Dear Aliya!

If God has many facets, the one that turns into a woman must be the most beautiful one ;)

Dear Syd,

Thought it noble, because it creates, and creativity is noble.

``Thought is noble``.

How?

Dear PI,
Thanks for the reply. However, my curiosity was in relation, specifically, to the last two sentences of your first letter-- the ``I hate you`` bit)
thx,
PM

Dear PM,

As a child when my world did not extent beyond the boundaries of my home, I thought my dad was the all-mighty. He could yell at and punish anyone. Later on when I saw the world in a broader context, I realized my dad is just a helpless grey-haired man who has nothing under his control. So the concept of God that I had all through my childhood just abolished. I was still willing to accept the existence of God, but I was not longer willing to accept the concept of God that I had been given in childhood.
Then as I grew into an adult and fell in love, I started seeing God to be similar to my beloved. This time the concept of God was about love rather than about punishment. About love, as in, a man praying all day trying to please God, but not percepting how God has been replying to it, and feeling he is being ignored.


Dear Studebaker,

That was a low IQ joke, coz Paagal ko siraf Psychiatrists samaj saktay hain! :P


Dear Tipu,

Where do you live? Hello, this is 2003! In the contemporary Pakistani society, no father has the time to tell stories to his son, or guide him about religion, or narrate history to him. Our concepts of Religion and History come from illiterate mothers. Like my own in the above compilatin of letters.

PI,
hmmm... ok, so your conceptoin of God (or Self?) has changed (evolved?)

As a piece of unanalytical stream-of-conscious stuff, I am loathe to criticize or even opine. I am, however, confused about this part: `` I realized God can not be like my father. God can not be so helpless! If he exists, he probably looks like someone else. I think he looks like you. I hate you!``

Surely, you would not have let this idea go unanalyzed, so would you mind explaining to the slightly dense whether you hate her because she represents the come-down that your new idea of God is (i.e., embodiment of helplessness).

(I suspect I might have the whole question backward)

This is the most interesting thing that I`ve read in a while.

Alia is a bitch and PI is an incomplete word.. PItiful.

``Dear Rozaiba,
The `bakvaas` about spirit, soul, heart and the metaphor of love is only another way of saying ``search and struggle are themselves manifestations of love.``
``

pagalinsaan:
yes. you are right. the slicing of the single ONE entity of the self into heart, soul, spirit etc. is a consequence of that struggle. some old iberian sufi once said something like many things appear separate but are in real one.
