OUR LIMITS
Universe has been made by God’s Wisdom & knowledge and universe reveals perfection and it is related to the human intellect, which owns certain limits. We live in this wisdom-oriented universe but we are enclosed in the basement of our intellect. Wherein we are confined to such a limited life as a fish is confined in the water. Who passes away her life without any awareness of the dry regions of the world.
In her world of water, a fish never comes to know that what kind of life is lead by creatures of the dry regions and the countless birds in the air. She considers her world of water as the real world and the world, out of water, as an unreal world. The region of her intellect, as such, never goes across her underwater limits.
Within her world of water, a fish always enjoys all that which is necessary for her life___ the underwater life. So___ to know about the dry regions___ is considered by her___ as an unreal and unnecessary thing.
Now suppose that you are a fish in the depth of waters. You are leading an underwater life therein. One day, you happen to meet a particular fish who was, previously, caught by fisherman and was kept in a glassy jar of water for some days on the beach. There, she came to know about the deceptive ways and trickery of the fishermen___ whereby they used to hunt the fish.
She also came to know on the beach that the pretty ones of the fish were kept in the big glassy jars of water. While the common ones were roasted in the boiling oil.
The same awared fish is, now, addressing to you in the following words:
“O ‘dear, beware!!! To live in the depths of water, is not free from the manifold dangers. While eating something in water, you must be always careful. Lest, it is fastened to a hidden hunting nail. If you, mistakingly, swallowed such a thing. It will pierce into your throat and carry away you to the pot of boiling oil. Do you know the unbearable agony of boiling oil?
What will you do at this very stage? Will you act upon the advice of preaching fish? Or, you will keep on grazing everywhere, without care. Of course, it will be decided by you and you alone___ that what will you finally do?
Now come out of the supposed situation and ponder over the real situation. Is not man___ in the unending limits of space___ just like a fish in the depths of water?
Is not our intellect limited___ just like that of the fish in water?
Is not the news of Hereafter___ about whom Prophets have been talking so continuously___ just like the news of dry regions of the world, for a fish?
Should we not ponder over the Revealed Verses and try hard to grasp them?
To lead a life without awareness___ is not just like the life of animals?
If our limited intellect does not tell us anything about the time___ prior to our birth? Nor it tells us anything about the time___ rear to our death? Then___ should we not weigh and value the all-alike teachings of Prophets?
If we ourselves__ are not the creator of ourselves! Then should we not try hard to know our Creator?
If the sweets are made by the confectioner alone? Then should we not believe in the One Alone Creator of the fruits and flowers?
If a simple machine is not made without an engineer? Then, how the whole chain of complexed cosmic creature, can come into existence without a Creator___ the One Alone God?
