I read the book from Qasir abbas. Main Ishaq or Woh.
After that my understanding of sufi peotry is started to change. Why these sufi couplet from 100 or years.
Something inside it. people love it. These couplet have some deep meaning. We translate or try to understand it according to our perception about life. Some thoughts they talk about god. Some times they talk about some lost love.
While travelling to office, I am not using mobile. Most of people I saw using whats app or wathcing movies on youtube or ticktock. That 30 minutes I started to observe my environment. Start to living in present moment. And the same time, My mind start to think. who am I. What I am doing. How I can improve my work. How things will be better in my life.
Couplet of baba bulleh shah came to my mind.
Ik Alif parho chutkara hayee.
Muslim consider Alif is for Allah. The first alphabet of Urdu, hindi, farsi. But some sufi saints talk Alif for Ishaq. they did not start Ishaq with Eyen Alphbat. They started Ishaq with Ialif. In arabic. Alif is used for First alphabet. But some they used Alif for infinite or million.
I am not going to discuss this as word used for Allah or not go into religious discussion.
I am considering it one task at time. When you doing something just focus one task at hand. If you did not have focus on one task. Possible you lost. In million task. Every task become distraction for other.
So Baba Bulleh shah, talks about one thought at time. Focus one idea at time. Focus on one thing at time.
Ik Alif pharo chuttkara hayee.
Means, if you want to achieve something or true liberation from stress. Pick one task and complete it. Forget about all other task.
One by one you finish all task. But the Idea of one is amazing.
Everything starts form one. It means, if you deliver something successfully, more work starts to appear.
Maktab ishaq a dastoor nirala dakah,
Usye chuti naa mili jis naye sabaq yaad kaya.
Interesting. What I learn from professional career. That When you do and complete some task with full concentration and able to close it or finish it. More work start to appear.
Ik Alif Pharo Chukkraa hayee.
Take the name of One. You will be liberated.
