Guest guest Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 " Verse 3:81, among many other verses, provides the definitions of " Nabi " (Prophet) and " Rasoul " (Messenger). Thus, " Nabi " is a messenger of God who delivers a new scripture, while " Rasoul " is a messenger commissioned by God to confirm existing scripture; he does not bring a new scripture. According to the Quran, every " Nabi " is a " Rasoul, " but not every " Rasoul " is a " Nabi. " Not every messenger was given a new scripture. It is not logical that God will give a scripture to a prophet, then ask him to keep it exclusively for himself, as stated by some Muslim " scholars " (2:42, 146, 159). Those who are not sufficiently familiar with the Quran tend to think that Aaron was a " Nabi, " as stated in 19:53, who did not receive a scripture. However, the Quran clearly states that the Torah was given specifically " to both Moses and Aaron " (21:48, 37:117). We learn from the Quran, 33:40, that Muhammad was the last prophet (Nabi), but not the last messenger (Rasoul): " Muhammad was not the father of any of your men; he was a messenger (Rasoul) of God and the last prophet (Nabi). " [ 33:40 ] . . . The mission of God's Messenger of the Covenant is to confirm existing scriptures, purify them, and consolidate them into one divine message. The Quran states that such a messenger is charged with restoring God's message to its pristine purity, to lead the righteous believers — Jews, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs, Hindus, and others — out of darkness into the light (5:19 & 65:11). " Mahmoud M. Ayoub World Religions: The Islamic Tradition ---------- " By the token of time (through the Ages), man is in a state of loss, except those who truly believe, act correctly and act together in mutual counsel of Truth and patience' (Al — Asr 103). The Islamic calendar does not start with the birth or the death of a person, but with an event, the migration of believers from oppression to freedom, freedom to practice 'submission to the will of God' in order to attain peace within and around. The advent of Prophet Jesus (Alaih Salaam-peace be upon him) was similarly an epochal event in the history of humankind. The Qur'an calls him a 'sign', a 'mercy', a 'witness' and an 'example'. He is Messiah, Messenger, Prophet, Servant, Word and Spirit of God. The calendar may not be exactly precise but the millennium can serve as an important point of reference in the Divine scheme of message and revelation. And take us into the future. The future is very dear to us. Even if it has not arrived yet, the future is already in our thoughts. On the other hand, the past is a collection of good and bad experience, its use is in shaping the present and shaping the future. . . . Muhammad, (SAWS — Allah's Mercy & Peace be upon him), task, defined in the Qur'an, is to be 'a giver of the glad tidings as well as a warner'. The Our'an reminds us of nations who were destroyed — because they had rebelled and disobeyed — and gives us a glimpse of the life in hereafter of people who do good and who love and obey God. In the scheme of divine revelation, the past, present and the future are one continuum. . . . In Islam service to humanity is a function of their duty towards God. The Qur'an says: 'And from among you there must be a society, community or party that should invite people to all that is good and enjoin the doing of all that is right and forbid the doing of all that is wrong.' (Ali-'Imran, 3:104) In inviting people to goodness and forbidding from the wrong, Muslims will need to join hands with other believers who share a great deal of these values about good and bad and about right and wrong. The conflicts that we witness today are not conflicts between religions, they are conflicts of irreligion. Therefore, those who believe in God and know the right from the wrong — Jews, Christians and Muslims, especially — can join together to build a not a perfect, but an incomparably better world than we live in today: a society of neighbors who are just and fair to each other. The second half of the millennium has seen two world and several local wars. It saw nuclear incineration of entire populations. It invented a savage new crime against humanity: ethnic cleansing. The new millennium ought to be different. Let the people of faith and goodwill work together to turn it into a thousand years of peace and prosperity, love and mutuality. Prophet Muhammad, (SAWS — Allah's Mercy & Peace be upon him), has foretold that 'after many years of bad times, an era will come when humanity will re-commit itself to God and there will be peace and prosperity in the whole world.' On the threshold of the next millennium, Muslims have a duty towards the world and towards the fellow humans. It is their unilateral obligation to invite others, and to work together in building a better and a peaceful world: a world which is free from oppression and exploitation, where rights are a reality and where justice prevails over hypocrisy.