God lives in the Hearts

I was listening to Abida Parveen which is by the way my favourite past times. Here is another beautiful verse from one of our beautiful Sufi poets, Baba Bulley Shah, brought to us by Abida Parveen.

Masjid Dha Day, Mandar Dha day, Dha day jo kuch Dhainda Aay

Par Kisi da dil na Dhaween, Rab Dilan Wich Rehnda Aay

Here is how it translates,

"You can go and demolish the Masjids (Muslims religious place of prayer), you can go and demolish the Mandirs (Hindus religious place of prayer). You can go and demolish anything that comes to your path, but don't demolish/hurt a heart cos God lives in it."

In this day and age of people going against each other because of religion, beliefs and for a lot of the matter politics, dont realize that its the people who suffer. The common man is not happy when anything that disturbs the routine life hinders. If he is unable to provide for his family, can't go to work he is not happy at all. It doesn't matter what goes on around the world if he is unable to get the basic responsibilities done because of the stuff happening around him.

Think again, it doesn't make a damn difference if people go around demolishing the religious places or worldly things when God and His Faith lives within the hearts. Don't break a heart cos God lives within hearts.

    Exactly ... !

    When I read life of Prophet S.A.W.W and the manye events hwen he imelf cleared up piles of conscious dirts; i almost feel like crying. I feel ashamed of our doings being the ummat of him who depite having Alla's willingness was so humble. Here people are ready to kill at such issues :(

    Tolerance level's down to zero. I believe when you start feeling and understanding the depths of Islamic philosophy; everything we do becomes void.
