There are many 'doctors' in the world who are highly qualified and reputed, "but they are after name and fame." They are interested in advertising their achievements, please note:
"Health is the fundamental requirement to achieve the 'four goals of human life', namely":
1. Righteousness
2. Wealth
3. Desire
4. Liberation
Without 'good health' man cannot perform, even a small task. "Health is man's supreme Wealth." It is much superior to the other types of wealth possessed by man.
'GOD' has endowed all beings with some power. But the power 'He' has bestowed on human beings is much grater than that given to the other living beings.
Man's physical strength may be less, but 'God' has blessed him with immense mental power, with his will power, man can achieve any mighty task.
There is nothing in this world that he cannot achieve with his will power. He is spending all his energy to travel thousand of miles into space and into a deep sea:
"But is he making any effort to travel even half in inch into his heart?"
It is the power of the mind that helps man to go within. It is possible only when he makes proper use of this power.
All the doctors who serve in the hospital are highly qualified and reputed. It is the power of mind that helps him, it is bestowed by the 'GOD'... Please bear in mind! So serve the people with love and care... bereft of all self-interest. Serve with a great spirit of sacrifice. But such sacrifice is very rarely seen among people today. Very few are blessed with such a noble quality.
It is a great good fortune, if you be able to have a doctor who would be able to love and serve the suffering humanity for the well-being of patients.
"CURRENTLY, ALL DOCTORS CRAVE FOR MONEY"
Seldom, you can see they render service to the patients with noble feelings and purity of heart. One may build big hospitals. Specialists Hospital, you can see it for yourselves:... Do you see most of the patients who go to the hospital are poor and helpless.... They are the people who need our love and care most.
Who is true human being who has the purity of thoughts, word and deed; It is said;
"THE PROPER STUDY OF MANKIND, AND THAT KINDMAN IS MAN"
Every doctor should highly dedicated and have love and concern for the patients, should have much love for the patients. They should talk to the patients with love and make them comfortable.
They should develop the noble virtues of understanding and adjustment. "Imbibe the Spirit of sacrifice and utilize your energy and education for the welfare of others."
"Understand that education is meant for serving society and not for doing business."
There is no greater service than utilizing your education for the benefit of others. Especially, doctors should make every effort to safeguard the health of the mother and child.
My opinion is that the mother and child care should be given to priority.
"Without the mother, how can the world exist?"
"One should become the recipient of one's mother's love and grace."
"Only then can one expect to win 'Divine grace'."
Speak the truth and practice righteousness.
Humaness will blossom in the world only when this principle is put into practice. Please remember!
Truth is referred to as; Morality
Righteousness relates - procedure
and Sacrifice confers - reputation.
"So human race is the combination of Morality, Procedure and Reputation."
But today morality is lacking in society.
Of what use education without morality?
Life itself has no value without morality. Adhere to truth; practice righteousness; cultivate the spirit of sacrifice... There is nothing greater than this:
"If you come across anyone who is suffering make every effort to give him solace."
How many doctors in this world and you readers of this articles have such a spirit of service?
Very rarely do we find such "service-minded" doctors today.
Heart surgeries have become very expansive. In such a situation, what would have been the fate of poor people? No one seems to be bothered about this. One has to work for the welfare of the poor, alleviate their suffering and set an ideal to the nation.
"Service becomes truly meaningful only when it is rendered to the poor and needy."
Today neither the doctors nor the politicians, not even the Government for that matter, are concerned about the welfare of the poor.
"If a hospital is constructed at a cost of ten crores, they aspect a profit of 100 crores. Instead of being kind-hearted, they have become business-minded. Hence the condition of the poor."
Today the educated do not care to spare a thought for the poor and forlorn. "Disease has no distinction; It may afflict anybody, be it a pauper or a millionaire."
Dear readers!
"Can't we treat and rendered totally free of cost to the rich and poor alike. Not merely this, even the food will be supplied free. The aim is to cure the patients of their ailments and send them home happy and healthy."
Today all the fields like education, medicine, music, literature, etc., have become business-oriented.
It is your good fortune that you have become doctors. "Sacrifice is the hallmark of a true doctor." So, doctors should have the spirit of sacrifice. They should be compassionate and considerate towards the poor.
Fill your hearts with compassion and serve the poor and needy. Don't be stone-hearted and money-minded. "When the hour of reckoning comes, will you be able to carry with you the wealth you have amassed?"
There are many poor people who are their lives as they cannot afford costly losing treatment. Your love alone can sustain such lives. The more you develop the spirit of sacrifice in you, the greater will be the word's progress.
"Hospitals are meant to serve the poor and not to earn money."
What is the point in earning millions when one has to ultimately leave the world empty handed? So, spend all your earnings for the welfare of the poor. Dedicate your lives to the service of your fellowmen.
So, money should be utilized for the benefit of society. Please take note of this words:
"Charity is the true ornament for the hand. Truth is the true necklace and listening to sacred texts is the true ornament for the years."

BETAPA PENTINGNYA DILAHIRKAN SEBAGAI MANUSIA
Saudaraku yang dikasihi!
Fahamkan dan halusi peringatan ini:
Hadirnya kita ke dunia ini, bukan saja untuk mensia-siakan pernafasan kita siang dan malam, membuncitkan perut dan menjadi pemuja tubuh badan sehinggalah kita sampai ke tahap tua bangka dan menyanyuk. Begitukah tujuannya untuk kita memenuhi tujuan kelahiran kita?
Anjing dan lain-lain binatang juga makan dan menyumbat perutnya siang dan malam, kemudian membiak generasi sepanjang tahun, bercucu-cicit sehingga tidak lagi mengenal pertalian keluarga.... Itu adalah binatang!!!... Bagaimana dengan kita manusia abad ini, membuang anak dan terberanak di sana sini?
Adakah kelahiran kita manusia boleh disamakan dengan kelahiran binatang yang tidak perlu mengenal pertalian persaudaraan?.... Yang muhrim dan yang bukan muhrim?
Jika kita semata-mata menjaga dan memupuk tubuh badan dan dijadikan keutamaan serta perlakuan seks menjadi matlamat dan penyudah kepada tujuan kewujudan ini, maka matlamat dan tujuan kelahiran manusia ke dunia ini adalah tidak bermakna dan tidak bererti apa-apa.
Jika tujuan hidup ini juga dijadikan aktiviti makan dan minum, bangun kemudian tidur dan sebagainya, maka apakah perbezaannya dengan anjing, lembu dan kambing? Berfikirlah dan kuatkan "Kuasa Perbandingan!".
Hidup yang semata-mata mengutamakan tubuh badan, namun apakah kurangnya dengan haiwan yang melata di muka bumi ini? Lembu kambing juga menguak dan menguap, bernafas masuk dan keluar.
Saudaraku pembaca yang dikasihi!
Kita semua patut menyoal diri... "Dari manakah aku datang? Dari apakah tubuh itu dicipta? Untuk tujuan apakah tubuh dicipta? Siapakah aku? Kenapakah aku dilahirkan sebagai manusia?"
Saudaraku!
Mereka yang tahu dan dapat menjawab prinsip tersebut, merekalah boleh digelar orang-orang yang cekap.... Ingat!
"Tanpa ilmu pengetahuan, semuanya adalah sia-sia."
Perlu diingat, "tubuh itu setiap saat menjalani proses perubahan.... Dari bayi kepada kanak-kanak, remaja, kemudian tua," semuanya sangat nyata berlaku di hadapan kita dan ianya berlaku kepada semua orang, ia berlaku siang dan malam sejak lama, tetapi bagi yang hendak memikir saja akan menyedari.
Dalam ertikata lain:
"Apa yang kita sedari, tubuh badan itu pada hari ini; ia tidak akan serupa lagi pada keesokan hari, bulan, tahun dan seterusnya lenyap dari muka bumi ini."
"Perlu diambil perhatian, bahawa 'tubuh badan' itu adalah tidak lebih sebagai 'saluran keluar' air kencing, najis, nanah, kahak, air ludah dan segala kekotoran."
'Tubuh badan' itu juga tempat menghuninya ulat-ulat, serangga, dan ia tempat 'penyimpan segala jenis penyakit' dan sebab itu "tubuh itu BUKANlah bersifat Kekal lagi Abadi."
Tubuh badan itu juga tidak ubah seperti 'pengangkut' yang berisi tulang, urat, saraf, darah dan daging, serta kerangka yang berbalutkan kulit. Namun perlu diberi perhatian dan keutamaan bahawa:
"Di tubuh yang berdaging, berurat, bersaraf, bertulang dan berlemak itu "terdapat sesuatu yang sangat SUCI, yang menggerakkan tubuh itu berjalan, ke sana ke mari, yang tidak diberi perhatian dan tumpuan sepenuhnya, yang mampu meninggalkan tubuh badan pada bila-bila masa, bila dikendakiNya."
Namun, walau sehodoh, seburuk, sehina mana sekali pun tubuh badan itu, ia tetap merupakan 'SUATU ALAT' untuk "menghubungkan kita kepada ALLAH, sebagai SATU TUJUAN dan MATLAMAT di akhir perjalanan hidup seseorang."