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Thank you, Jagbirji, for this highly enlightening article. I have always felt these concepts must be clarified once and for all, but never thought that there would actually be Koranic evidence to support the case of Muslims having misunderstood the idea of prophethood. I think also that Sikhism is where Muslims could learn more about Islam, as it appears to be exactly the way Islam was originally intended (but has failed due to the usurpation of the caliphate and some other issues). Shri Guru Nanak Sahib also told to some pilgrims at Mecca that his teaching about Divine Unity was absolute, whereas theirs was only relative. I think that part of the declaration of the Qiyaamat is educating about these misunderstandings and dispersing the Shabda Jaalam. Young people in the West should be told about Shri Krishna and Shri Rama; they only need to understand that the role-models they seek in their rockstars have been here before and already shown all the paths to proper conduct, and thus no need for confusion. We are the only ones who have the authority and the means to do it these days. And personally I feel an especially strong calling in this particular field and a need to persue the subject. Everything is getting much more exciting these days: I speculate that it is all about discovering our own roles in this drama. Not finding such could be one of the reasons most feel reluctant to speak out about the issue of the Last Judgement. Actually it is about shraddha and buddhi put together. The lack of the former may obscure the latter, I think.

Thou will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, loving those who resist Allah and His Messenger, Even though they were their fathers or their sons, or their brothers or their kindred. For such He has written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with a Spirit from Himself. And he will admit them to Gardens, beneath which Rivers flow, to dwell therein (forever.) Allah will be well pleased with them, and they with Him. They are the Party of Allah. Truly it is the Party of Allah that will achieve Felicity. surah 58:21-22 Al Mujadidah, (The Woman Who Pleads) (Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, 1989.) It is Allah and His messengers of Qiyamah who must prevail for He has written the Faith of the Resurrection in their hearts and strengthened them with a Spirit from Himself. They are the Party of Allah who are announcing the Great Event of Al-Qiyamah and it is this Party of Allah that will prevail over all. Not a single guardian of religious regimes will be able to bestow the Baptism of Allah, upon which the Winds of Resurrection begin to blow immediately from the hands, head, feet and other parts of the Believers and begin to cleanse them in heart, mind and soul. After being strengthened with the Faith of the Resurrection and the Spirit of Allah, they will spearhead the ever-growing Party of Allah who will announce the Great News of Al-Qiyamah to the rest of humanity. But so far this has been not the case, far from it. SYs still do not have the faith and conviction to announce Qiyamah. The Yuvashakti are continuously and deliberately fed enormous amounts of subtle system fast food, instead of Shri Mataji's nourishing milk of Qiyamah and Last Judgment. It is the senior SYs in charge of Yuvashakti who are weaning young SYs of the central message of Sahaja Yoga - Qiyamah and Last Judgment. Instead, at an early age, such self-empowered mentors turn these easily influenced young minds into expert sorcerers and bhootbusters who are embarrassingly fearful of all kinds of imaginary bhoots, badhas and catches. (The divinesahajayoga forum is an excellent example.) Most are engaged in a daily ritual of shoe-beating, chilly- clearing and foot-soaking routine to ward off the endless attack of negativity. So serious is the bhoots-are-attacking-SYs mentality that innovative catch-clearing techniques are invented to