ISLAM

[Extracts from Bhagavan

Baba's Discourses]

Islam is a word, which denotes not a particular

religion but a state of mind, the state of total surrender to the Will of God.

Islam means dedication, surrender, peace, tranquility. Islam denotes the social

community whose members have achieved supreme peace through surrender to the

All Merciful, All Powerful God and who have vowed to live in peace with their

fellowmen. Islam directed attention to the One in Many, the Unity in Diversity

and led people to the Reality named God.

Islam gives importance to the moon, which

regulates the months. The Quran lays down that all men should cultivate the

sense of unity, of interdependence, of selfless love and of immanence of

Divinity. Islam prescribes food for the spiritual nature of man and directs

that it be taken five times a day as prayer. Prayer in Islam is also a

congregational activity. Islam promises a greater flow of ecstasy when God is

adored by a huge concourse of yearning hearts. Islam teaches that God's grace

can be won through justice and righteous living; wealth, scholarship and power

cannot earn it.
