All this talk about Islam and the illusion of  barbaric followers of it really makes us think what are we doing? Islam is one of the wonderful religion this earth has had. But the misunderstandings that people hv are creating so much havoc! I am putting below a true incidence that had occurred with me about 2-3 months ago during Q&A session that I was taking (As u must be aware every Saturday I take session). Please go thru it. I hope it may throw some light into the root of the problem. And inspire all of us to transcend the reptile brain of which we are so much slave. And may be guiding force! I am doing my best to put down the event as it was, taking the risk of making it long! Fortunately enough the sessions are recorded so it is exactly possible! Though it is in Guj/Hindi/Urdu I am translating it here.Unfortunately I don't hv font for URDU so I can't put some important things of URDU as URDU.
 
Q. You say World isn't true. It is illusion. Then is Sanyas Truth?
A.  I say world isn't true as u see, as it appears. But Sanyas is also not true! When both Sansar and Sanyas go what remains is Truth. If we hv a disease what do we do, we take medicine. U remove throne by throne. Sansar is God when ...
 
(Suddenly I was interrupted by Mr.Sheikh a Muslim person by birth with a violent shout)
 
Mr.Sheikh: Hey u, Stop this nonsense!
I. Yes Bhagwan can't u wait till I finish this and then say whatever u want to.
 
Mr.Sheikh: Stop calling me Bhagwan. U are spoiling our Muslim Children. I can't wait. I am here to warn u....
I. What. That term is very relative! But how do u think I am spoiling?
 
(Others get hold of Mr.Sheikh and tell him to not to interrupt. But I request them to let him speak)
 
Mr.Sheikh: The other day my 18 year old son Altaf came and touched everybody's feet. When we were cooking meat he started lecturing us about not killing. I find other Muslim boys who come to you touching feet of other humans, doing Bhajans. They are going against Islam.
I. No way, they are getting to know Islam. They are becoming Muslims...
 
Mr.Sheikh interrupts: I am not here to hear u. I hv just come here to tell u to stop speaking. U stop speaking and stop this Human Puja and Bhagwan thing.
I. No way. First, Tell me how many people are here?
 
Mr.Sheikh: About 350-400.
I. U think I invite them. I don't invite them. They just come here on their own. If u don't like please instruct ur ward or Muslim brothers & sisters to not to come here. I don't speak or stop speaking for anybody. I am what I am for myself. I can even be with trees and mountains. So plz. tell ur child to not to come.
 
Mr.Sheikh: I hv told, but they come. Anyway I am not interested in all this. I just warn u, u stop. Tell Muslims to not to come here!
I. I won't. I don't open or close doors for anybody. Do I make myself clear? Not only child, here Muslims much more old than u come. In spite of ur instructions why ur own son or others come here? Because they find Islam here. Have they stopped Namaz? No, I am sure they would be going for Namaz with more vigor and rigor. There is no difference absolutely no difference! And who told u that we or I do Human Puja. Who the hell is bowing to Human? We are bowing to the Godliness. That God. That Allah! And who the hell told u it is not according to Islam. In Kuran 6th chapter 18th Ayaat it is written that
What does this mean? When we touch feet we are worshipping this Allah. If he is spread over his beings whom are we worshipping? The human or the Allah. If his shadow is there........
 
Mr.Sheikh interrupts: Stop Speaking on Kuran. U know the plight of Salman Rushdie.
I. There is vast difference. This is not Satanic Verses..
 
Mr.Sheikh interrupts: If u don't stop speaking on Bhagwan or don't tell Muslim to not to come I will kill you.
 
(Saying so Mr.Sheikh took out a long knife. Immediately enough 10-20 people overpowered him and took the knife away)
 
I. Plz. leave the person. Plz. leave him..............
 
 
You can't kill me. Cuz what u can kill, that I hv killed myself. That I hv already left. Yes, u can complete the formality. Plz. do it, if u want to. But remember u can't kill me. U can destroy this body, but not me! And if I want to say what I want to I will be back. Back! I will come again. There is no time for me! I am that which doesn't go or come. Time is not there for me. I was always here. I am everywhere and in every time. By killing this body u can't kill me.
 