ward this evil, a scene not far removed from the Inquisition ere witches inventing potions to ward off bad harvests, or induce pregnancy in barren wombs. Are these bhoot-fearing, negative-infested and catch-plagued youngsters of today going to be the fearless ganas of Shri Ganesha tomorrow? Are they God Almighty's Messengers of the Resurrection must prevail? Is it any wonder why we SYs will be able to spread Shri Mataji's message to just 1% of humanity only by the year 8023? So Furat, you have to take this task of announcing upon yourself. That is the least that is expected by the Divine. jagbir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard it very recently but unfortunately I don`t remember which talk it was ( And a very good treatment for cleaning Mooladhara is ajwan (we burn ajwan on some charcoal to make a lot of smoke and sit over it saying Ganesha Atharvasirsha (could be four times). It is a very strong treatment dissipating all the clouds overwrapping our Mooladhara Chakra. And we do it for nine nights. I sometimes do it together with fotsoaking. After that nine sessions one can feel slight changing in the one`s averness. Very interesting. But sitting on the Mother Earth and saying Ganesh Atharvasirsh is also very powerful and efficient. Love Hania divinesahajayoga/message/998 -------------- Dear readers, This is the first time i am hearing that we have to do this ritual for NINE NIGHTS! My wife was told to do this ritual 9 years ago to rid her mooladhara of lusty bhoots. i was disgusted that sensible and educated people had to listen to such rubbish. Does anyone realize how ridiculous wives look when they have to go to a ladies-only basement and smoke out these perverted bhoots? Are SY wives so randy that they need such rituals to rid their mooladhara of nympho bhoots? And now SY females have to do it for nine nights. NINE NIGHTS? My wife and myself have talked many times about those in charge of SY collectives, their ritualistic mentality and ignorant arrogance. The only reason we believed and stayed, and that also with much difficulty, is that our children kept telling us that Shri Mataji is the Adi Shakti in their Sahasraras. We have had so many unpleasant experiences with ignorant self-appointed 'leaders' and mentors that there would have been no way we would have remained under any other circumstances - absolutely no way. By the way, who wants to join SY collective so infested with bhoots and negativity that they have to daily fight off these evil entities with an endless ritual of shoe-beating, chakra-clearing, chilli & lemon treatments, matkas? ............. and now nine nights of smoking bhoots who somehow manage to overwrap the mooladhara! Is this one of the reasons why 99% of perfectly sane newcomers flee Sahaja Yoga? jagbir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Brazil it's easy to have earthern pots, but it's not cheap and it's almost produced as an utensil for spiritism african religions, as I guess happens in Africa. We learned that an earthern pot carries Mother Earth properties, sucking and caging up the badhas untill you throw them into the river or sea, where they are definetely finished. But, we largely use plastic and paper bags, and it's very efficient! We do not throw plastic into the water because of polution, we prefer paper bags. If we have to use plastic, we throw out lemmons and chillis turning the bag inside out, without looking at it. After we throw the plastic bag in a dustbin. Some like to keep the " paper bag matka " inside a plastic bag within the seven nights, because lemmons can tear the paper. Hanna, we use red chillis, small or big ones that are easily found here. After vibrating all things we never get all that stuff back before Mother. The matka is kept closed under the bed or hidden elsewhere. We open the matka if we are going to sleep during the day, within the seven nights period. It's said that it works every time one is sleeping. If we wake up in the middle of a nightmare or with bad dreams, we take the bad vibrations around our head or body with the hands and throw it inside the open matka, never looking at it. When lemmons and chillis get rotten before the seventh night, it means they lost their absorbing capacity, so we throw them away and begin another 7 nights period. I heard about a deep yogini who did matka one after another for an entire year period!!! I guess we don't need to do that, but two or three are very good if you're suffering a lot with badhas.

