That is Love. Life comes from love, whether you believe it to be God’s love, nature's, or accidental. It is from Love. I would like to thank each one of you, those associated with IntuitiveHub, Whispers2Reflections, WaveStudio & QuantumHub, for the passion and sacrifices you all bring to a collective cause. May you all be blessed with every prosperity, and find me obliged always. As this movement progresses, the realization that we require literature identifying our direction or at the very least some basic guidelines for the larger framework, has lead me to write this first memo. From time to time, as needs may dictate, you would Godwilling receive these memos from my end. OF KNOWLEDGE: We all have this excited tendency of finding everything we wish to be associated with (whether an idea, or an act) to be the best. From the certifications one aspires towards, to companies, religions, familial tribes or even nations as an example. “We are the best”. “We will do the best…”. I could be wrong as always, but I feel thoughts & sentences beginning with prideful absolutes set us up for shameful failures. Absolutes are based on definite knowledge. While statements as above might work well for marketing or political causes, what knowledge can I actually claim with honesty? AS A A D @A S A A D S H U B.COM 1 A SA A DR I A Z . CO M َ‫و‬،ٍَّ ‫ال َّلهُمَّ َص ِّلع َلَىم ٍَُّدمحوَع َلَىآلِم ٍَّ َُدمحامك َصل َّيْ َتع َلَىإِ ْربَاهِيمَوَع َلَىآلِإِ ْربَاهِيمَإِن َّكَ َحمِيدٌم َجِيدٌال َّلهُمَّبَارِكْع َلَىم‬ ‫ُدمحع َلَىآلِم ٍَّ َُدمحبَاامكرَك ْ َتع َلَىإِ ْربَاهِيمَوَع َلَىآلِإِ ْربَاهِيمَإِن َّكَ َحمِيدٌم َجِي ٌد‬ F R O M T H E PE N O F A S A A D R IA Z For if it rains not in a region for a 1,000 days and nights - can I with certainty in absolutes say it shall not rain on the thousandth and first also? I may speak in terms of odds of probability of the event occurring to be less than a thousandth of a percent but no more. The experience of repetitive events does not necessitate its untrues occurrence, only can infer a higher likelihood of happening. Our brains have a tendency- as our minds are very much relative to the physical space time dimensions, hence they tend - to convince us that the current repetitive pattern we see is permanent and reality. Usually in such times, the real self is silent, yet still present. It is only after, that we have allowed our minds to convince us of this permanence, that the self is silent for good. I know nothing, I only make discreet judgements to the relations I observe, unveiled in my perceptive reality along my journey. For a feces worm finds his heaven in that waste. And yet, it is in that perceptive heaven or hell, that it must observe, perceive, learn, and finally necessitate it’s will to power, so that it may overcome the current nature of its identity; so, that it may, elevate, perish, and anew the expression in unveiling of it’s existence. OF HUMILITY: Humbleness is the very necessity of existence, as the very thought that 'I know' destroys and limits the capabilities of actual or real learning/knowledge. Our refusal to entertain another opinion or the denial of an extrinsic thought curtails the limits to our growth and improvement; which in essence are one and the same. How we stay entangled in the self woven web of social courtesies and gestures or norms, each act to please, impress or convince another. 2 َ‫و‬،ٍَّ ‫ال َّلهُمَّ َص ِّلع َلَىم ٍَُّدمحوَع َلَىآلِم ٍَّ َُدمحامك َصل َّيْ َتع َلَىإِ ْربَاهِيمَوَع َلَىآلِإِ ْربَاهِيمَإِن َّكَ َحمِيدٌم َجِيدٌال َّلهُمَّبَارِكْع َلَىم‬ ‫ُدمحع َلَىآلِم ٍَّ َُدمحبَاامكرَك ْ َتع َلَىإِ ْربَاهِيمَوَع َلَىآلِإِ ْربَاهِيمَإِن َّكَ َحمِيدٌم َجِي ٌد‬ F R O M T H E PE N O F A S A A D R IA Z '; !"$# &% '() *!)+'-, ./ , , 6, 'A# , 32 '54 !+'-, ) ** !)67'8, ) 9 : +$, <=# 9 >?