Best thing which I discovered while growing up is discovering God in everything around me! It must have happened to many who struggle independently and eventually realize that our strength roots from accepting our weaknesses to God.
In my mid twenties I learned about a writer who was sharing similar experiences(though apparently his relationship with God looked much more direct!)about creating and maintaining relationship with God by being observant about Nature .This writer was Ashfaq Ahmed who in his dramas like “Mann Chalay ka sauda”( A Naïve’s bargain)and talk shows like “Zavia”(Prospective)discussed the concept of approaching God by following simple principals of honesty and deciding according to what our heart tells us to do(If we keep it pure).
After couple of years I heard about a Brazilian writer “Paulo Coelho” whose book “Alchemist” made record sales throughout the world. The Alchemist was originally written in Portuguese and has since been translated into 56 languages, winning the Guinness World Record for most translated book by a living author. It has sold more than 65 million copies in more than 150 countries, becoming one of the best-selling books in history.
In spite of the fact that Coelho’s work primarily reflects his Christian orientation whereas Ashfaq Ahmed’s is of Sufi Islamic school of thought but after reading both of them ,one realizes that God is so easy to approach if we believe that he exists!
One thing which I have failed to understand is that why it was Paulo Coelho who got all the recognition and why not it was Ashfaq Ahmed?
Please suggest a possible reason that why do “V” not get the due recognition even when “V” DESERVE IT.
1: Nothing is of value unless it can be sold! and “V” are not good at selling our brands because “V” don’t believe in them.
2: “V” are tagged as failures because of our not so bright past so it would take a lot more than work of few hard workers to make the world realize our true potential.
3: “V” do not think that “V” are good and automatically the world agrees about our opinion about ourselves!
4: “V” do not deserve recognition and “V” are getting what “V” actually deserve!
