Yes, I love I

It is possible that this post is based on the translations and commentaries of Islamic texts like Quran, Hadiths etc. as published by all major Islamic publishing sources. These are the publicly available translations that are used for promotion of Islam by prominent representatives.

We, however, believe that most of these texts have been wrongly translated, misinterpreted, misquoted or even have been tampered with and interpolated to suit the selfish designs of proponents of Islam after Muhammad. Thus, we believe that original Islam and original Quran of Muhammad are totally different from what have been propagated by his followers in name of Islam. There are few minority groups in Muslims whose scholars subscribe to our views and interpret/translate Islamic texts differently or even refuse to consider the available Quran and Hadiths as authentic. But these scholars themselves are considered Kafirs and are condemned by a dominant elite group of Islam. Thus, when we refer to Islam, we actually imply these dominant elites of Islam and not Muslims or all Islamic scholars in general.

Wherever we critically evaluate Muhammad, we imply the fictitious Muhammad propagated by these false texts or their wrong translations and not the original Muhammad. We have high regard for original Muhammad who stood for non-violence and tolerance. Similarly, when we analyze Islamic texts, we refer to these questionable translations/versions and NOT original texts.

Further, we have a sense of the highest level of brotherhood for Muslims in general. Wherever we use the word Muslim in a critical manner, it refers to false representatives of Islam and not Muslims in general. Readers are requested to keep this in mind to understand the correct perspective of such posts on this website.

Nowhere should they assume the words like Islam, Quran, Prophet etc. to be referring to original noble entities, unless it has been referred in a positive light. We restrict ourselves only to notions prevalent in minds of fanatics and those without reason.

इस पूरी वेबसाईट में जहाँ भी ‘इस्लाम’ वा ‘मुसलमान’ वा पैग़म्बर आदि मज़हबी शब्दों का प्रयोग हुआ है, उसका अर्थ केवल और केवल इस्लाम वा मुसलमान वा पैग़म्बर आदि शब्दों की वह व्याख्या है जो कट्टर इस्लाम के मशहूर और लोकप्रिय प्रचारक जैसे - ज़ाकिर नाईक़, अंजम चौधरी, हाफ़िज़ सईद, मौलाना इसरार अहमद, मौलाना मसूद अज़हर और उनके समर्थक करते हैं जिसके अनुसार हर ग़ैर-मुसलमान जहन्नम/नर्क की आग में जलेगा और हर इस्लाम छोड़ने वाले को क़त्ल कर देना चाहिए।

इस पूरी वेबसाईट में जहाँ भी ‘क़ुरान’ शब्द प्रयुक्त हुआ है, उसका अर्थ क़ुरान की पुस्तक के वो अनुवाद और व्याख्याएँ हैं जो कट्टर इस्लाम के प्रतिनिधियों द्वारा इंटरनेट और अन्य स्थानों पर प्रचारित-प्रसारित की जाती हैं जिन्हें पढ़कर कमज़ोर दिल के लोग कट्टरता की दिशा में मुड़ रहे हैं। हम जानते हैं कि क़ुरान व उपरिलिखित शब्दों की कुछ व्याख्याएँ ऐसी भी हैं जो हिंसा को आज के दिन ठीक नहीं समझतीं, एवं ग़ैरमज़हबी मानवता पर बल देती है पर ऐसी व्याख्याएँ और व्याख्याता कट्टर इस्लाम के प्रतिनिधियों और उनके अनुयायियों की दृष्टि में मुर्तद (मुसलमान जिसने इस्लाम छोड़ दिया हो) घोषित किए गए हैं। ऐसे व्याख्याता और उनकी व्याख्याएँ इस वेबसाईट के विषय नहीं हैं। चिंता का विषय है कि आज इंटर्नेट आदि माध्यमों में कट्टरवादी व्याख्याओं का बाहुल्य है एवं उदारवादी सहिष्णु व्याख्याएँ दुष्प्राप्य हैं।

हम मानते हैं कि मूल इस्लाम, पैग़म्बर, क़ुरान आदि बहुत प्रेम और आनंद सिखाते होंगे। परंतु इस वेबसाईट में इन शब्दों से केवल वो अर्थ लिए जाएँ जो नवीन लोगों ने अपने हिसाब से अपने मिलावटी ग्रंथ/अनुवाद बना लिए हैं। हम इन मिलावटी ग्रंथों/अनुवादों को ठीक नहीं मानते और हमारी इस्लाम, पैग़म्बर या क़ुरान आदि विषयों की व्याख्या को आज के कट्टरवादी प्रचलित/मिलावटी अनुवादों के संदर्भ में ही लिया जाए। हमारी कोई बात मूल इस्लाम, पैग़म्बर और क़ुरान के लिए नहीं है। उसके लिए तो बस सम्मान है।

किसी भी व्यक्ति, समुदाय, उदारवादी विचारधारा की भावना को ठेस पहुँचाना इस वेबसाईट का उद्देश्य नहीं है। किंतु विषय गम्भीर है, संवेदनशील है। प्रचारित इतिहास पर प्रश्नचिन्ह उठाता है। कुछ स्थानों पर एतिहासिक विषयों को नाटकीय रूप में भी प्रस्तुत किया गया है। अतः यह निवेदन है कि यदि इन विषयों को लेकर आप किंचित भी संवेदनशील है तो इस वेबसाईट को आगे न पढ़ें। यह वेबसाईट केवल परिपक्व मनस हेतु है जो इस अस्वीकरण को ध्यान रखते हुए, हमारी मूल भावना का सम्मान करते हुए, हमारे सृजनात्मक अभिव्यक्ति के अधिकार को अंगीकार कर सकें।