Kejarlah apa saja di dunia ini, "setiap kelahiran disudahi dengan kematian," sesuatu yang menakutkan sedang menanti di ambang pintu rumah kita. Kematian sentiasa menanti untuk meragut nyawa sesiapa saja.
Siapakah yang mahu mengira, yang telah datang dan yang telah pergi meninggalkan kita siang dan malam? Sedangkan ada yang usianya lebih panjang daripada nabi-nabi. Namun nabi dan rasul-rasul juga tidak terlepas dari kematian.
Anak, isteri, suami, saudara-mara dan segala kemewahan dan kemakmuran merupakan mahligai yang tidak terbatas di muka bumi ini.... Itu semua adalah dengan 'Rahmat Tuhan' jua. Namun, tiada manusia yang akan berpuas dengannya. Bagi yang sedang menjalani 'Ilmu Kerohanian', 'objek-objek' keduniaan itulah penghalang dan kekangan. Justeru, buatlah pelepasan dari pergantungan tersebut yang tidak akan membawa kita ke mana-mana, malah akan membuat seseorang itu dilanda malapetaka dan kepedihan, pastinya membawa kita semua ke neraka jahanam.
Pakaikanlah dan beri makan tubuh badan itu secara sederhana dan berpatutan sebagai suatu keperluan untuk buat seketika sewaktu di dunia ini, agar ia dapat kita manfaatkan untuk mengangkat kita tinggi ke jalan kerohanian, sebagai suatu tujuan dan maksud kelahiran seseorang di muka bumi ini.
Apa gunanya mengejar kegembiraan yang bersifat sementara, jika kelahiran itu tidak diketahui tujuan dan maksudnya, malah dilanda kegelisahan dan permasalahan.
"Semua keseronokan yang bersifat keduniaan adalah tidak ubah seperti 'pancaran kilat' dan kemudian lenyap begitu sahaja di hadapan mata. Atau umpama 'riak dan gelombang-gelombang kecil di permukaan lautan yang sentiasa saja berubah-ubah."
Demikianlah diumpamakan kepada tubuh badan itu yang nikmatnya hanya dapat dirasai buat seketika. Saudaraku pembaca yang budiman lagi dikasihi!...
"Cuba renung dan fikir-fikirkanlah!"
Mengetahui dan menyedari bahawa tubuh badan kita, isteri, anak-anak, saudara-mara dan semua mereka yang berada di sekeliling kita, semuanya akan lenyap dan musnah, dan kita sendiri yang menyelenggara dan memikul mayat mereka ke kubur....
"Namun itu semua tidak menjadi pengajaran dan menginsafi apakah sebenarnya erti hidup di dunia ini pada realitinya."
Sikap dan perangai tetap juga tidak berubah, walaupun kerapkali berlakunya kematian terhadap mereka yang telah mendahului kita. Tiada yang paling singkat di dalam hidup ini, adalah 'HAYAT' kita. Sedangkan waktu berjalan mengira hari, minggu, bulan, dan tahun, tanpa mengabaikan tugas dan tanggungjawabnya walau setiap saat: Sebab itu dikatakan:
"Sesungguhnya Manusia itu memang di dalam kerugian, kerana mengabaikan waktu.
Saat kelahiran seseorang adalah juga saat yang mengorak langkah kita ke arah kekuburan. Jangan mengabaikan waktu dan saat yang sangat berharga, kerana di saat kematian menjengah dan menjenguk kita, adalah tidak ubah:
"Seperti nelayan menarik naik jaring-jaringnya dan terdapat ikan-ikan yang tersangkut di jaring saling berusaha untuk melepaskan diri, tetapi tiada daya, lesu, lemah, terjerat dan tercekik."
Oleh itu ambil peluang, sekarang, saat ini juga, jangan bertangguh lagi, gunakanlah tubuh badan itu sebaik-baiknya bagi memenuhi maksud dan tujuan kelahirannya.
Kewujudan tubuh badan kita bukanlah atas usaha susah payah ibu bapa kita, demikian sebaliknya. Kita hanya ditakdirkan dan bertuah menjadi manusia tanpa diminta dan diduga.... Justeru, janganlah diabai, disia-siakan begitu sahaja akan maksud dan tujuan 'PENCIPTA'.
Seseorang yang suka menangguh-nangguhkan waktu adalah orang yang jahil dan bodoh kerana melepaskan peluang keemasannya dan menyangka akan hidup bernafsu lagi di alam selepas kebangkitan.
Sedangkan ada pepatah menyatakan:
"Bahawa di dunia inilah contoh di akhirat."
Jika tiada sedikit pun kebaikan yang dapat kita lakukan di dunia ini lagi, apakah akan terjadi di dunia satu lagi bila kita ditempatkan di sana kelak. Pastinya perangai, sikap dan tabiat kita sama.... Justeru, jangan dimimpikan!...
Kini kita boleh lihat dan saksikan, kelahiran yang sia-sia atau dalam ertikata lain, pembuangan bayi di sana sini boleh diumpamakan seperti kata pepatah:
"Air mani Si pendosa, Si lelaki berkeliaran di sana sini dan muncul di pintu rahim perempuan, menjadi sekujur tubuh manusia yang tanpa haluan arah dan tujuan."
Banyak lagi peristiwa pelik akan muncul dan berlaku, lebih liar, akan berkeliaran berupa manusia, tetapi lebih buas daripada binatang, tetapi langsung tidak mempunyai 'ikhsan' dan 'kasih sayang'.
Pelbagai jenis 'spesis' telah diciptakan.... "Tetapi 'MANUSIA'lah suatu ciptaan bagaikan 'mahkota' dari segala ciptaan." Hanya 'manusia'lah yang mampu berfikir...
"Siapakah yang menciptanya? Dari apakah ia terjadi?" Dan sebagainya.
Lain-lain spesis tidak memahami apa-apa. Mereka dilahirkan, kemudian 'MATI'... Tanpa perlu faham erti "esok, hari ini, dan hari lampau." Atau tiada perlu mengetahui bahawa wujudnya "YANG MAHA BERKUASA."
Jika kita asyik berseronok dengan kelahiran tubuh badan itu, dan menjaga serta menghias tubuh itu secara melampau-lampau dan mengejar kekayaan dunia, natijahnya:
"Kita sendirilah yang akan menerima penderitaannya."
Tahukah kita semua, kesempurnaan hidup selaku manusia adalah "kita perlu mendapatkan: Ilmu Pengetahuan yang tertinggi: Iaitu 'MENGENAL AKAN HAKIKAT DIRI SEBENAR DIRI," sehinggalah ke pernafasan kita yang terakhir.
Dalam ertikata lain:
"JANGAN MENDUAKAN TUHAN" (Realization of Non-Duality). "Itulah tujuan kehendakNya Tuhan."
Ingat!...
"Sembahlah Tuhan dengan Ilmu Pengetahuan, beserta 'ROH', 'JIWA', dan 'HATI'.
Jika sembahyang yang dilakukan dirasakan telah sempurna, tetapi tetap 'menduakan Tuhan', itu ertinya kita belum lagi dapat mengnyahkan 'Keegoan dan Kejahilan' kita yang merupakan kekangan dan halangan untuk khusuk dan tawaduk.
Perlu diingat!
"Ilmu pengetahuan dan kejahilan, kedua-duanya masih lagi 'bersifat akal!' yang masih lagi mampu membuat seseorang itu berilusi dan membuat kesilapan."
"Oleh itu nyahkan 'Kejahilan' kerana ada pepatah mengatakan:
Adalah lebih baik mati dari hidup dalam Kejahilan."
Saudaraku yang dikasihi!
Ketahuilah sebenarnya setiap kelahiran punya tujuan; Tujuan Utama 'Kewujudan' kita manusia adalah: "Kita mesti mampu pergi melampaui 'Ilmu Pengetahuan dan Kejahilan' agar kita dapat capai tahap.... 'INSAN KAMIL MUKAMIL'.... 'Insan Yang Suci Lagi Sempurna'."

MAN SHOULD BECOME MASTER OF THE SENSES BUT NOT A SLAVE OF THE SENSES
There can be no body without the 'SENSES' nor senses without the body. These 'two' are inseparable and interdependence. Negative without positive, or positive without negative (in case of electric current) will serve no purpose.
Likewise, a body without senses, or senses without a body cannot function. Hence it is imperative for every person to take proper care of the body.
"Man should aspire and strive to become a master of the senses but not a slave of the senses".
The role of the senses is remarkable. The wonders performed by the Divine defy description. But the part played by the senses is even more marvelous indeed are the ways of the sense organs. "The senses are subtler than the body. Although the faculties of speech, touch, sight, hearing and taste as well as gas, bile and phlegm exist in the body."
The senses exercise extraordinary control over all of them equally. Joy and sorrow, heat and cold etc., are experienced only when the sense organs come in contact with external objects. Without the sensory objects, the senses cannot function even for a moment.
