O Learned and Devoted Servants of God
1. Kindly give the essence of the following verse.
[Shri Anil asked: Padanamaskaram Swami, Kindly give the essence of the following verses from Quran and Hadith. At Your Lotus Divine Feet -anil. Allah's Messenger said, “Do not exaggerate my status as the Christians have done with the son of Mary. Verily, I am only a servant, so refer to me as the servant of Allah and His messenger”. [Sahih al-Bukhari 3443]]
Swami replied:- This confirms the theory of Prophet Mohammad that there is no human incarnation except a messenger carrying on the message of God to the earth like a postman carrying the letter written by one person to the other person. I already told that Mohammad was shocked at the crucifixion of Jesus and wanted to eradicate the concept of human incarnation. The human incarnation is mediated unimaginable God (Son of God) and the human incarnation is God Himself (Jesus said that He and His Father are one and the same.). Without understanding the inner concepts, the church authorities got Jesus crucified.
2. Kindly give the essence of the following verse.
[“If any one tells you that Muhammad has seen his Lord, he is a liar, for Allah says: ‘No vision can grasp Him’. And if anyone tells you that Muhammad has seen the Unseen, he is aliar, for Allah says: “None has the knowledge of the Unseen but Allah”. ”[Sahih al-Bukhari 7380]]
Swami replied:- Here, Allah means the unmediated-unimaginable God. The same Allah appeared as light and this is an energetic incarnation of Allah. The energetic incarnation is not at all different from the original unimaginable God. The unimaginable God is like a naked person in the bathroom and is unseen by anybody except himself. The incarnation of God is the same person, who comes out with a dress (energetic or human medium). Such incarnation is not at all different from the original unimaginable God just like the clothed person coming out from bathroom is not at all different from the same naked person taking bath in the bathroom.
3. Kindly give the essence of the following verse.
[Allah's Messenger said, "Both in this world and in the Hereafter, I am the nearest of all the people to Jesus, the son of Mary. The prophets are paternal brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion is one." [Sahih al-Bukhari 3443 : Book 60, Hadith 113]]
Swami replied:- Mother means the different external dresses or media. Father means the unimaginable God present in every incarnation.
4. Kindly give the essence of the following verse.
[Allah is not to be questioned about what He does because of His perfect wisdom, mercy and justice, not just because of His subjugation of creation and His might.]
Swami replied:- It is perfectly correct. The omniscient and omnipotent God cannot be questioned by these petty sparks or souls.
5. Kindly give the essence of the following verse.
[The messenger of Allah said: "Beware of the worldly life for it is both green and sweet".]
Swami replied:- The aspirant following spiritual life shall not neglect the worldly life. Unless one establishes himself/herself in the worldly life, he/she shall not go for propagation of spiritual knowledge because devotees will think that the propagator of spiritual knowledge came for food and will not give attention to the wonderful spiritual knowledge preached by the propagator. In that case, the propagation becomes a mere waste of energy!
6. Kindly give the essence of the following verse.
[The messenger of Allah said: “Perhaps a well-dressed (soul) in this world may be naked in the hereafter”.[Sahih al-Bukhari 115]]
Swami replied:- ‘Well dressed’ means the soul having good external body. ‘Hereafter’ means after joining the spiritual field. After learning spiritual knowledge, the soul forgets the existence of its body and this leads to a theoretical state of nakedness, which means that the soul will not feel the presence of its own body due to negligence on the body.
7. Kindly give the essence of the following verse.
[When the Prophet heard the news that the people of the Persia had made the daughter of Khosrau their Queen (ruler), he said, “Never will succeed such a nation as makes a woman their ruler”. [Sahih Bukhari 7099]]
Swami replied:- Women were physically weak in the old tradition. A ruler must be very strong physically and must be a good fighter. This was possible only for males in the olden days. But, things are changed now and several women are very strong and good fighters today. You must not misunderstand the old tradition because that was the unfortunate setup situation for which nobody is responsible. Gradually, things changed to a better state.
8. Kindly give the essence of the following verse.
[The part of the garment that hangs below the ankles is in the Fire [Sahih al-Bukhari 5787]. Based on this some of the Muslims wear the pants having length above the ankles.]
Swami replied:- The pants below the ankles touch the earth and get dirt due to which skin infection may take place. Fire means disease.
