listen to God’s voice in the language of silence

English book, p. 185

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

LISTEN TO GOD’S VOICE IN THE LANGUAGE OF SILENCE Those who know how to listen only to deafening din remain as unaware of these matters as a deaf person is of fine music. This world of God is infinitely beautiful. its beauty cannot be described in words. When a person sees the world, he loses all control. he wants to become part of the winds, melt into the trees, and lose himself in the loftiness of the skies. however, his limitations stand in the way of such desire. Perhaps, this is heaven. an individual will become free of his limitations to enter that beautiful world of Paradise that will last forever. The civilized world humans have made is starkly different from God’s world. The vehicles people have built emit pollution and create terrible noise. however, in God’s world, light travels at the astounding speed of 1,86,000 miles per second without noise or pollution! human beings live together, so they always face various problems from one another. however, the winds blow without conflict with anything in God’s world. We emit our waste in the form of carbon dioxide and sweat and dump it into the outside world, but in God’s world, trees emit their ‘pollution’ in the form of oxygen, without which human and animal life would have been impossible. Flowers emit their fragrance as their ‘pollution’. We litter our streets with garbage, even though it is against the law. however, in God’s world, enormous amounts of ‘garbage’ are produced every day without anyone even knowing or noticing this, and this ‘garbage’ is recycled and reconverted into valuable things.
