PRETENCE - THRIFT and THEFT ... ریا کاری ۔ سوداگری اور چوری ۔ ۔ ۔

Salam and Duaien . . .

Friends, the story being shared looks out of place, odd and unreal, because as Allama had exclaimed:

 سلطانی بھی عیاری ہے، درویشی بھی عیاری

بازار لگا ہے:۔

کرامات بکتی ہیں

خرافات بکتی ہیں

جھوٹ ڈنکے کی چوٹ پر بولا جاتا ہے

چوروں کو، عیاروں کو، غد اروں کو سونے میں تولا جاتا ہے

میرا جسم میری مرضی ہے

میرا ایمان خود غرضی ہے

ذہنی اور روحانی بیمار دوسروں کو ’شفا‘ دیتے ہیں

قابلِ دوا اور دعا دکان سجا کے تعویذ و دعا دیتے ہیں

حرام و حلال کی تمیز دفن ہوئ

غریب کی آخرت بے گور و کفن ہوئ

چار سُو ’سب کچھ فروشی‘  و ریاکاری ہے

زندگی انسانیت پہ بہت بھاری ہے

Yet share I must ... Maybe people like THE MAN of the story existed ... Maybe its the figment of the imagination ... Maybe it is TRUE ... Leaving aside all the maybes, the story has definite moral ... KEEP DOING GOOD ... ABHOR PRETENCES ... REWARD or AWARD IS ALWAYS INBUILT ... AND ’غیرت اللہ کریم کو پسند ہے‘.

The Story goes:-

Many years ago, there lived A MAN who was capable of LOVING and FORGIVING everyone he came across. Because of this, God sent an angel to talk to him; 

‘God asked me to come and visit you and tell you that HE wishes to reward you for your goodness,’ said the angel. ‘YOU MAY HAVE ANY GIFT YOU WISH FOR. Would you like the gift of healing?’ 

‘CERTAINLY NOT,’ said the man. ‘I would prefer God to choose those who should be healed.’  

‘And what about leading sinners back to the path of Truth?’ 

‘That’s a job for angels like you. I DON'T WANT TO BE VENERATED BY ANYONE OR TO SERVE AS A PERMANENT EXAMPLE.’ 

‘Look, I can’t go back to Heaven without having given you a miracle. If you don’t choose, I’ll have to choose one for you.’ Said the Angel ...

The man thought for a moment and then said:

‘All right, I WOULD LIKE GOOD TO BE DONE THROUGH ME, BUT WITHOUT ANYONE NOTICING, NOT EVEN ME, IN CASE I SHOULD COMMIT THE SIN OF VANITY.’ 

So the angel arranged for the man’s shadow to have the power of healing, but only when the sun was shining on the man’s face. In this way, wherever he went, the sick were healed, the earth grew fertile again, and sad people rediscovered happiness.

The man traveled the Earth for many years, oblivious of the miracles he was working because when he was facing the sun, his shadow was always behind him. In this way, he was able to live and die unaware of his own holiness.

Maybe THERE ARE ... SOMEWHERE ... Love to meet one if ...