One day we can have a seminar either at a Puja or online where sy from the early days could tell us what they were told in the beginning. At least with us the extras don't do any harm. but to buy a new mattress every time you do a treatment can work out very expensive. ps whenever we hear of any new treatments that new people are doing that we know are wrong we try are best to gently tell them that what they are doing may need some changing. fergy divinesahajayoga/message/979 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are catching on the left void or left swadistan you should do candling. Find out where are you weak? Why have you that catch? What did you do in the day, what thoughts were you having? If someone has his left swadisthan, left nabhi and left agnya catching and they are not behaving normally, the person is likely to have been possessed. To cure a person from this left side problem, three candle treatment, camphouring and matka treatment are recommend.#If a person has to go to a negative place, they should always take a bandhan and keep vibrated lemons and chilies in their pocket. This will keep them protected from all the negativity and one is only attacked on chakras that are weak in oneself anyway. One leader stayed in ganapatipule for ten days. Although she was never normally sick, she was very ill at the time and had to be given plenty of bandhans and shoe-beats. She was shouting and disturbing everybody. She may have been ill because she talked to someone and took in his negativity. We can catch it just from talking to someone who was a folloewer of Raj Neesh. One girl was allways insisting: " I'll never marry, I`ll don`t want marry in my life " , than after she came to SY all that changed. It means that you should allways think in a positive way. You can change you mind anytime - you have a lot of changes of mind- first you have your house one color and then you change it to another. What will all this come to? It shouldn`t be like that.It should come from the heart. Today , I'm going to talk about a very important thing. You should observe it. You should have this training. Thank God for technology, so that anyone who tries to start their own SY or pervert it - we have proof. The point is: you should meditate properly. Question: What are GHOSTS? Answer -YM: dead spirits. It`s believed they kill each other. When they go in you, you may have some infection or some diseases. Q: Are they good? YM: they cann`t be, they are evil. If you don`t listen to God , you go against Him and God punishes you by sending bhoots. In many places there are earthquakes and cyclones. In latour they are always happening. God can punish you in this way, if you go against Him. But in Latour the whole village was damaged but the SY houses were still standing, untouched. You have the awareness. You should keep in mind morning untille vening waht you did and to whom did you talk- to see why you are catching. Question: Can you say something about the ekadesha rudras? YM: If the left side is catching then the person is heading for already cancer. It`s one of most destructive forces. It can work positively on other people and us as well. It`s a power that is working now more than ever before. Close your eyes and pray to SM....feel your heart spreading outwards. ----- Dear readers, The above is supposed to be an extract from the May 2000 SY Public School magazine of a talk given by Yogi Mahajan at the SY Public School. At that time he was still in Sahaja Yoga but was subsequently told to leave by Shri Mataji. What horrified me is his false, fear-inducing advise to young, easily influenced innocent minds: " Question: What are GHOSTS? Answer -YM: dead spirits. It`s believed they kill each other. When they go in you, you may have some infection or some diseases. Q: Are they good? YM: they cann`t be, they are evil. If you don`t listen to God , you go against Him and God punishes you by sending bhoots. " i have no idea how many children were influenced by him over the years, but the number must be considerable since for more than a decade SYs considered him a highly realized soul who wielded considerable power and influence. But somehow his ghost still seems to haunt our young. After all, what makes them admire " a deep yogini who did matka one after another for an entire year period " !!!? Isn't it time genuine, deep SYs realize what is happening to the next generation of our children who are supposed to fearlessly announce Shri Mataji's proclaimation of the Last Judgment and Resurrection? jagbir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absence of Shraddha (absolute faith in God) can Mar one's life and bring him closer to behaving like an animal. Absolute faith in God is a must for all Yogis, Sadhus and Saints. Negation of shraddha can lead one to a wrong path. It can give boost to one's ego which unless eliminated by subduing self to God, can never been melted and withered out. There is only one temple ... your body. Only one occupant can live in it. Either their lives an unbreakable trust in God or your ego. Stresses and tensions result when both try to live simultaneously and that too without maintaining equipoise. Ego propels the physical self, shraddha the eternal self. It is unto you what you desire in life. The best of scientists and engineers have failed to understand this Cosmic phenomenon for they see all from the eyes of their bloated ego. Result ... they all see one aspect of the issue never arriving at the right conclusion. Einstein was the only exception in the Western world. He wanted to penetrate the veil of ego and farther into the domain of God resulting in his developing the theory of Relativity. This theory of relativity gives one a feeling that if we are able to travel