All the activities of the senses are oriented towards the objects in the environment. It is possible for us to comprehend or describe the myriad facets of sense organs and their activities.
'TONGUE'
The senses are also called 'measuring instruments'. How is this measuring done by the sense organs?
Take a fruit, for instance. Which of the senses has the capacity to determine whether it is sweet or sour? Which is the sense organ that measures or decides the taste of an objects? It is the 'TONGUE'.
"The 'tongue' determines the taste of an eatable, decides whether it is good or bad and makes it known to all concerned."
'EYE'
"Which organs is capable of declaring whether a picture is attractive or ugly? The 'EYE' alone is the measuring tool for this purpose."
Similarly, the power to determine whether an object is fragrant or foul-smelling is 'vested in the nose'.
Likewise, it is 'the ear' that can discriminate between a melodious musical note and a discordant one. Thus, the sense organs are endowed with the capacity to measure and determine the particular quality or characteristic of different sense objects.
"Today it is the duty of every person to control the horse like senses."
"Only then can he be called "a Hero in the true sense. Whatever rituals are may perform, whatever Scriptures, Quran, Bible, he might have mastered, if he has no control over his senses, all these accomplishments are worthless."
The 'SENSES' (measuring instruments). It indicates that the limit to what can be experienced by each sense organ, has been prescribed by the 'GOD'.
For instance, the eye can only see, but cannot hear. The mouth can only speak, but cannot see. Thus each organ has been endowed by 'GOD' with a specific talent only. Those who use these organs according to the divinely prescribed functions will alone be acting up to the will of the Divine.
Those who violate the prescribed limits will be transgressing the Divine will, thereby becoming liable for punishment.
It is only by properly using the 'God-given' senses for the purposes for which they are intended that man can rise to "Divine height".
Just because you have the sense organs, you should not use them as you please:
"They are like horses yoked to a chariot. You must know how to handle them properly so that the chariot can run smoothly and safely along the right road to the ultimate goal of life. The horses must be in front of the chariot."
"Today, on the contrary, the horses are placed behind the chariot. This is leading to dangerous consequences. If, on the plea that the senses be respected and given a place of honour, you place the horse (senses) inside the chariot, how can the chariot move at all?"
While fostering the senses, no effort is being made to bring them under control internally.
This amounts to feeding a horse excessively and unduly fattening it, but not giving it adequate work. This is sure to have untoward results. Today we are pampering the senses but not giving them any work. "That is why they are running amuk, spelling disaster to the master himself." The sense should be put to right use as ordained by 'GOD', otherwise, man will have to suffer from lack of peace.
Please note:
"The senses also have been compared to (animals). The word 'animal' means "the one whose vision is externally oriented."
"The one having inner vision, is master of the senses, but not a slave of the senses."
It is a pity that today's man has become a slave of the senses. There are several ways of taming the senses and putting them on proper path. In this connection, it is important to avoid pampering the senses.
"INVESTIGATE THE BIRTH PLACE OF THE SENSE PLEASURES"
If you investigate carefully about the 'birth place' of the sense pleasures, "you will find that they have their origin in sorrow only."
That is why every sense pleasure carries with it "the sting of sorrow." The pleasure derived from the senses is momentary and "ultimately ends up in grief only."
"Desires arise this moment and subside the next moment."
"Desire this moment and digest next moment!"
Pleasure and pain in quick succession! By thus contemplating on the momentary and deceptive nature of the so-called sense-pleasures, we can develop discrimination and detachment and keep the senses under check.
Another important point you should note is that;
"If the senses are kept busy in the right way, there will be no trouble from them. Otherwise, you will become their slave."
"WORLDLY PERSONS"
'Worldly persons' "look only at the superficial and external aspects of things and actions." But Lord does not see things that way. He is "free from hatred or envy, likes or dislikes."
When these are attributed to the Lord, "they are a reflection of your own feelings."
'GOD' "is like a clean mirror." What you see there in is but a mere reflection of your own actions and postures, grin for a grin, smile for a smile, salute for a salute, and so on.
You are punished or rewarded by your own actions. Hence no one is entitled to question "the action of GOD". Accusing 'GOD' of favouritism to some and indifference to some others... Who has the authority to dictate to 'GOD' how He could conduct Himself?
The actions of the 'GOD' are always full of love and entirely free from selfishness and therefore totally taintless. That is why God has several appellations like:
"Attributeless, taintless, eternal, pure, enlightened free, etc."
Please remember! As you think, so you become. You look at the world through coloured glasses and wrongly attribute those colours to the world... God does not purity or impurity. It is all in our vision only. It is our defective vision that makes you see defects which do not exist in creation.
And please note:
"The defects which you attribute to the senses are, in fact, the defects in your own thought processes and feelings, if the senses are properly used, they will offer you the right impressions."
However, some stubborn people given to vain argumentation, blame God for giving an outgoing orientation to man's senses. They argue that God has given the 'EYES' with doors which open to the outside world; 'EARS' which can hear external sounds; And 'NOSES' that can only inhale the air from outside.
They contend, therefore, that the fault lies with the creator only and not with them. They try to justify their senserous behaviour, by saying; "Toerr is human."
Such misleading rationalisation is a travesty of truth and is worthy of strong condemnation, especially when it is indulged in by the youth.
"If animals behave wrongly, it is quite understandable, because they are not endowed with the faculty of discrimination to control and guide their senses."
"But if man, who is blessed by GOD with the power of discrimination, takes to the wrong path, yielding to his senses, it is highly unpardonable. How paradoxical and rediculous it is to be born as a man and to behave as an animal."
Behave, therefore, as befits a human being.
An eminent poet sang thus about the havoc that the senses are capable of:
"If the head harbours wicked thoughts the tongue indulges in calumny, if the eyes are keen to observe others lapses, if the ears are alert to overhear other, if the mind and heart are bent upon deceiving others,.... at the very sight of these monstrosities justice and fair play will not survive at all."

2. "Health Care Is Not A Business"
Likewise, a body without senses, or senses without a body cannot function. Hence it is imperative for every person to take proper care of the body.
"Man should aspire and strive to become a master of the senses but not a slave of the senses".
The role of the senses is remarkable. The wonders performed by the Divine defy description. But the part played by the senses is even more marvelous indeed are the ways of the sense organs. "The senses are subtler than the body. Although the faculties of speech, touch, sight, hearing and taste as well as gas, bile and phlegm exist in the body."
The senses exercise extraordinary control over all of them equally. Joy and sorrow, heat and cold etc., are experienced only when the sense organs come in contact with external objects. Without the sensory objects, the senses cannot function even for a moment.
All the activities of the senses are oriented towards the objects in the environment. It is possible for us to comprehend or describe the myriad facets of sense organs and their activities.
'TONGUE'
The senses are also called 'measuring instruments'. How is this measuring done by the sense organs?
Take a fruit, for instance. Which of the senses has the capacity to determine whether it is sweet or sour? Which is the sense organ that measures or decides the taste of an objects? It is the 'TONGUE'.
"The 'tongue' determines the taste of an eatable, decides whether it is good or bad and makes it known to all concerned."
'EYE'
"Which organs is capable of declaring whether a picture is attractive or ugly? The 'EYE' alone is the measuring tool for this purpose."
Similarly, the power to determine whether an object is fragrant or foul-smelling is 'vested in the nose'.
Likewise, it is 'the ear' that can discriminate between a melodious musical note and a discordant one. Thus, the sense organs are endowed with the capacity to measure and determine the particular quality or characteristic of different sense objects.
"Today it is the duty of every person to control the horse like senses."
"Only then can he be called "a Hero in the true sense. Whatever rituals are may perform, whatever Scriptures, Quran, Bible, he might have mastered, if he has no control over his senses, all these accomplishments are worthless."
The 'SENSES' (measuring instruments). It indicates that the limit to what can be experienced by each sense organ, has been prescribed by the 'GOD'.
For instance, the eye can only see, but cannot hear. The mouth can only speak, but cannot see. Thus each organ has been endowed by 'GOD' with a specific talent only. Those who use these organs according to the divinely prescribed functions will alone be acting up to the will of the Divine.
Those who violate the prescribed limits will be transgressing the Divine will, thereby becoming liable for punishment.
It is only by properly using the 'God-given' senses for the purposes for which they are intended that man can rise to "Divine height".
Just because you have the sense organs, you should not use them as you please:
"They are like horses yoked to a chariot. You must know how to handle them properly so that the chariot can run smoothly and safely along the right road to the ultimate goal of life. The horses must be in front of the chariot."
"Today, on the contrary, the horses are placed behind the chariot. This is leading to dangerous consequences. If, on the plea that the senses be respected and given a place of honour, you place the horse (senses) inside the chariot, how can the chariot move at all?"
While fostering the senses, no effort is being made to bring them under control internally.
This amounts to feeding a horse excessively and unduly fattening it, but not giving it adequate work. This is sure to have untoward results. Today we are pampering the senses but not giving them any work. "That is why they are running amuk, spelling disaster to the master himself." The sense should be put to right use as ordained by 'GOD', otherwise, man will have to suffer from lack of peace.
