be worried? That is not our business.

The king purchased them. Ten lakh rupees were paid for the cat, one rupee for the palace. Nasruddin gave one rupee to a beggar and said to God, "Look! What I promised I have fulfilled!"

If you do things out of fear you can't do them with your heart. You will be cunning, you will find ways. And whenever the fear will be gone, you will be the same again.

Please, don't be God-fearing. Be God-loving that is my essential message.

Do you do good deeds because you are afraid of God? I am God-loving, not God-fearing.

we should have strong beliefs in our self. our belief/Faith in God comes from them. The understanding and the Belief system of each one of us should be of God Loving. God is not to be feared about. If God is Love, where is the question of fear? He is omni present, omni potent and omniscient. We must be not only God-loving but also people loving individuals. We must try to maintain harmony around us. For this you just need to be true to yourself, to your family and your society. If you can't help, at least make sure that you don't harm anyone.