People out of misunderstanding killed in the most barbarous way Mansoor. What was his crime? Just that , that he said
I don't think u even know Urdu or Farsi to know the meaning of these words. It means I am God, I am Allah. The same that Upanishads hv said as
But India hd the courage to face truths. I don't want to go to the details. In fact the topic of Mansoor is such that 2 hours can pass. But what was the result. The result was that every Sufi knew and said an lahak. The truth spread like a fire in Sufis. In the same manner u can kill this body but for every drop of blood thousands of Devang will be born. They are here right before your eyes. And truth will prevail.
U want to kill this body. U are most welcome. Please bring him here! Please bring the knife also.
For me anybody who destroys this body is Shiva. You are Shiva for me.
 
(I touch feet of Mr.Seikh, do puja, I give him Knife in his hands).
 
I. Plz. go ahead. U wanted to kill me. U hv ur knife.  Plz. kill the body, if u can. I willn't stop anything I do. Not only that I am telling u An Lahak.
 
(Patelbhai, Hayat, Durgesh, Nitin, Katariabhai, Alok, Anand, Motherajabhai etc. come forward  and say first he will hv to kill us)
 
I. Plz. go back to your seat. Plz. if u really luv me go back to ur seats.
 
Yes Bhagwan do ur work. I will chant Om Namah Shivay cuz u are Shiva for me. Okay everybody let us sing Bhajan. Let him do his work, me mine and u urs.
 
(For 7 minutes the Bhajans etc. went on)
 
I. Bhagwan u are wasting time. Don't think! If u think u can't kill my body. Yes, I will do Pooja, say Bhagwan and even an lahak. If u can't tolerate u may proceed. Nobody will be witness here. I can even write a suicide note if u want. This is wonderful moment to leave my body.
 
Mr.Sheikh touches my feet : I am sorry forgive me. And cries. : I can't take my hand up. Throws the knife
 
I. Bhagwan. U haven't done anything to ask sorry. U had Shiva in ur chita. In fact, I am thankful to u for letting me experience Shiva. Yes, this is Shiva. Shiva the lord! U were seeing Shiv Tatva. Why should u be sorry for it. Please take your seat. Have u ever read Kuran?
 
Mr.Sheikh : No
I. Then hw come u claim so many things. I hv read it. And it is the same as other scriptures I hv read.
 
Husseni: Sir, Please don't think that every Muslim is like this. We appreciate what u say.
 
I. Husseni, There are many walls. Many many walls. Why u want to build another one? Never even think that I will think like this. And hw can I ever think like this. I am as much Muslim as u are and u are as much Hindu as I am. In fact, I am Hindu, Muslim, Bodh, Jain, Shikh, Christian as much as u or anybody is. I hv gone to every place of worship and worshipped. I hv never found any difference. All say just the same. Muslim means musalal iman. I am therefore a muslim as much as u are. The mosque where u go for Namaz, ask the mula there: I performed Namaz there for 3 years. In Gurudwara. In Temples. In Church. In fact, so called preachers of these religions, don't understand it and i.e. why to them they differ. A true Muslim, true Hindu or .......... will never even see any difference in any of the sayings or teachings.
 
Hayat: Sir, today we 10 people will accompany u and stay with u.
 
I. Hayat, there is no need to. Plz. don't do it. I won't allow it.
 
Hayat: But......
 
I. As long as truth has to use this body, even if lakhs of people want to destroy it, it can't be destroyed. And when it has to go, it is no more needed, it will go even if lakhs of people want to guard it. Plz. no more discussion. Let us resume.
 
Sheikhji u know what is Islam? It is:
 
(Urdu words I can't write here)
 
Ilahi ko salam, Ilahi of Sijda, Ilahi ki bandgi. Bhagwan Sheikhji, I guide all to that only. Mein inhe Ilahi ki Bandgi ki Tarbiyat deta hoon. Inhe Ilahi ko Sijda karne ki talim muayayaa karata hun. Inhe ilahi ko salam karana sikhta hun. I teach them Islam
 
Mr.Sheikh: Will u speak on Kuran?
 
I. Yes I will, gather enough people. But just now u were committing me for Blasphemes. In fact, I speak on everything. Sometimes Mahavir comes in Krishna, Buddha, Mohammed etc. I hv very bad habit of mixing!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Do we hv understanding to understand Islam and spread its meaning to all. Do we hv the courage to understand Osama Bin Laden? Rather than using words crusade etc. to preserve the false EGO. Yes Mr. Sheikh is coming regularly. Transformation thru truth, kindness, luv and understanding! Not removal.
 
Probably people out there hv been brain washed!!!! The question is hw do we understand each other? Hw? When will we be able to see synergy in chaos?
 
My Pranam
