THE SUFISM MESSAGES, SUFI MESSAGE &
Sufi Message Dargah Ajmer
Sharif, Rajasthan,
India
Man’s greatest need today
is for the exploration of
the human personality, in order to find there the latent inspiration
and power upon which to build the whole structure of his life. For
life means not only to live, but to ennoble oneself and reach that
perfection which is the innate yearning of the soul. The solution to
the problem of the day is the awakening of the consciousness of
humanity to the divinity of man. The undertone of all religions is
the realization of the one life which culminates in the thought of
unity.
The
work of the Sufi message is to spread the unity of religion. It is
not a mission to promote a particular creed or any Church or
religion; it is a work to unite the followers of different religions
and faiths in wisdom, so that without having to give up their own
religion they may strengthen their own faith and focus the true
light upon it. In this way a greater trust, a greater confidence
will be established in mankind.
When
the message of God has been given to the world, there was a certain
peculiarity in the way it was presented to the world because every
messenger was made fit for his own time, and his message suited to
that particular time. But behind it all there is one Truth, and one
Divine Wisdom in all religions.
In
reality the message comes from one source and that is God, and under
whatever name the wise gave that message it was not their message,
but the message of God. Those whose hearts had eyes to see and ears
to hear, have known and seen the same messenger, because they have
received the message. And those whose hearts had no eyes or ears
have taken the messenger to be important and not the message. But at
whatever period that message came and in whatever form the message
was given, it was always that one message, the message of wisdom.
The
message, whenever and at whatever period it came to the world, did
not come to a certain section of humanity; it did not come to raise
only some few people who perhaps accepted the faith, the message, or
a particular organized church. No, all these things came afterwards.
The rain does not fall in a certain land only; the sun does not
shine upon a certain country only. All that is from God is for all
souls. If they are worthy, they deserve it as their reward; if they
are unworthy, they are the more entitled to it. Verily, blessing is
for every soul; for every soul, whatever soul, whatever be his faith
or belief, belongs to God.
What
is the message of Sufism? Sufism is the message of digging out that
water like life which has been buried by the impressions of this
material life. There is an English phrase, "a lost soul". The soul
is not lost; the soul is buried; when it is dug out then the divine
life springs out like a spring of water.
The
message is not for one nation, race, or community; it is for the
whole of humanity. Its one and only object is to bring about a
better understanding between the divided sections of humanity by
awakening their consciousness to the fact that humanity is one
family.
What
is religion? Religion is a lesson which teaches the manner of living
right and reaching the object for which we are born. This religion
has come time after time to the world, through those who have
brought the message of God. Those who came with this message of
religion have given it in diverse forms, in accordance with the
evolution of the people at that particular time, but the religion
was one and the same. There never has been any other religion than
one, for God is one, truth is one, and so religion is one. If there
is any difference, it is a difference of form, not of the soul. It
is the same water, pure water, perhaps filled in several pitchers.
One pitcher is made in India, the other in China, the other in
Arabia, perhaps the other in the western world. It is like a stream
which comes through the fountain and falls in various streams, but
it is one and the same stream.
Those who have benefited by the life and the Message of the Divine
Message Bearers are not necessarily the followers of their Message,
but the imitators of their life; for they have not followed the
teaching only, but followed the Teacher, who is the living example
of his teaching. All the ancient traditions of the religious
evolution tell us how those around the Prophets have benefited by
the imitation, rather than by following the strict laws and by
arguing upon the differences between the laws.
What
is true will sound itself in every heart, sooner or later. Whether
the heart is not ready yet, or little ready, or fully ready, as the
sound will re-echo through a gong, so the truth will echo through
hearts. The Message of God is the Truth that must echo sooner or
later through the heart, and no claims, no proclamation, no
recommendations, no pleadings will make anything true which is not
true.
The
Sufi Message...does not bring theories or doctrines to add to those
already existing, which puzzle the human mind. What the world needs
today is the message of love, harmony, and beauty, the absence of
which is the only tragedy of life. The Sufi Message does not give a
new law. It wakens in humanity the spirit of brotherhood, with
tolerance on the part of each for the religion of the other, and
with forgiveness from each for the fault of the other. It teaches
thoughtfulness and consideration, so as to create and maintain
harmony in life; it teaches service and usefulness, which alone can
make life in the world fruitful and in which lies the satisfaction
of every soul.
The
Sufi Message is not a Message of a particular creed, it is the
Message of understanding life better. And the question how can one
attain to it, is to be answered that it is not one day's work, or
two days’ work. It is the work of a whole life.
The
Message is to make man conscious of the words in the Bible, where it
is said "We live and move and have our being in God", to realize
this and recognize the brotherhood of humanity in the realization of
God.
The
Message is a call to those whose hour has come to awake, and it is a
lullaby to those who are still meant to sleep.
