The writing brings out a point which is relevant and rememberable. Sensitivity is a constant state, empathy a way of life, understanding a way of being. The sufic way requires us to experience, share and participate in the moment without judgement, expectation but only with love in our hearts. That is the essence of our being.

Therefore, we should always be connected to the world with a sense of giving, giving one`s love and energy, and allowing ourself to experience the energy of others - and through this sharing bring each other to the state of our ultimate purpose. Ultimate purpose. It is creating a unity of experience.

So, this suffering, joy, pain, happiness, all these emotions have only one purpose. Oneness. That is what we must remember.

Very well presented thoughts on a tragedy that
also moved many beyond the earthquake striken areas of Gujrat. For a pictorial view please visit:

JS,

great work - powerful

Studebaker,

You are overdoing the angry young man bit. Your postings over the past few weeks across boards have been repetitive, irrelevant and pointless.

Don`t try to be a gadfly. The role is evidently unsuitable for you.

I suppose you were inspired by the play

``Six Degrees of Separation``

by John Guare

One of my fav. plays.

Nice job jawahara.

Yes, Studebaker, words and more words. You are right, I did nothing for no-one. Satisfied?

Well written, sentimental, and expresses pure emotions- as other pieces of your work.

So far the best in the series of Earthquake Articles.

Thanks for keeping your focus on the human perspective only.

Dear Jawahara: I always read what you write with great admiration. For you are a good human being with a big heart, and it shows in ever line you write. God bless.