Please note:
"The senses also have been compared to (animals). The word 'animal' means "the one whose vision is externally oriented."
"The one having inner vision, is master of the senses, but not a slave of the senses."
It is a pity that today's man has become a slave of the senses. There are several ways of taming the senses and putting them on proper path. In this connection, it is important to avoid pampering the senses.
"INVESTIGATE THE BIRTH PLACE OF THE SENSE PLEASURES"
If you investigate carefully about the 'birth place' of the sense pleasures, "you will find that they have their origin in sorrow only."
That is why every sense pleasure carries with it "the sting of sorrow." The pleasure derived from the senses is momentary and "ultimately ends up in grief only."
"Desires arise this moment and subside the next moment."
"Desire this moment and digest next moment!"
Pleasure and pain in quick succession! By thus contemplating on the momentary and deceptive nature of the so-called sense-pleasures, we can develop discrimination and detachment and keep the senses under check.
Another important point you should note is that;
"If the senses are kept busy in the right way, there will be no trouble from them. Otherwise, you will become their slave."
"WORLDLY PERSONS"
'Worldly persons' "look only at the superficial and external aspects of things and actions." But Lord does not see things that way. He is "free from hatred or envy, likes or dislikes."
When these are attributed to the Lord, "they are a reflection of your own feelings."
'GOD' "is like a clean mirror." What you see there in is but a mere reflection of your own actions and postures, grin for a grin, smile for a smile, salute for a salute, and so on.
You are punished or rewarded by your own actions. Hence no one is entitled to question "the action of GOD". Accusing 'GOD' of favouritism to some and indifference to some others... Who has the authority to dictate to 'GOD' how He could conduct Himself?
The actions of the 'GOD' are always full of love and entirely free from selfishness and therefore totally taintless. That is why God has several appellations like:
"Attributeless, taintless, eternal, pure, enlightened free, etc."
Please remember! As you think, so you become. You look at the world through coloured glasses and wrongly attribute those colours to the world... God does not purity or impurity. It is all in our vision only. It is our defective vision that makes you see defects which do not exist in creation.
And please note:
"The defects which you attribute to the senses are, in fact, the defects in your own thought processes and feelings, if the senses are properly used, they will offer you the right impressions."
However, some stubborn people given to vain argumentation, blame God for giving an outgoing orientation to man's senses. They argue that God has given the 'EYES' with doors which open to the outside world; 'EARS' which can hear external sounds; And 'NOSES' that can only inhale the air from outside.

ZIKIR DAN KESANNYA PADA MENTAL, ROH, HATI DAN PERSEKITARAN
Memang terdapat 'kepedihan dan keperitan' menanti kita dalam kita sedang bergembira. Kerana tiada siapa mampu memisahkan antara keduanya. Di dalam kepedihan itulah menanti kita dengan penuh kegembiraan dan dalam suka dan duka itulah "kesan kepada 'Ujian Tuhan' terhadap kita manusia."
Tahun demi tahun saling berulang, tetapi "manusia tidak lagi dapat mengembangkan 'nilai-nilai dan rasa kemanusiaannya'." Seorang manusia, yang benar-benar 'MANUSIA', adalah "yang mempunyai 'AKAL'". 'Nilai' atau 'mutu' bagi orang-orang yang 'berakal' adalah:
"Ia umpama sinar cahaya matahari yang sedang menyimbahkan cahayanya ke seluruh pelusuk muka bumi jika di situ terdapat gelap kejahilan."
"Kesejukan dan keredupannya pula bagaikan 'bulan purnama' di gelap gelita malam."
Mereka inilah yang mengungkapkan "kata-kata suci menyebar ketenangan dan keharmonian kepada kesejahteraan alam dan masyarakat". Mereka punya "sifat kasih sayang, ikhsan, simpati, kesabaran dan pengorbanan. Mereka seumpama itulah boleh digelar "benar-benar MANUSIA".
Tetapi, kini manusia yang dikatakan sudah tamaddun berada pada zaman Sains dan Teknologi....'Nilai-nilai kemanusiaan' sudah ketandusan dan sukar didapati.
Mana mungkin, yang dikatakan manusia, yang tidak lagi mempunyai 'nilai-nilai kemanusiaan', hendak kita gelar mereka itu 'manusia'? Jauh sekali hendak digelar 'INSAN'?
"CONTOHI ALAM, DAN LATIH NILAI-NILAI KEMANUSIAAN".
'Asal usul manusia' adalah dari 'alam', bila disebut 'ALAM', 'alam' itu adalah "Tanah, Api, Angin, dan Air".
Cuma manusia dikurniakan 'nilai tambah', iaitu 'AKAL'. Jika tidak, samalah kita seperti 'binatang'- "pembiak dan pengembang generasi". Namun kita tetap binatang, iaitu "Haiwannunatik" (Haiwan yang pandai berkata-kata).
Asal usul 'tubuh' kita adalah daripada alam 'nature'. Tanahlah menampung penghidupan. 'Matahari' memberi dan menyimbah 'cahaya'. 'Pokok-pokok' mengeluarkan 'oksigen' untuk "kita bernafas". 'Air' menghilangkan 'kedahagaan' kita dan membuatkan kita boleh terus hidup.
Ingat!... Semua itu adalah merupakan 'TENAGA PENGHIDUPAN', yang membuatkan kita semua tidak mahu berfikir.
Justeru, bagaimana mungkin, kita manusia yang terjadi daripada 'Empat Anasir'(4) dan dapat menampung hidup sehingga ke hari ini, tidak langsung 'peka dan perihatin' terhadap 'persekitarannya', dan langsung "tidak punya 'Nilai Kemanusiaan'?"
Jika kita dapat hidup, tumbuh dan mengembang melalui alam, kita sepatutnya dapat "mengambil pelajaran dan pengajaran", serta melatih dan mengembangkan 'nilai-nilai unggul' yang "telah diatur oleh 'ALAM'".
Burung-burung dan pelbagai binatang, serta pokok-pokok, "berjalan mengikut 'HUKUM ALAM' yang tersusun lagi teratur untuk memacu dan menyumbang khidmat baktinya yang terbaik dan terunggul sewaktu hidupnya.
Semua pokok-pokok menghidu 'karbon beracun' dan mengeluarkan 'oksigen' penghidupan untuk semua penghidupan di muka bumi ini. Binatang juga memainkan peranan penting untuk membantu penghidupan semua yang 'bernyawa', dengan pelbagai cara.
Tetapi kita 'selaku manusia', dilahirkan sebagai 'MANUSIA', tidak mempunyai nilai-nilai kemanusiaan langsung?
Maka tidaklah boleh manusia itu kita sebariskan atau kategorikan sebagai 'manusia', cuma boleh kita kategorikan hanya pada 'rupa'. Perangai, sikap dan tingkah laku adalah lebih hina daripada 'haiwan' yang melata.... Justeru awas!... Jangan didekati 'haiwan' seumpama itu, sangat petah berbicara tentang 'agama', menyelubungi diri dengan jubah, serban dan bertudung litup.
Kita semua dalam kekeliruan, kebingungan, dan terpedaya. Justeru, "mari kita berbalik kepada 'mauduk' yang hendak kita kongsikan bersama."
Di dalam muka bumi ini, seluruh kewujudan diklasifikasikan kepada 'empat'(4) kategori:
1. Yang lahirnya melalui 'sebutir telur'.
2. Yang lahirnya melalui 'rahim seorang ibu'.
3. Yang lahirnya melalui 'Tanah' (Bumi).
4. Yang lahirnya melalui 'wap' pada sesuatu permukaan.
Di antara 'empat' kategori tersebut, kita pilih yang nombor 'dua' (2). Yang lahirnya dari 'perut' atau 'rahim seorang ibu'... Lagi 'berakal' dituntut agar beragama, agar kita jadi benar-benar 'manusia' untuk dirinya, dunia dan Tuhannya.
Selaku manusia yang 'berakal' yang berbekal 'Al-Quran' ('aqli dan naqli), sewajarnyalah kita dapat mengatur hidup kita benar-benar sebagai manusia yang berakal, sebagai pedoman sewaktu di dunia.
Kita disuruh 'mengingat Tuhan' sebanyak-banyaknya di hati, di lidah, dan di setiap 'perbuatan dan tingkah laku' kita walau di mana saja kita berada.
Tetapi adakah "akal, roh, hati dan seluruh tingkah laku" kita benar-benar berkesan dan mengharmonikan seluruh persekitaran kita?
Tahukah kita bahawa "seluruh zikirullah" kita ada kaitan dengan "pernafasan kita yang keluar dan masuk?"
"Kalau pokok pun bernafas 'mengeluarkan oksigen' dan 'menyedut karbon dioksida'". Tetapi kita "manusia menyedut 'oksigen' daripada pokok-pokok, dan mengeluarkan 'karbon dioksida' yang beracun di persekitaran kita". Maka dengan sebab itu, iringilah pernafasan kita dengan 'zikirullah'. Kerana 'zikirullah' ada elemen 'mencuci dan pencuci' ada pencemaran dan kekotoran.
