THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE UNIVERSE JOURNEY TOWARDS GOD-REALIZATION

message to the Indian Muslim community. This viewpoint was initially alien to Muslims, as the Arabic proverb states, “People become enemies of what they are unaware of.” Therefore, Muslims initially opposed the concept of patience and avoidance. However, continuous experiences have opened their eyes, leading to a change in the mindset of Muslims in Gujarat and throughout the country. They have realized that blaming others is futile, and their efforts should focus on their education, development and empowerment. Undoubtedly, this shift in perspective is a positive trend. The world has entered a new era in the wake of the scientific revolution. While it was previously believed that ‘the sword was the key to power’ (i.e., physical strength equates to power), every aware individual now understands that knowledge is the true key to power. In the past, dominance in the world was determined by those who possessed swords, but now it belongs to those who know. This world is inherently competitive, and one will inevitably encounter challenging experiences from others. A foolish person dwells on past bitterness, whereas a wise person overcomes bitter memories, adopts the way of patience and tolerance, and spends all his energies building his future. The purpose of education is not only to find jobs; instead, its true purpose is to foster awareness within individuals. The root cause of all problems in this world is unawareness, and the solution to these problems lies in making people aware. They must understand the true nature of the issues, possess the ability to critically analyze situations, and discern what is attainable and what lies beyond reach in the world. Education creates awareness within individuals. Undoubtedly, all successes are reserved for educated individuals. No progress and development is simply attainable without education in this world. 