Why ‘Yes, I love I’

I am my greatest possession. I am the most precious. I am the meaning of my life. Yet I see the world upset with I. As a child, life was so beautiful – no worries, no complaints, no frustrations, no grudges. But as I grew older, my happiness started evaporating. Smiles started giving way to tensions. Innocence started turning into deceit. Gratitude turned into complaints. I started feeling that the world is not fair to me. It does not appreciate my talents, does not empathize with my situations, does not reciprocate my sincere sentiments. It misunderstands me, cheats me, exploits me. I see so many individuals living in their own islands of complaints against rest of the world. I see myself always struggling to balance between flights of my dreams and harsh realities of rest of the world.

And then I realized – despite all the grief, all the complaints, all the unfairness – that life is still worth living. I love life more than anything else. This love makes me strive despite all the challenges. This love urges me to look up to next moment with hope. This love makes life more valuable than death even in most depressing situations.

And what is this life. It is nothing but the feeling of ‘I exist’ – I observe, I feel, I act. This ‘I’ is most precious and I love this ‘I’ the most. This love for ‘I’ gives meaning to everything else. This is the source. This is the foundation. And when I realized this, I also realized that this was just the beginning. The realization goes way beyond.

I realized that the cause of all sorrows and miseries and tensions and frustrations is not what the world keeps doing to me or the way my destiny ridicules me. It is my own denial of what is the most obvious basis of life – that ‘I’ love ‘I’ more than anything else. Nothing apart from ‘I’ touches ‘I’. So ‘I’ myself am the cause of my troubles or happiness. What happens around me impacts me only to extent ‘I’ decide them to impact ‘I’.

I realize that there is no option to not love ‘I’. Because my existence itself proves that ‘I’ love ‘I’. But I can choose to love ‘I’ and willfully embrace this reality. And have love and happiness in life. Or I can choose to love ‘I’ but still not accept this reality. And hence deny the love and happiness that is all around me and within me.

I also realized that the world as I see around me is simply a reflection of my own inner realities. I decide how the world appears to me. I decide how the world should behave with me. I decide the world around me. As I think, so the world changes. I see all individuals as separate islands of ‘ego’ competing among each other to assert their own petty ‘I’s, and I hear a cacophony of empty vessels hitting each other. I see the same ‘I’ as I see in my own ‘I’ and suddenly there is harmony, rhythm and melody.

Just as ‘I’ love ‘I’, he loves his ‘I’, she loves her ‘I’, you love your ‘I’. I appreciate and respect their ‘I’s as well. I go a step beyond, and realize that this ‘I’, that ‘I’, my ‘I’, your ‘I’, all ‘I’s are powered by same source that generates love and happiness of being ‘I’. The source is same. The result is also same : ‘I’ love ‘I’. And in a stroke my ‘I’ expands beyond my body to entire universe. My ‘I’ now includes every ‘I’ that loves ‘I’. My ‘I’ now includes everything in world that ‘I’ use to showcase that love for ‘I’. My ‘I’ includes entire universe – living or non-living, here or there, heard or unheard.

And yo! This is the most amazing realization. When ‘I’ includes entire world, who\ do I hate or love more? Who do I compete with? Who do I complain against? Who do I snatch from? Who do I feel jealous against? Who do I hold culprit? Who do I call victim?

Since I love ‘I’, I need to extract nothing more from world. I simply focus on giving more and more to strengthen my ‘I’ everywhere and in everyone. I now realize my goal. My goal is to continuously keep increasing my love for ‘I’. To love ‘I’ this moment more than ‘I’ loved ‘I’ ever. And love ‘I’ even more in next moment. To destroy whatever acts as an obstacle to maximization of this love for ‘I’. And strengthen whatever makes ‘I’ love ‘I’ more and more.

I don’t want ‘I’ to get more rupees. I want ‘I’ to generate more ‘wealth’ that adds more love to ‘I’. I don’t want ‘I’ to become an island of egomania. I want ‘I’ to connect and cooperate with everything and everyone in this world. I don’t want to take revenge against world’s unfair treatment. My ‘I’ now includes the world. I want world to be better and improved so that there is more love for ‘I’. I don’t want to take. I want to give. Life is not a competition. Life is cooperation. Life is Yajna. Life is all about going beyond limits. And having limitless love for ‘I’. Love that transcends all petty desires, lust, cravings and expectations. Love that connects to the source – unconditionally, permanently. Love that brings satisfaction for being what I already am. Love that exists simply because ‘I’ exist. Love that exists because the source powers the ‘I’.

Love that brings oneness with the source – full harmony with entire universe. Love that includes the source in ‘I’.

I now know what I have to do in life. I have to simply love ‘I’. Through wonderful thoughts and even more worthy actions.

Lets celebrate the ‘I’. Lets love ‘I’.

Yes, ‘I’ love ‘I’

  “I” means individual soul or self should be purified and elevated up to the highest state of emancipation, to make human birth successful.
  
  God or Ishwar should be worshiped – loved, contemplated and His laws should be followed. He is supreme well-wisher and supporter of the Self.