"Zikir dan sebutlah apa saja nama Allah", seperti:
"Allahuakbar, Subhanallah, Allah, Allah, Allah." Atau sebagainya dengan betul, kerana 'zikir' tidak menuntut belas kasihan dan keampunan, tetapi ia menuntut... "kejelasan, kejernihan, ketelusan intelek", agar yang 'HAK' itu "benar-benar dapat memancar dan terpancar dengan jujur dan ikhlas, tanpa hipokrit, meniru-niru, penuh kepura-puraan."
"Zikir juga sebenarnya suatu penyeruan yang ke arah atau kepada 'Kuasa KeAgongan'", yang mampu menyerapi 'Matahari' dan seluruh planet di 'tujuh' petala bumi. Ia juga dapat membangkit dan mengukuhkan 'kuasa dalaman', menjitukan kebijaksanaan, agar kita semua dapat hidup di dunia ini secara bersungguh-sungguh sehingga berjaya ke destinasi yang hendak kita tuju.
Nasihat saya:
Belajarlah, jangan kita jadi orang yang digelar... 'JAHIL MURAKAB'. Ertinya; "Jahil Akan Dirinya dan Jahil Akan Tuhannya." Belajarlah sifat-sifat Tuhan secara mandalam. Seperti 'Ilmu Tauhid', 'Sifat Dua Puluh', 'Ilmu Tasauf', 'Ilmu Kerohanian', 'Ilmu Sufi', dan lain-lain yang "boleh memandu 'Akal', 'Roh', 'Hati', jika dengan betul akan sampailah kita ke tahap "INSAN KAMIL".
Bukankah sudah menjadi kelaziman, dalam bidang apa pun ilmu dan pekerjaan, sebelum kita hendak melakukan sesuatu, kita mesti "ada ilmu tentang sesuatu" itu, serta kesanggupan melakukannya. "Ianya sama ada kita hendak belajar tentang memandu kereta, penyediaan sebelum berceramah, merancang atau melakar strategi untuk pemasaran produk baru kita, menyelesaikan masalah projek kaji selidik Sains." Semuanya itu memerlukan penyediaan awal sebelum kita memulakan apa-apa jua pekerjaan.
Samalah juga jika kita ingin 'berzikir'. Ilmu pengetahuan asas mestilah kita ketahui dan diperlukan sebelum kita hendak berzikir.
Berzikir bukan saja untuk mengingat Tuhan, kita juga mesti tahu tujuan dan pengorbanan berzikir jika tidak nanti kita akan disamakan;
"Seperti anjing menyalak bukit, bintang dan mengharapkan ia berguling jatuh ke ribaan kita."
Atau kita disamakan:
"Seperti burung kakak tua".
Saudaraku yang dukasihi;
Sebenarnya kita sendiri sedia maklum, tiada 'jalan pintas, atau 'jalan mudah' untuk membuat sesuatu kajian dalam bidang Sains, atau apa-apa jua bidang teknologi, ia mengambil masa begitu lama untuk berlatih dan melatih dengan segala persediaan bagi setiap individu.
Oleh itu bagaimanakah pula usaha yang diperlukan oleh setiap individu dalam hal-hal 'Ketuhanan' yang bersifat 'subjektif', "yang kekal lagi abadi", "yang wujudNya tiada permulaan dan akhirnya tiada kesudahan", "yang tidak tertakluk oleh ruang dan waktu".... Adakah semudah dengan 'berzikir' sahaja, kemudian diiringi pula dengan kemungkaran... mengumpat, menyindir, bertelagah, mengadu-dumba, menghasut dan membuat fitnah? semua itu juga keluar dari mulut yang sama tempat kita berzikir. Ada pepatah untuk direnungkan:
"Janganlah kita membuang najis dan membersihkannya juga dengan najis yang sama."
Ambil ingatan!
Setiap 'zikir' adalah kita menyebut nama "Allah Yang Maha Suci". Kerana benar-benar dikatakan Allah itu Maha Suci, maka ia menuntut akan Si Penyebut itu sentiasa saja... "merendah diri, penuh perasaan ikhlas, berkasih sayang, kuat iman... Itulah gaya atau cermin bagi orang-orang yang menghayati dan tahu apa yang dizikirkannya."
Orang yang 'berzikir' bukan saja ia berzikir, malah ia seorang yang 'bermujahadah', kuat tawakal dan keredaannya, khusuk lagi tawaduk terhadap "Keagongan dan RahmatNya Tuhan" yang mengalir dari 'Cahaya Ketuhanan' itu sendiri.
Saudaraku pembaca yang budiman lagi dikasihi;
Bila kita benar-benar mendalami dan mempelajari serta menghayati setiap patah 'zikirullah' yang kita sebut atau lafaz, "tahukah kita orang yang menyebut itu sebenarnya, disucikan oleh zikirnya sendiri."
Dan "orang tersebut mampu menukarkan dirinya kepada orang yang bijak lagi arif". Akal fikirannya pula dapat menyingkirkan segala kekotoran dan ketidaksucian, barulah ia layak untuk menyentuh 'Kitab Suci'.
'KITAB SUCI'
'Firman Tuhan' dan Sabda Tuhan'... "Adalah Suatu Asas Kepada Semua BUNYI". Dan 'BUNYI' itu pula "adalah Asas Kepada Semua Percakapan". 'Percakapan' atau 'sebutan' yang dibaca melalui Al-Quran, adalah merupakan 'penyalur' kepada "kearifan dan kebijaksanaan" terhadap segala "Kemisterian Ilmu Ketuhanan".
Pembacaan atau sebutan yang betul, dengan penuh pengertian melalui pernafasan, mampu menyalur dan 'mengubah akal dan percakapan' dengan lebih tertib dan tertil, dengan penuh kesopanan dan kesusilaan, terhadap seseorang dengan penuh ikhlas dan kejujuran, BUKANnya 'hipokrit' dan 'keangkuhan'.
Melalui proses pernafasan kita itulah kita menyebut dan berzikir, yang dizikirkan pula adalah terhadap sesuatu yang 'Maha Suci', 'Kekal lagi Abadi'. Maka setiap 'zikir' hendaklah datangnya "dari HATI yang tidak berbelah bagi" (TIDAK MENYENGUTU).
Zikir juga membawa pengertian:
Yang membawa maksud; Jauhkanlah kegelapan itu jauh-jauh dari kita, selaku ahli zikir dan limpahilah cahayaMu ke dalam hati ini.
Bagi yang berzikir dengan penuh kejujuran tanpa apa-apa motif, suatu hari nanti ia akan "merasai dan menikmati zikirnya itu mampu menyuci segala yang bersifat dalaman", malah seluruh organ yang sedang berfungsi di seluruh tubuh badannya.
"Apabila kita berzikir, zikir kita itu mesti mampu menyucikan 'akal fikiran', dan ia mesti 'bersinar seperti pancaran matahari', seperti 'cahaya matahari' sajalah yang mampu 'mengnyahkan kegelapan' di dalam 'Diri' masing-masing."
"Bukalah 'Hati' itu, berzikirlah dan kita akan menang dalam hidup ini."
Seperti sepohon pokok tegak kerana 'akar', 'batangnya', yang mampu mengimbang 'sistem penghidupan' kita sehari-hari.
Setiap orang yang hendak 'berzikir' hendaklah mencari 'guru yang arif' lagi cekap. Jangan kita berzikir 'macam burung kakak tua', sedangkan 'akal' kita merayau ke sana ke mari. Tuhan tidak boleh 'dibodohkan' dengan mengulang-ulang benda yang sama tanpa memahami tujuan dan maksudnya!... "Jangan putus asa, teruskan berzikir!..."
Saudaraku pembaca yang dikasihi!
Kalau kita ahli zikir, cuba fahamkan madah ini, sama ada kita sudah sampai tahap status yang dimaksudkan di bawah ini:
"Bolehkah kegelapan mengelirukan atau menyembunyikan 'Kebenaran'?"
"Bila matahari terang memancar, bolehkah 'kedukaan' menyelubungi kita atau bolehkah 'kejahilan' mengelirukan kita? Bolehkah seorang 'egois' menjadi buta?"
"Bila 'Cahaya Ketuhanan' memancar bagaikan terangnya matahari yang menyiram dan menyimbah, mungkinkah kita macam 'orang buta', masih teraba-raba?"
Selamat 'berzikir', teruskan 'berzikir', jangan putus asa walau dalam keadaan apa pun kita, sama ada kita seorang miskin, peminta sedekah yang papa kedana, senang, susah atau kaya raya.

Melalui proses pernafasan kita itulah kita menyebut dan berzikir, yang dizikirkan pula adalah terhadap sesuatu yang 'Maha Suci', 'Kekal lagi Abadi'. Maka setiap 'zikir' hendaklah datangnya "dari HATI yang tidak berbelah bagi" (TIDAK MENYENGUTU).
