I want to write on the topic of “life has four seasons, but three already passed”.a
When I started to write, this sufi quote attribute to Sultan Bhu came to into my mind
īmān salāmat har koī mañge ishq salāmat koī hū
jis manzal nuuñ ishq pahuñchāve īmān ḳhabar na koī hū
mañgan īmān sharmāvan ishqoñ dil nuuñ ġhairat hoī hū
ishq salāmat rakkhīñ ‘āhū’ deyāñ īmān dharoī hū
یمان سلامت ہر کوئی منگے
عشق سلامت کوئی ھُو
منگن ایمان، شرماون عشقوں،
دل نوں غیرت ہوئی ھُو
جس منزل نوں عشق پہنچائے،
ایمان خبر نہ کوئی ھُو
میرا عشق سلامت رکھیں باھوؒ،
ایمانوں دیاں دھروئی ھُو
life has four seasons, three already passed mean, life is short, only we have to live in short of period of time.
There is biblical ledgend that longest lived man was Phrophet Noah. It said that he has near thousand year long life.
On god order, angel of death came to him take his soul back. He was prophet, he understand who is visitor, When angel of Death came, he was working in fields and that hot summer day. He asked angel of death, give me a few minute let me go and sit under the shadow of tree near by. Angel of death let him go. When he sat in shadow, and angel of death reach him to take his soul. Noah said to him, I found life as short as I was it was distance between a person who standing under sun and go under the shadow of tree.
Life is really short. We have to understand our purpose of life. Every one has different purpose of his life. Its up to us what we decided, what we want to do. In Dubai, while meeting with different people. I meet the Bangladeshi person. He used the word “ I saye app ko kush milaye gee”. It will make you happy. The purpose of life is what’s make you happy.
I am not religious person, other wise I told you that purpose of life is to worship of God. Actually he was saying what he thinks and works on his purpose of life.
Three season already passed. What we have enjoy that. We can enjoy present moment only when we make peace with ourselves.
Sufi did not believe in past. Sufi did not believe in future. Past can not be change. Future is not yet coming. We have only one season. That is present moment. To enjoy present moment we have to accept what we did in past. We are result of our past action. What we did yesterday we are facing it result. Now is the only time, only season, what we are doing today, we will face its result tomorrow.
Life is like day tight compartment. like ship standing in sea, water in all side. if we open the door of past, we will fill it with sorrow, regrets and guilt of miss opportunity . If we open the door of future, we will get worries, tension and anxiety . It is last season we are living in. Just it is. Make it beautiful. Do what we like, do what makes future beautiful.