faster than the speed of light one day, we shall be able to travel backwards in time and reach the point of start much before our starting time. Such a concept can be best arrived in theory but it would never be put to practice for God, the Creator never meant it so. Traveling faster than the speed of light bodily would always remain a dream for scientists and engineers. For a true Yogi ... the truth is totally opposite. He knows ... that Atman (the soul within) is always and ever free to roam the whole Brahmaand (Cosmos). The speed with which Atman travels is much greater than the speed of light and can reach Infinity depending upon the level of purity achieved in manifested life. Can you ever start an engine at 99 degrees centigrade. Unless water boils to hundred degrees centigrade and steam gets generated, the engine can never start whatever maybe the effort. Generate your efforts to hundred degrees and you shall be on the correct path, a path only cherished by experienced and truthful Yogis. It is real simple to tread the path of untruthfulness, deceit and conceit. Following the path traversed by Man Gods like Mahavira, Buddha, Jesus Christ and prophet Mohammed is a mighty task indeed. Only full Shraddha in God can pave the way for you. You may practice any amount of penance but deliverance would be made only when you pray with full faith (shraddha) in God. So many go to the temple everyday. Only few have their aspirations fulfilled. Why so! To maintain full faith is difficult as one may lose faith in God due to many reasons. The sudden death of your beloved son, father, mother, daughter, husband or wife may diminish or altogether reduce your faith in God and you may turn an atheist. Many instances of the kind can be found in the society. We blame God for we truly do not try to understand his domain and actions. Can we ever blame God for the death of our beloved one. Death is always and ever dependent upon the karma of an individual being. God always remains unattached and is only an observer of his creation. He never interferes. You reap as you sow. A mango tree shall always bear mangos. Why expect the incomprehensible. Pray to God sincerely, have full faith in him you shall be delivered. --------------- Buddhi Buddhi (Sanskrit, " intellect " ) in Sanskrit (Hindu) literature is the higher mental faculty, the instrument of knowledge, discerment, and decision. Buddhi is comprehended slightly different in different philosophical systems. On the whole, it contrasts with manas, mind, whose province is ordinary consciousness and the connection of atman with the senses. Buddhi, however, is a higher faculty that acts in sense percepts organized by manas and furnishes intellectual discrimination, determination, reason, and will. As such buddhi is at the very core of one's being, as sentient creatures, and the closest mental faculty to the atman, real Self or spirit. In Samkhya-yoga philosophy, buddhi (or mahat, " the great one " ) plays a key role. Buddhi is the first principle derived from unmanifest, prakrti (and predominant in sattva guna, ( " intellectual stuff " ), virtually transparent reflector for pure consciousness (purusa), with which buddhi mistakenly identifies. With this mistaken identification with the conscious principle, a fall into ignorance, buddhi produces the next principle, ahamkara, which in turn produces manas. The three together make up the " internal instrument, " or antahkarana. For salvation, buddhi must attain the discriminative discernment between itself as unconscious matter, prahrti, and the independent and transcendent principle of pure consciousness, purusa. ---------------- Furat, i believe you are right about the lack of shraddha obscuring the buddhi. It is only when one understand their meanings is it possible to comprehend how they work together to strengthen the believers. i have also just reached the awareness that there is no need to waste time and energy on proving anything to SYs, a task that has sapped much energy over the last few years. We are the messengers of Qiyamah and have to tirelessly devote all our energies and life just announcing the Last Judgment and Resurrection. There is just no need to fight the negativity from SYs who put obstacles, or even denounce the few who have decided to openly declare Shri Mataji's message to humanity. It is the rest of humankind that must be delivered the message and since only 0.00005% have been told so far, this is truly a massive task. But as you have said: " We are the only ones who have the authority and the means to do it these days. " We are just to announce and that is all. If anyone does not believe, there is no need to convince him or her. Shri Mataji has provided ample irrefutable proof and if humans choose not to accept, even ridicule or defy, just let them go free. There is no need to persuade them or do anything else. They are already subject to the Last Judgment and Al-Qiyamah by the mere announcement. And in the Hereafter they will be asked: " O ye assembly of Jinns and men! Came there not unto you messengers from amongst you, setting forth unto you My Signs, and warning you of the meeting of this day of yours? " Qur'an 6.130-13 May none deny in the Hereafter that they were not aware of messengers on Earth like you and me setting forth God Almighty's Signs of Al-Qiyamah and warning all to surrender to His Call that the Resurrection and Last Judgment has begun! Those who surrender to His Call WILL ask for self-realization and WILL take part on their own free will. Wa maa alainaa illa al- balaagh — there is nothing upon us except to convey (the truth). It is just that simple Furat. And if only a handful are willing to announce so be it. jagbir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