Zikir juga membawa pengertian:
Yang membawa maksud; Jauhkanlah kegelapan itu jauh-jauh dari kita, selaku ahli zikir dan limpahilah cahayaMu ke dalam hati ini.
Bagi yang berzikir dengan penuh kejujuran tanpa apa-apa motif, suatu hari nanti ia akan "merasai dan menikmati zikirnya itu mampu menyuci segala yang bersifat dalaman", malah seluruh organ yang sedang berfungsi di seluruh tubuh badannya.
"Apabila kita berzikir, zikir kita itu mesti mampu menyucikan 'akal fikiran', dan ia mesti 'bersinar seperti pancaran matahari', seperti 'cahaya matahari' sajalah yang mampu 'mengnyahkan kegelapan' di dalam 'Diri' masing-masing."
"Bukalah 'Hati' itu, berzikirlah dan kita akan menang dalam hidup ini."
Seperti sepohon pokok tegak kerana 'akar', 'batangnya', yang mampu mengimbang 'sistem penghidupan' kita sehari-hari.
Setiap orang yang hendak 'berzikir' hendaklah mencari 'guru yang arif' lagi cekap. Jangan kita berzikir 'macam burung kakak tua', sedangkan 'akal' kita merayau ke sana ke mari. Tuhan tidak boleh 'dibodohkan' dengan mengulang-ulang benda yang sama tanpa memahami tujuan dan maksudnya!... "Jangan putus asa, teruskan berzikir!..."
Saudaraku pembaca yang dikasihi!
Kalau kita ahli zikir, cuba fahamkan madah ini, sama ada kita sudah sampai tahap status yang dimaksudkan di bawah ini:
"Bolehkah kegelapan mengelirukan atau menyembunyikan 'Kebenaran'?"
"Bila matahari terang memancar, bolehkah 'kedukaan' menyelubungi kita atau bolehkah 'kejahilan' mengelirukan kita? Bolehkah seorang 'egois' menjadi buta?"
"Bila 'Cahaya Ketuhanan' memancar bagaikan terangnya matahari yang menyiram dan menyimbah, mungkinkah kita macam 'orang buta', masih teraba-raba?"
Selamat 'berzikir', teruskan 'berzikir', jangan putus asa walau dalam keadaan apa pun kita, sama ada kita seorang miskin, peminta sedekah yang papa kedana, senang, susah atau kaya raya.

RELIGION HAS NOT HAPPENED TO THE WORLD YET
If you look back at the history of man, you cannot resist the temptation to say that we have lived in the past in an insane way. In the name of GOD, in the name of church, in the name of mosque, in the name of ideologies, which have no evidence at all, people have been killing each other.
"Religion Has Not Happened To The World Yet".
Have you ever heard of churches of love, temples of love, mosques of love?
It is a message of love from you to the whole cosmos, the trees, the mountain, the rivers, the oceans, the stars, he knows what prayers is. He knows a deeper dance in his heart and a music which has no sounds. Which renews its life a fresh. It is a message of love from you to the whole universe.
The word is significant; it means putting the parts together, so that the part are no longer parts, but become whole.
The root meaning of the word religion is; to put things together in such a way the part is no longer a part, but becomes the whole. Each part becomes the whole, in togetherness.
Each part, separate, is dead; joined together, a new quality appears, the quality of the whole. And to bring that quality into your life is the purpose of all religion... And it is nothing to do with the devil.
But the way the religions have functioned in the world, they have changed its whole quality, the very fabric. "Instead of making it a Science of Integration". So that "man is not many, but 'ONE'...."
Ordinarily you are many, a crowd. To melt this crowd into one wholeness, so that everything in you starts functioning in harmony with everything else within you. And there is no conflict, no division, no fight - nobody higher, nobody lower... You are just harmonious whole.
"The religion around the world have helped humanity to forget even the meaning of the world".
My country like Malaysia or somewhere else, you can see mosques scattered everywhere all over the country. but integration has not happened yet. They just claim to be religious man, they are very childish. They pray five times a day... Thank GOD, but what are they doing between those five times? They are not thinking between those five times. So their thankfulness is just a ritual... It is not their life.
I have been observing all the Muslim, all over the world, in their sermon, every Friday always in their declaration they emphasized the fact again and again that you should love all human beings, you are all brothers.
And just saying, "You are brothers;" does not make it a reality.
If you, out there happen to be a Mohammedan (Muslim). Whether you are in Malaysia or elsewhere in this universe, "particularly, politicians..." You are the cause of all the friction, fragments.
The politicians are articulate, clever, cunning... Mostly coming from the legal profession. They are saying there should be no discrimination. Between races, religions, political ideologies, there should be no discrimination... Please note!
"And who is making the discrimination?"
These are the same people who are making the declaration.
It is a deception... It is not meant, what they are saying they don't mean.
It is just to give you an idea that you are Muslim, like my country Malaysia... On the surface it appear so many mosques, very religious, look very pious. Majority of the Muslim in Malaysia, they like politics... But they are rival among them. In their declaration it says:
"We are determined to eliminate all forms of intolerance and of discrimination based on religion or belief."
And this is not true, religions are fighting continuously. In Malaysia my country - They are all Muslims. You can see the politics behind it. It say Malaysia is a Muslim Country - But they are not integrated - All are facades to hide things.
These religious people, who get themselves involved in politics, they are very, very cunning people.
They don't want to be controversial, so they say only one things which you like or everybody is going to like... "They are not concerned with the actual situation, and the changes it needs."
"Their whole effort is in how to make you happy just by giving you bogus words."
Please remember!
"Nowhere in the world are any of the basic rights being applied."
As far as I am concerned, religion has not happened to the world yet.
Most of this people are not born with a conscience. Most of the so called religious man they don't understand what conscience is... They have learned only words. They are articulate, they can play with words, they can use beautiful words which influence everybody and hide the reality. A religious people who get themselves involved in politics, they look very diplomacy, beautiful name for all kinds of cunningness. It is a beautiful label for all that is ugly.
Diplomacy is simply an effort to dominate, it may be between persons, it may be between religions, it may be between countries - It does not matter. It is not only in politics, it is in our whole life.
If you happened to be a politicians diplomacy has entered into your blood:
When you see somebody and you feel; "Now my whole day is wasted; Seeing this bastard early in the morning is a perfect indication that something wrong is going to happen, some calamity is going to happen to me." (it is whispered in the heart). But you say to the man, "Hello! How are you? Glad to see you!" - That is diplomacy.
Diplomacy has entered into our blood. When you don't love your wife and pretend that you love her, it is diplomacy: When without any love, you hug your children, just because it has to be done - That is diplomacy.
Diplomacy is not only political, not any more - It has entered into every arena of life. And wherever it enters it brings pseudoness, falsity; It destroys authenticity, sincerity, honesty.
"It makes you say things which you don't mean, it makes you do things which you don't mean."
It makes you many instead of one; You become a crowd. You go on carrying many masks with you because you never know which mask will be needed in a certain situation.
And not only has man become diplomatic - even animals who live with man become diplomatic, dogs become diplomatic. Watch a dog.... A stranger comes to your house, knocks on the door. The dog starts two things;
He starts barking and at the same time he wags his tail. "This is diplomacy!" Because he is not certain whether the man who has knocked on the door is really a friend of the master or not - It is better to keep your feet in both the boats, then whatsoever turns out to be right you can withdraw from the wrong one. Then you come out of the house and the dog sees that the stranger is a friend; the barking stops and the tail continues to wag.
Man contaminates everything; even innocent people, even dogs are corrupted by human contact. You start teaching small children to be diplomatic. On the one hand you go telling them. "Be true, be sincere, be honest," and then one day a man comes to the door and you tell your son, "Go and say that daddy is out." Now the boy is puzzled, What to do?
"I am reminding to all religious person mainly Muslim in my country particularly Malaysia, no matter from which faction you are sided!"
Being a religions and pious person you has to stop all diplomacy. My advice is "you has to be authentic." Sincere, you has to be as you are, no pretensions, no false personalities, no facades;
"Just being utterly as you are, utterly in your reality."
Because it is our falsities which are like parasites on our being; they go on sucking our blood. The more falsities you create around yourself, the more miserable you become.
To live in falsities is to be in heaven. But humanity loves knowledge, information, it is very... ego satisfying. Whenever you can say that you know, whenever you can give some advice to somebody else, you feel very high. Not knowing who you are, not knowing where you are, you go on playing the role of the teacher.... of the guru!
Just look around - everybody is giving advice to everybody else. Of course, "nobody takes it," - and it is good that nobody takes it otherwise the world would be in much trouble... It is already in much trouble.
It is good that nobody takes your advice -
"Your advice is worthless; please note: In trouble, in crisis, you will not listen to your own advice. It is just a dead junk, it is nothing to do with your own inner growth."
In the whole world everybody is so knowledgeable, that you cannot find a single person in the whole country who can say; "I don't know." He is willing to give a discourse on God, on heaven and hell...
