My way of saying thank you.<br /><br />Today we witnessed the Celestial spectacle of the Century. <br /><br />As it was said to harmful to view the spectaclde in the sky with naked eyes, I was under strict instruction not to venture out.<br /><br />So immediately after Farz namaz around 5.10 am I went out on the terrace to view the Sun before it was eclipsed. In a way I felt sorry that the majesty of the Sun will be eclipsed, a feeling similar to that which overcomes those whose loved one is being wheeled into the operation theatre for major surgery. <br /><br />Doctor you can understand the feeling and emotions that pass over at such times. It was something similar. <br /><br />As I was looking at the Sun in this state, my mind wandered to another major eclipse that engulfed the burning sands of Karbala on the fateful day of A'shura, when the Eternal Truth was eclisped by Evil in all its totalility. <br /><br />Withing a few moments when I was ushered indoors, the mindscape created images of Moulana Abbas being eclipsed as he made a valiant dash with 'maski' towards the thirsy 'haramsharif', where Sakina was waiting. <br />The youthful flowering of Ali Akbar eclipsed by the spear of Sinan, the childhood innocence of Ali Ashgar eclipsed by the arrow of Hurmala. <br /><br />Alas it was totality when Shimr advanced towards Imam Husain with blunt 'khanjar' and did the gruesome deed. <br /><br />As all this thoughts crossed my mind, I felt sad and also spiritual. <br /><br />All those experts and lay man who had assemled at Tarengana may have missed the celestial spectacle, because of the cloud cover, but for me this have proved to be my cherished spiritual experince. I know I may not get another opportunity like this in my life time. <br /><br />I am grateful to Allah and the celestial wonder in the sky. <br /><br />Doctor your comment and appreciation made me express my thoughts, and as I feel others may also benefit I am posting it in my blog. <br /><br />Those who may read this, may be after many years will reflect and be inspired, although they may have missed the one in a life time opportunity.MIND MINTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14342208971708096058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691525490509958887.post-19080280075969793742009-07-20T23:41:53.187-07:002009-07-20T23:41:53.187-07:00I have been following your creative essays since m...I have been following your creative essays since many years -and now i can say with fullauthority that your writings have reached a highly sophisticated well researched enlightning experience that deserves to be compiled and preserved-so that generations can read again and again(and reflect).Well Done.We r proud of you.<br />DR Aliasgar LokhandwalaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691525490509958887.post-19730657576322974302009-07-20T23:35:59.034-07:002009-07-20T23:35:59.034-07:00Thanks for the post.
