In praise of moth by Shah Latif:

Go to the moth, the surest way
of immolation ask-
The moths, who throw themselves into
the fire every day;
Whose tender hearts became a prey
to cupid's arrow sharp.

The moths assembled, gathering
above a raging fire...
Heat drove them not, no fear they had,
flames ...

Quran says: LAQAD KAAN LAKUM FI RASULILLAHI USWATAN HASANAH.

Your statement can't be above Quran. The present Imam does not attend Jamat Khana but tells us to attend regularly. Hence he is not a role model!

As per your habit you took the U turn. Do you believe in ayat which I quoted from Quran ...

Science Vs Vedas - The Four Ages (Yugas)

yugas

The Triad of TIME-SPACE-MATTER being indestructible and thus immortally always present, one is tempted to ask whether the traditional conception of dissolution would still hold good. The orthodox Hindus believe (and so do several ...

THE HINDU THEORY OF WORLD CYCLES
In the Light of Modern Science

Traditional Hindu scriptures view history as cyclical in character, with vast repeating series of ages. Each age has its own particular qualities. Interestingly, this system seems to be taken literally by modern Yoga masters ...

Was Prophet Muhammad not a role model in ethical values, humanity, and social work. In same way I consider Pir Sadardin as role model try to follow him. Your language sounds like that of shivaathervedi, so welcome back! The Prophet was not a role model, hence we do not follow the sunna of the ...

MSMS said in one of his Farmans; TAMEY KOSHISH KARO TOU TAMEY PUNN PIR SADARDIN JEVA THAI SHAKO CHHO. If you try hard can become like Pir Sadardin. Option is there. Of course once you become like Pir Sadardin, you can act like him. However most of us don't become like Pir Sadardin immediately ...

WHY KHOJKI SCRIPT WAS DISCONTINUED AND ON WHOSE ORDERS:

In early 80's 'Sindhi Chalee Akhri' i.e Khojki script was discontinued from Ismaili horizon. It wasn't on Hidayat of Imam but few influential officials of ITREB Pak decided to discontinue the script. These officials killed our Heritage. Hazar ...

A twist in Adam story;

Did God performed some sort of surgical procedure on Adam. Eva was made or created from the Adam's rib. He cut the rib, trim it, shave it polish it and made a perfect beautiful product. I wander, how he made private parts of Adam and Eve? Does he has drawing or plan in His ...

Where is Hell?

How can one describe Hell when he has not visited it?
Is Hell above skies or under world (paatal)?
Is Hell a burning furnace? Is that furnace burn bodies or souls?
Is Hell a part of God's Noor?
Is there any spiritual Hell?
Is death permanent anesthesia?

About Hell:

Hell is God's absence.
Hell is hopeless anguish.
Hell is wrath of God.
Hell is separation.
Hell is burning inside.

Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.

Soul is a batin or hidden affair it does not die. Please review the wordings of MSMS. He said, "obviously reborn means in a higher sphere than the earth". It means reborn in higher sphere and not back on planet earth. I asked you a question in one of my posts which you did not answer. How do you ...

Trans; Is this an imagination or talk of near or far. What is Ma'raaj?(Rumi says), this is (spiritual) revolution in consciousness.

This week, Ismailis around the world join many of their brothers and sisters in the wider Muslim Ummah in observing Mi‘raj. Esoteric interpretations of Islam tend to emphasise the spiritual significance of Mi‘raj, which is seen as a symbol of the journey of the soul, and the human potential to rise ...

Sarmad was a sufi and Persian poet at time of Aurangzeb ...

Repeated in brackets means that is your personal opinion and not necessarily mentioned in Ginan. In Islam and Ismailism once Izrael took the soul out of body there is no coming back of soul.

The discussion in above post is about reincarnation and not about fana. You mentioned MSMS's guidance ...

shamsu wrote:Why do we touch the ground and then touch our faces 3 times when saying Kalima?

There is no significance of doing this action in Ismailism. We have to say Kalima attentively with understanding its meaning.

EJI UTTAM HOI NAAI DOEI APNA ALAKH NE AARADHO

Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

You have right to translate Ginan according to your ideology but I think it is not correct. Look at the following part of saloko nano you mentioned. For jutha marna you translated ' can die false repeated deaths '. For God sake where is word 'repeated' used in this part. There is no mention of ...

I think the way to resolve this apparent contradiction in the statements of the Imam is by considering the duality of the Zaheri and the Batini perspectives. In the verse of the Granth Sloko Nano, Pir Sadardeen states:

satgur kahere: jutthaa marnnaa to sab jug mare
ane saachaa na mare koi

If thou art Love's lover and seekest Love,

Wherefore did that madman work madness in a thousand forms,