Ten thousand years knowledge has been gathering and being transferred from one generation to another generation, layer upon layer. Every mind has become so full of knowledge that nobody is ready to listen...
So the wise men said; "It is better just to be silent."

ALAM MENCARI PERSEIMBANGAN
Saudara pembaca yang dirahmati Allah:
"Segala Puji Bagi Allah Tuhan Pentadbir Alam." (Surah Al-Fatihah, ayat 1)
Penuntut, pakar pendidikan, dan penaung kepada semua Universiti, serta tidak ketinggalan juga menteri-menterinya;
Ingat!!!....
"Seluruh 'kosmos' atau 'alam' ini dikawal dan ditadbir oleh Tuhan secara ghaib."
Dunia ini tiada batas dan tepinya, ia sangat hebat dan menakjubkan. Kerana tidak faham dan "tidak mengerti tujuan 'ciptaan' alam ini, maka manusia menjadi mangsa kepada kehancuran, kemusnahan dan malapetaka. Dalam ertikata lain, kita manusia terjebak ke dalam 'Kuasa Kehancuran'."
Kita manusia, tidak boleh melawan kuasa ghaib, kalau kita cuba berusaha juga, natijahnya kita akan hancur. Sebaliknya kita dituntut supaya mengambil, menggunakan 'kuasa' tersebut bagi manfaat dan kesejahteraan alam. Menjitu dan mengintegrasikan 'kuasa' tersebut walaupun tidak seberapa... Tetapi ia tetap kuasa yang berlegar di ruang angkasa dan pada diri masing-masing.
"Seluruh alam membuat 'proklamasi' atau 'peristiharan':"
"Allah Itu Maha Besar!"
"Allah Itu Maha Berkuasa!"
"Allah Itu Maha Mengetahui!"
"Itulah proklamasi alam setiap saat dan waktu."
Setiap manusia, kalau makan dan minumnya diperoleh dari sumber alam, pastinya ada nilai-nilai alam tersebut. Oleh kerana kita adalah sebahagian daripada alam, maka kita sebanyak sedikit "mesti terikat dengan tanggungjawab untuk memelihara alam sebagai salah satu 'sumber utama' untuk keperluan dan kepentingan 'tubuh badan'." Pastinya segala tumpuan dan kesedaran kita itu berpesepsikan 'ALAM'.
Memang kita disuruh dalam hidup ini agar mengambil dan menggunakan sumber alam agar dapat menukar sesuatu dari alam tersebut sebagai proses 'kreativiti' untuk kemudahan dan kesejahteraan seluruh kewujudan.
"MENYALAHGUNA SUMBER ALAM"
Malangnya muktahir ini - atas nama 'kemajuan Sains dan Teknologi', akibahnya manusia jadi rakus, penceroboh, penjarah dan pemusnah.
Kemerosotan 'nilai-nilai kemanusiaan' dan pertimbangannya telah jatuh ke paras yang paling teruk dan parah.
"Mereka boleh kita umpamakan orang-orang yang terpelajar yang bergelar Saintis dan sebagainya, yang sangat jahat. (The bad educated man)."
"Dan mereka ini menganggap dunia ini dicipta semata-mata untuk 'nikmat dan keseronokan deria' masing-masing."
Natijahnya;
Penyalahgunaan Kuasa Alam 'nature', "menyebabkan alam hilang perseimbangan" dan akhirnya ia bertukar menjadi ancaman kepada dunia.
Tujuan alam dicipta bukan untuk keseronokan, menyalahguna sumber ALAM dan melupakan asas-asas kemanusiaan.
"Kini kita lihat rata-rata manusia sudah melampaui dan menentang tujuan seluruh Ciptaan."
Ternyata banyak malapetaka, "semuanya berpunca dari sikap dan kerakusan manusia itu sendiri."
"Gempa bumi, ledakan gunung berapi, peperangan, banjir di sana sini, kebuluran, dan lain-lain adalah akibah penyalahgunaan kuasa terhadap alam."
Penyalahgunaan kuasa ini dapat dikesan adalah 'berpunca dari sikap manusia'.... "Walaupun pihak pemerintah cuba menafikannya."
Kita manusia tidak lagi kisah perhubungannya dengan alam semulajadi, tempat ia meraih sumber dan segala kemudahan. "Sedarkah kita alam sudah mula menjauhkan dirinya dari manusia, dan mula 'bertindak balas' dengan pelbagai malapetaka?"
Di dalam tubuh manusia atau tubuh badan itu sendiri adalah berasal daripada 'empat anasir'. Dan seluruh organnya seperti mata, telinga, mulut, hidung dan lain-lain adalah saling berkait antara satu sama lain. Jika kita rasakan semua organ itu perlu dan penting untuk kita manusia, begitulah pentingnya juga kita terhadap masyarakat di sekeliling kita. Samalah juga kaitan organ-organ yang saling memerlukan antara satu sama lain.
Ingat!
"Manusia itu adalah sebahagian daripada alam". Maka manusia perlu menyedari dan perlu faham akan perhubungan tersebut.
Kita manusia bagaikan 'pengarah -pentas' di dunia ini. Oleh itu apa-apa kesilapan atau mengabaikan tanggungjawabnya, jangan disalahkan sesiapa.
Manusia menuntut haknya di dunia ini dengan merebut-rebut sempadan, kawasan, atau wilayah. Apakah hak manusia itu sebenarnya?... Jika dirinya juga 'tubuh badan' itu pun 'dicipta' sama macam bumi.
Jika kita merenung, mendalami, dan ingin menyelidik, akan kita sedari bahawa manusia tiada hak langsung terhadap bumi atau dunia ini, sangat menghairankan perkara mudah begitu pun tidak boleh bawa berfikir.
Saudaraku pembaca yang dikasihi!
"Sebenarnya kita tidak punya 'hak'; yang ada adalah 'tugas' bukannya hak."
Justeru, adalah sangat 'tolol dan bodoh' untuk bergaduh atau berperang tanpa memikirkan tugas utamanya datang ke dunia ini.
Jika kita semua tahu tugasnya masing-masing, seluruh dunia akan aman damai dan harmonis.
Renungkan rangkap kata di bawah ini:
"Bila ada seorang majikan yang baik pengurusannya, pekerjanya juga akan bekerja dengan baik."
"Bila Si ibu bapa menunaikan tanggungjawabnya dengan baik, Si anak akan menyedari akan tanggungjawab Si ibu bapanya."
"Bila Si anak menjalankan tugas-tugasnya melalui contoh ibu bapanya, pastinya ia akan dihormati."
"Demikianlah, bila seorang guru menjalankan tugasnya dengan baik, Si anak murid pastinya berkelakuan baik. Bila Si murid berkelakuan baik, pastinya pemerintah di sesebuah negeri atau negara akan disegani dan dihormati."
Malangnya kini manusia sudah melupakan kewajipan masing-masing, bahawa dunia ini juga merupakan organisme penting yang saling berkait dan memerlukan.
Bukankah jika kita semua menjalankan tugas kita masing-masing dengan sempurna, faedah atau imbuhannya juga untuk kita manusia?.... Justeru ingat!....
"Kita dituntut untuk menyempurna dan menjalankan tugas kita masing-masing di dunia ini dan bukannya untuk faedah dan kepentingan dirinya."
"Tiada segenggam atau sekepal tanah pun akan kita bawa balik, apabila kita mati kelak!"
Kini pendidikan dan pembelajaran di dunia ini telah dicemari dengan pelbagai permasalahan yang sangat mengelirukan pemerintah itu sendiri. Sistem pendidikan itu sendiri membawa kepada keruntuhan nilai-nilai kemanusiaan di dalam masyarakat masa kini. Institusi pendidikan yang sepatutnya membimbing dan menjulang nama untuk negara serta kebajikan terhadap warganya telah ranap dan menyimpang.
Nilai-nilai kemanusiaan seperti suka berkorban, berintegriti, adil dan bermoral hampir hendak lenyap. Rasa hormat terhadap yang lebih dewasa dan tua juga sudah mula hendak lenyap. Apa yang diperlukan masa kini bukanlah suatu sistem pendidikan, tidak juga menyusun semula masalah sosial, tidak juga agama baru.
Tetapi apa yang sangat diperlukan masa kini masalah orang yang mulia dan daya fikirnya tinggi sama ada ia seorang lelaki atau perempuan.
Negara akan makmur dan aman jika kita ada orang-orang seumpama itu, bukan sahaja daya fikirnya tinggi tetapi luhur dan baik hati. Orang-orang seumpama itu bukan saja akan muncul di dalam masyarakat malah mempunyai kesucian akal dan bermoral di dalam masyarakat. "Hanya masyarakatnya yang bermoral sahaja mampu mensejahterakan negara."

"Tiada segenggam atau sekepal tanah pun akan kita bawa balik, apabila kita mati kelak!"
