The true path of submission or "Islam" without the Sunnah nonsense

Posted: Apr 30, 2008 Wed 08:05 am     Views: 135    Interacts: 1

Kaale Khan alias Eklayva said-
"Somewhere you had mentioned that our goals may differ but sometimes the methods are the same. That is nonsense."

I doubt you have read enough of Vaishnava or Shaiva Bhakti traditions to understand that Bhakti includes prapatti which requires surrendering of the individual ego to the divine will - which is also the true basic meaning of "Islam" or submission.

Also, contrary to your understanding in another board (the MEEM of Bulley Shah) I have already showed how "Islam" of sufis need not be aligned with Sunnah , but has everything to do with the path of "surrender" to the will of your deity.The path of prapatti works in the same way even if you throw away Sunnah as many sufis do (excluding the "Darbari-Sufis" like Naqshabandis).


So, it is absolutely wrong to say that the 'our' ( a self reference to you and other sunnah loving darabari-sufis) methods are not the same.

Then, you asked -"How can they be when we worship two entirely different entities?"

The path of bhathi or surrender works equally well for a Vaishanava, Shaiva or a Shakta ( I hope you know the differences between these sects). So , even if the deities are different- the path remains the same.

Pandit Idolator Laddu Ji Mahraj

Your idolator wish is being increasingly granted. Even chowk is now filled with Quranists of all sorts - people who think they can understand and interpret the Quran without Muhammad.

And then you have the loveable mirzais - sattar bhai et al. All just the kind of people you seem to be looking for desperately.

You should have no problem with them and nothing to worry about. You can expect a new Idolator-loving Islam now.

--------------

By the way, do read into the genesis and growth of mirzaism - the 'Islamic' doctrine that rejects Mohammad.

I looked up some details a few weeks ago and was amused, but not in the least surprised.

If those are true "Muslims," then God save you - Pandit Idolator Ji Mahraj, and God save mankind.

-----------------

My dear friend, books have become your bane.

Throw them away. Start using your head.

You are a Hindu after all!! Why do you demean your own self by holding any old books to be of higher value than your own divine self?
