[Guest guest]

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.
