PENCIL WITH AN ERASER

In the name of Allah, most gracious and most merciful.

An artist makes a pencil art he was just proud of his picture he wish to get peoples review. He made a trick arranged a stand in market where people used to roam he kept his picture in stand along with a pencil he wrote “One who find error in this  picture please make a cross mark using pencil”.

Artist spent a sleepless night he waited for morning light to go market and see response from people when he reached there he felt very sad he failed to find his picture in the paper it’s filled with cross marks. He met his guru (teacher) and started to cry I am not an artist my picture is full of error what I learnt is totally waste.

His Guru said do one thing make same picture again and keep it in market along with a pencil with an eraser and write down “ One who find error in this picture erase it and correct it”.

Artist followed words of his Guru and next day when he went to see the response he was just surprised because no one touched his picture.

It’s a story I read long back I find it suitable for present situation of our country.

What is the Real problem of India?

If you ask this question with any youngster of India he will reply “Whole system is wrong all the politicians and officers are indulging in corruption.” But no one knows the fact that he is also the part of that system which he mentions as wrong. He blames on politicians and officers but he himself is big problem of India he never tried to change the system.

We have a democratic system of ruling we are not ruled by a dictator where we cannot question for anything. The politicians and officers whom we blame are not from mars they are also common citizen of India. We can’t cross mark on their faults because the pencil we hold now is a “Pencil with an eraser” we need to erase where we find errors and need to draw a corrupt free society.

It’s merely acceptable 60% of voting in developed country but what about us we are still under developed or developing country since the independence how can we adjust with 40% or 50% participate in voting out of which major portion influenced with cast,community, money etc and we blame on the system.

Take oath to become proud citizen of developed India dear friends the revolution already begun in capital city Aam Aadhmi (common man) raised their voice against corruption. All we need to support this revolution.
Are you waiting for Lokpal to punish the corrupt politician then appoint a Lokpal to your heart I just want explain one more imaginary story. Few students participated in a rally to support Anna Hazare fight to pass the “Jan Lokpal Bill” and when they finished they came back by triple ride in a bike a police man stopped them they just gave bribe to police and returned home”

Isn't it funny? Yes this is I and You we need to appoint a lokpal for each of Indian’s heart (Please find the link at the end for my blog on it)

My dear friends stop the “wait and watch” policy I just want to remind a verse from Holy Quran "Verily, Allah will not change the condition of the people, until they change what’s in themselves." (Ar-Ra’d 13:11)

It is the Time Yes It is the right time to raise your voice pen down few words joins the revelation take the “Pencil with an eraser” do correction in system then just giving mere statements.

DON'T FORGET YOUR ROOT

 In the name of Allah, most gracious and most merciful.

A mango tree is so proud about its branches and green leaves it’s always used to be glad about its branches where it grow tasty mango. People used to appreciate the Mango tree while eating tasty mango which made Mango tree swollen with pride. The tree always ignored about its root it used to say with root you are the ugliest part in my body.

There was a Pine tree which lived more than thousands of years in same place it gave an advice to Mango tree “Son I am standing here for more than thousands of years I have seen birth and death of many trees like you, it’s good that people enjoy your tasty fruit and they appreciate you but one thing made me worry about you is that you are very rude about your root which is your foundation. Son I have seen your life growth A mango seed came here in rainy water it’s my root stopped that seed here and few days later root grown in that seed and when rain came again it took all the leaves and seeds nearby my root but rain water failed to lift the mango seed because of the root it tried hard to carry away the seed but the root grown in it tightened its grip in the land finally water accepted the failure and flown away. After that root started to extract water from the earth to feed you now you grown up and started to produce fruit. Son please never forget about the sacrifices of your root it is the only reason for your existence”

Mango tree ignored this advice of Pine tree and it continued to insult the root. Once there where a huge cyclone Mango tree struggled to face it, root tried to tighten its grip but it failed finally tree fell down. When people came there they found the mango tree   as obstacle for their road they cut all the branches and stem and used it as charcoal.

Pine tree was still standing there and it said “ I told with you and the trees lived here before than you no one is ready to take my advice don’t forget about your root now I need to wait for rain water which brings one more seed”

Well its look like a story from kindergarten story book but it’s a story I wrote for them who still not took the advice of pine tree in serious manner.

We live in a family tree where root stands for our Parents and Branches for our kids. When our children grow up and become doctors, Engineers etc we feel proud about them it’s good to be proud about our children but we can’t be rude on our parents as mango tree did.

If we act like Mango tree of the story we need to face two punishments first cyclone will come in our life when our children do same with us like what we did with our parents and the second one we will get punishment in life here after

Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) Says “And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him.  And that you be dutiful to your parents.  If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour.” (Quran 17:23)

So it is clearly prohibited to even shout at them remember what we are doing now how many tears flown from the eyes of our parents because of us.

Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) clearly says in Quran "We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents; in pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth." (Quran 46:15)

Be kind to the parents it’s a duty ordered to us by our creator Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) and Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) encouraged us to do dua for our parents its mentioned in Quran that

“And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, "My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small." (Quran 17:24)

Our wealth our children what we really proud about them is nothing but test from Allah (subhana wa ta'ala)

 “And know that your properties and your children are but a trial and that Allah has with Him a great reward.” (Quran 8:28)

Please remember the advice of Pine Tree before the cyclone hits you

May Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) protect us from his angry because of ill treating our parents, May Allah fill love in our hearts so that we care and nourish our parents and kids, May Allah tighten the bond of love between our blood relatives .

Please do remember me in your prayers……