Kini pendidikan dan pembelajaran di dunia ini telah dicemari dengan pelbagai permasalahan yang sangat mengelirukan pemerintah itu sendiri. Sistem pendidikan itu sendiri membawa kepada keruntuhan nilai-nilai kemanusiaan di dalam masyarakat masa kini. Institusi pendidikan yang sepatutnya membimbing dan menjulang nama untuk negara serta kebajikan terhadap warganya telah ranap dan menyimpang.
Nilai-nilai kemanusiaan seperti suka berkorban, berintegriti, adil dan bermoral hampir hendak lenyap. Rasa hormat terhadap yang lebih dewasa dan tua juga sudah mula hendak lenyap. Apa yang diperlukan masa kini bukanlah suatu sistem pendidikan, tidak juga menyusun semula masalah sosial, tidak juga agama baru.
Tetapi apa yang sangat diperlukan masa kini masalah orang yang mulia dan daya fikirnya tinggi sama ada ia seorang lelaki atau perempuan.
Negara akan makmur dan aman jika kita ada orang-orang seumpama itu, bukan sahaja daya fikirnya tinggi tetapi luhur dan baik hati. Orang-orang seumpama itu bukan saja akan muncul di dalam masyarakat malah mempunyai kesucian akal dan bermoral di dalam masyarakat. "Hanya masyarakatnya yang bermoral sahaja mampu mensejahterakan negara."

EARTHQUAKE - TSUNAMI IS THE MYSTERIES OF CREATION
"HOW THE DIVINE WORKS?"
During World War II, millions of men died in Europe. Two years after that the war ended, the children that were born were predominantly males. What is the reason for this? It is the need for maintaining a balance between the ratio of men and women in the population. If such a balance is not maintained, the human race will be extinct.
"What is the power that maintains such a balance? It is the will of the Divine."
Whoever enquires deeply into the working of the Divine cannot fail to notice this. There is at the base of everything a power that is at work... "That is Divinity." Ignoring this, and placing his faith egoistically in some other power, man is falling a prey to unrest. He is a slave to his conceit as a doer and enjoyer... This is wrong.
Please remember!
"There is a principle that is the 'Prime Mover'."
There is a power which governs the Cosmic process, very few attempt to recognize this.
However, it may be asked, if God is controlling everything, what is the need for human effort?
"God is like the electric current. But even if the current is there, you must have a bulb to obtain light. It is only when the bulb is switched on to the current that the bulb will burn." - Another words;
"Human effort and Divine Grace should come together like the joining of the negative and positive ends of and electric circuit, to accomplish anything."
The way, the Divine works this creation or Nature is functioning is amazing beyond words. For instance, the carbon dioxide exhaled by man is being taken up by plants and the oxygen released by the plants is being inhaled by man. Who has made this mutually beneficial arrangement in Nature?
Poet-saints have sung the praise of the Lord Almighty in the following terms;
"Who has watered, manured and grown the small shrubs and the gigantic trees in the crevices of the rock in the mountains?"
"Who has painted the beautiful flowers, birds with such attractive colours?"
"Who has designed the wonderful combination of a green body and a red beak for the parrot?"
The Scientist may explain away all such things as the "LAW OF NATURE". But are these Scientists able to transcend Nature or to dispense with the materials available in Nature?
"SCIENTISTS UPSET THE BALANCE IN NATURE"
We are prone to take the creation for granted, thinking that it is but insentient Nature, thereby ignoring the 'Sentient Principle' that regulates nature and imparts a proper balance among its various constituents.
Scientists and technologists in pursuit of selfish interests as well as of name and fame, utterly disregard the security and welfare of the society and the nation. By upsetting the balance in Nature, which results in various accidents, calamities, losses and misery in the public at large... As what is happening in 'Japan... Earthquake, Tsunami'.
Please note!
For example; The oceans contain air needed by the earth for more than ten years. One lighting in the sky emits enough electricity required for the entire world for twenty years.
"By building gigantic nuclear plant, gigantic dams and storing huge quantities of water in one place, the earth goes down in that area and consequently goes up in another area, like a see saw."
The indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources by the Scientists and Technologists such as various types of mines for extracting minerals, such as;
"Mice, coal, petrol, and other oils results in imbalance and pollution of the five major elements, leading to catastrophies... like earth-quake, Tsunami, volcanoes, etc."
The rapid and excessive proliferation of industries, factories, automobiles, etc, with the attendant pollution of the atmosphere is reasonable for the increasing incidence of diseases like asthma, deafness, etc. However, Science per se is not bad;
"What is necessary is for man to put it to proper and judicious use."
"Please Ponders Over The Mysteries Or Secrets Of Nature".
The so-called 'creation' by the Scientists, whatever the Scientists claim as their 'creation' is only "derived from a combination of the basic materials found in Nature." For example, the Scientist produces water by combining... 'hydrogen and oxygen'.
Not this alone. The way the creation of Nature is functioning is amazing beyond words. For instance, the carbon-dioxide exhaled by man is being taken up by the plants and the oxygen released by the plants is being inhaled by man.
Who has made this mutually beneficial arrangement in Nature? Even the Scientists are in doldrums to understand fully such aspects of creation.
"What a contrast between the Scientist who swells up with pride on account of discovering but a minute fraction of the mystery of creation?"
And 'the Creator (GOD)' who is running the whole universe peacefully, silently, patiently, and lovingly without any pomp or pride!
The Divine, after creation, did not keep all powers within Himself but gave them to mankind. It is true. 'GOD' is the 'Creator'. He created everything in the Universe. He did not retain within His hands the responsibilities relating to the Creation. He gave to human beings all capacities. But He laid down a condition relating to the use of these capacities.
"Man are free to lives as they like. They can utilize all the material objects in creation. There can be no objection to this from anyone not even from GOD."
But, the Divine has declared that there is no escape from the consequences of one's action... "This has to be properly understand."
Meaning:
"No one can go against the laws of Nature."
For instance; The wind blows; Rains fall, heavy downpour. The people who were effected by the deluge, prayed to the Lord:
"Oh Lord! We and our houses, our cattle are suffering from this downpour, Save us from the rain." The Lord replied:
"I cannot stop this rain. What ever has to happen in nature has to go on. But I have the right to protect you from its adverse effects,.... please note:
RAIN COMES ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF NATURE. These natural phenomena should go on in their respective ways. But, I will not stop the rain."
Now, the wind has the power to blow out a lamp. "The Divine has endowed the lamp with the power to shed light. The powers of the wind and of the light are derived from 'GOD'."
"But it is foolish for anyone to order the wind not to blow out the lamp. What one can do is to protect the lamp from the blast of wind by fixing a chimney. And this is within human capacity:"
Through these examples, you should learn how to regulate the forces of Nature and not seek to go against natural laws. It follows that man has the freedom to enjoy the things provided by the 'Creator'.
But man should exercise his discrimination to determine what are beneficial for him and what are not fit to be used. Because all things are available, one should not use them as he likes for the simple reason that each use is accompanied by its natural consequences, "One cannot avoid these consequences."
"If you are prepared to face the consequences, like what is happening in Japan now and will followed by other countries letter on... You can act as you want."
What is happening, however, is enjoyment of something relish and later bemoaning the adverse after-effects... This is the mark of mental weakness.
Nature is like a mirror. It reflects your action. Standing before a mirror. The image in the mirror, reflects your actions. If you attempt to hit the image, the reflection will hit back, and please remember:
"Whatever your thought, that you become."
Another words; "Hence, in the realm of natural phenomena, whatever action you do will be followed by consequences which are inescapable, some time or other."
"RESULT OF ACTIONS ARE INESCAPABLE."
Reminder to all Scientist and ruler all over the world:
When you perform any action, you do not think about the long-term consequences. "You are preoccupied with the concerns of the moment. But when the final results come you are frightened. Whether results are pleasant or unpleasant they are inescapable."
Please remember this:
"If sugar is dissolved in water, even if you think it is poison, it will only do you good. But if poison is put into water and you drink it, thinking that it is sugarcane juice, it will be fatal."
"If you regard something bad as good and action it, the results are bound to be bad."
And please remember:
"THE RESULTS ARE BASED ON YOUR ACTIONS AND NOT ON YOUR FANCIES."
"The one who boasts about his achievements should recognize equally that he is author of his misfortunes."
Not only that. The ruler who pursues an 'unrighteous policy', the entire state is ruined. The people as well as their ruler perish. By succumbing to bad counsel and evil ways, you are leading your Kingdom and your Dynasty to disaster. This is not proper.
Another words:
"Those who are blind, deaf or dumb and those who are insane and those of unsteady mind have no right to rule. When any such person is a ruler, he causes universal ruin."
The world is governed by these principles:
1. Reaction
2. Reflection
3. Resound
Hence all Scientist should see that your 'action' and your 'vision' are right. Because human life has become a plaything in the hands of selfish Scientist. Scientist has lost their wisdom, when wisdom is lost, everything is lost - honour, wealth, position and life itself. Scientific knowledge without wisdom is of no use. Along with Science these should be discrimination, if not "as a Scientist you are lacking the eyes of Wisdom."