@'1 % 0'1 “Apart from humility, slavery and helplessness, naught is allowed but consideration in The Presence.” OF UNINTENDED INSENSITIVITY: One should not state a generalized form of expression as ‘Whatever happens is only for the best; or because as we sowed; or deserved this or this’. That may indeed be the case in essence, but not in an altruistic nature of the relative expression. For take an example of the experience of a child being robbed unjustly of his family’s life, not only orphaned, but also realizing a lifelong scarring of trauma. Regardless of the Infinite Wisdoms balance or justice behind allowing the observation of such an unfolding, the said and similar expressions do not seem like a fair selection or representation of that what is the case, or its connexion to probable fact. Those struggling with suicidal thoughts probably require a more accepting and understanding approach than a callous statement of vague encouragement. ON JUDGMENTS: They say opposites attract, but also like attracts like. Death attracts death and life attracts life. The negative wants balance with the positive and so on. As I have no understanding of absolutes, as I have no claim to knowledge - how can I judge another? I have no sight of seeing things beyond isolated instances, then how may I simply categorize the judgement of the most dynamic existence I have seen that of the human individual, in terms of good and evil? For all things attract each other; for all things are one. Let us look towards The Light, and turn away from the dark Demons2Despair. If the knock on one door does not provide you with an answer, or in fact, provides you with one contrary to your beliefs expectations; why become desperate? 3 َ‫و‬،ٍَّ ‫ال َّلهُمَّ َص ِّلع َلَىم ٍَُّدمحوَع َلَىآلِم ٍَّ َُدمحامك َصل َّيْ َتع َلَىإِ ْربَاهِيمَوَع َلَىآلِإِ ْربَاهِيمَإِن َّكَ َحمِيدٌم َجِيدٌال َّلهُمَّبَارِكْع َلَىم‬ ‫ُدمحع َلَىآلِم ٍَّ َُدمحبَاامكرَك ْ َتع َلَىإِ ْربَاهِيمَوَع َلَىآلِإِ ْربَاهِيمَإِن َّكَ َحمِيدٌم َجِي ٌد‬ F R O M T H E PE N O F A S A A D R IA Z For there is an infinitude of doors that let alone knocking on, one has not even imagined the possibilities of its existence. OF UNCOMPROMISING: Today is my last day. If I truly believe it to be my last day, there are a lot of unpaid dues that I must return to nature, before Returning to Nature. So, given the finiteness of the available time - I must give a 100% to each act that comes along the way. If I do not, I have once again dug the endless pit for my own fall to delusions. I shall give you, with the Permission of Whose Hands hold my soul, my fullest. He has provided us with each and every resource we may imagine to execute any idea of a constructive nature. It is now our hunger that determines what we consume. With ~20 million unique individuals just in Karachi, ~180+ million in Pakistan, and the ~7.5+ billion unique and beautiful individuals across the globe - each body containing the Soul of The Creator, we must not waste a single moment in hope. Hope shall lead to disappointment. It is in belief that I already have been provided with every required resource for any dream or thought that I may will to potentially realize. If today you bring your 99%, do something else this day that you shall give your 100% to. Each day we lose, leads to the potential threat of a loss of a fellow family member. Depression, especially that leading to suicide is a demon that no individual should fight alone. Why the firm uncompromising attitude? For if you try and teach me something, and I insist on the claim that I believe you are blessing my heart with true wisdom, however, all I attempt to do is simply hum out with a little (twist?) back n’ forth; repeating simply your words with no understanding or honest intent to benefit in applications - then, would you not find the repetition of your words as mockery? 