Living in God's Glory
English book, p. 61
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
OBLIVIOUS OF GOD an audible one. he hears the message from the Creator and delivers it to the people. OBLIVIOUS OF GOD People have a great deal to say about other human beings but are at a loss for words when it comes to God. As a result, they remain blissfully unaware of the Creator. if you talk to someone about his son, he will have innumerable things to say about him. however, when you speak to the same person about God, he will remain unmoved, as if he had nothing to say about the almighty. as if he knows nothing of God. Just remind someone of a revered ancestor, and you will find him talking with great zest as if this cherished memory had stimulated his innermost feelings. however, on the other hand, mention God to the same person, and you will find him apathetic, bereft of all feeling, as if he knew nothing of what to say about God. Talk to someone about his leader (akabir), and you will at once be given the benefit of all kinds of emotional outpourings. he will not stop until you interrupt to change the topic. however, on the other hand, mention God to the same person, and you will find him impassive, not in the least excited, as if he lacked the vocabulary to speak about God.
