Guest guest Posted March 3, 2002 Report Share Posted March 3, 2002 This story is being posted in referance of a lot of discussions about the Path and Choices.It may also reveal as to why the teacher (Guru) of an woman asked her to marry a man she did not knew fully well.Since we all are here for a common purpose (love God and realise Him), therefore the story might be helpfull to hint that each individual has his or her special spritual Path.Here goes the story:-<br> "It is said that Hazrat Moosa, a predecessor of the Prophet Mohammad,used to talk to Allah over a hill top near his abode. He used to have long conversationa with Allah and the voice used to come from the sky.Once Hazrat Moosa, while going to that perticuler hill-top, saw a man deeply absorbed in some thought and he was murmering 'O Allah,If you meet me, I would bathe you with fragerant water, dress you nicely and feed you with my own hand...'.Listening to this murmer, hazrat moosa was annoyed because the man was talking "Kufra" and insulting the Divine.He gave him a scorn and promptly asked him to stop saying all that for Allah. The poor fellow, recognising hazrat, begged for excuse and promised not to repeat all that sayings.Then hazrat moosa resumed his journey to the hill-top where he used to listen to sky's voice. That day hazrat waited for a long time, but no voice was heared.haztar retured to his home.Next day too he could not listen to a single world from the sky. The days went by, but he could not have the usual conversation with Allah. Now hazrat became very sad and worried.He kept on begging, crying to hear Allah's voice, but all in vain.One evening, when he was crying in despair at the hill-top, heavely voice came.It said,"Moosa, indeed you are blessed to hear my voice and talk to me;but who conferred you the authority to preach my "banda"(man/woman) as how to love me ?"<br>Hazrat was taken aback, and begged forgiveness, and he was forgiven.(from "How a Mater Works" by Ivy Oneieta Duce.ny1975)<br> Thus an individual is not the same as mass conciousness.Everyone is destined for his or her destiny. May be "marriage" and becoming a 'mother', was only way she could have learned as how to live for others.So let us be above all mental excersises and physical too, and try to lead, not an "ideal" but a "natural" and honest life.In my humble opinion, the Path is as simple as that.But again as Del Carnegi had said,"common sence is one of most uncommon things", being natural and simple might be hard for many.<br>love<br>S.