4 َ‫و‬،ٍَّ ‫ال َّلهُمَّ َص ِّلع َلَىم ٍَُّدمحوَع َلَىآلِم ٍَّ َُدمحامك َصل َّيْ َتع َلَىإِ ْربَاهِيمَوَع َلَىآلِإِ ْربَاهِيمَإِن َّكَ َحمِيدٌم َجِيدٌال َّلهُمَّبَارِكْع َلَىم‬ ‫ُدمحع َلَىآلِم ٍَّ َُدمحبَاامكرَك ْ َتع َلَىإِ ْربَاهِيمَوَع َلَىآلِإِ ْربَاهِيمَإِن َّكَ َحمِيدٌم َجِي ٌد‬ F R O M T H E PE N O F A S A A D R IA Z Is it then a non-believer truly mocking the book you undeniably claim to be the Spoken Word of the Creator of the Universes?; or is it, When you turn it simply into a gesture of hymns and songs, something to decorate your aesthetic and mental peace with - do you not think that you may be, without possible realization or intent, mocking the Infinite Wisdom? OF GENDER-EQUALITY: And why equality? Why should men and women be equal? Is that all the aspiration of the women of today? Have you ever seen one of a serious science such as physics compare their branch to an experimentally weaker one as psychology or history?; No, of course not? Pity the individual that denies their own individuality. Denies the unleashing, discovering, destructing and creating, destructing their own individuality. The further you hope and aim to see, the further you see. Why always the comparison? To relate to another similarity, and hope to mould your own impression in the reflective reality of another? Why even institutionalize existence into a gender also? Why not, just be, who you are, to be? For gender roles can thought to be not much different than that of the roles of bodily organs and needs; yes, they may seem as weaknesses; hunger, sleep etc; but, they all serve a purpose in deciphering in to the readings of the obvious overflowing signs. The role of a mother may seem irrelevant from the petty comparison of gender relative positions, but in its own reflection is the purest of responsibilities that impresses the extension of ones own love for existence through all sorts of strifes and struggles, is it not? IMPORTANT: Roles and genders should mean nothing at all in our circle. It is the intended acts of individual merits that should be acknowledged and recognized with no concern for gender, age, religion, culture, race, or any such discriminatory categorizations. 5 َ‫و‬،ٍَّ ‫ال َّلهُمَّ َص ِّلع َلَىم ٍَُّدمحوَع َلَىآلِم ٍَّ َُدمحامك َصل َّيْ َتع َلَىإِ ْربَاهِيمَوَع َلَىآلِإِ ْربَاهِيمَإِن َّكَ َحمِيدٌم َجِيدٌال َّلهُمَّبَارِكْع َلَىم‬ ‫ُدمحع َلَىآلِم ٍَّ َُدمحبَاامكرَك ْ َتع َلَىإِ ْربَاهِيمَوَع َلَىآلِإِ ْربَاهِيمَإِن َّكَ َحمِيدٌم َجِي ٌد‬ F R O M T H E PE N O F A S A A D R IA Z For the age of society is over, the gods of cultures are dead; now arises the age of man, the individual, the age of Rabbi, my Lord. OF FAILURES: Each one of my blessed failures has taught me what ought not to be done. Reflective, yes, rather than perceptive; but it has affirmed my belief in what ought to be done. If nature is consistently creating then surely my purpose cannot be about rest and simple luxury, for nature I am a part of that very nature of creation. It is continuously traveling with a forwarding escape velocity in a loop of creation through destruction both a simile for one and the same. Continuous creative activity! I am not talking to your nations, societies, neighborhoods, countries, laws, rules, groups etc; let the rabble be and drink from a common pool, binding the infection of their poisons there. I am speaking to you, the individual, that is lonely, in a world full of the animal-men; from the highest of the pools, pure from any poisons or impurities, shall you drink the flow of life. Be grateful that you have been miserable; for if you did not suffer from the diseases of the common pool, why should you seek its antidote? The antidote to all diseases. The overcoming of all your becomings. The imitation of The Creators reality as a creator yourself in the reflective reality. For all is one, and a drop of an ocean, is also the ocean.
