The interview with God

2007-05-16T17:57:00.000-07:00

I dreamed I had an interview with God.
So you would like to interview me? God asked.
If you have the time? I said.
God smiled. ? My time is eternity.
What questions do you have in mind for me?
What surprises you most about humankind?
God answered...
That they get bored with childhood,
they rush to grow up, and then
Long to be children again.
That they lose their health to make money...
and then lose their money to restore their health.
That by thinking anxiously about the future,
They forget the present,
Such that they live in neither the present nor the future.
"That they live as if they will never die,
آand die as though they had never lived.
we were silent for a while.
And then I asked.
As a parent, what are some of life's lessons you want your children to learn
To learn they cannot make anyone love them.
All they can do
is let themselves be loved.
To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.
To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.
To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love,
and it can take many years to heal them.
To learn that a rich person
is not one who has the most,but is one who needs the least
To learn that there are people who love them dearly,
but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings.
To learn that two people can
look at the same thing and see it differently?
To learn that it is not enough that they
forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.
"Thank you for your time," I said
"Is there anything else you would like your children to know"
God smiled and said, Just know that I am here... always.

در رويا ديدم که با خدا حرف ميزنم
او از من پرسيد :آيا مايلي از من چيزي بپرسي؟
گفتم ....اگر وقت داشته باشيد....
لبخندي زد و گفت: زمان براي من تا بي نهايت ادامه دارد
چه پرسشي در ذهن تو براي من هست؟
پرسيدم: چه چيزي در رفتار انسان ها هست که شما را شگفت زده مي کند؟
پاسخ داد:
آدم ها از بچه بودن خسته مي شوند ...
عجله دارند بزرگ شوند و سپس.....
آرزو دارند دوباره به دوران کودکي باز گردند
سلامتي خود را در راه کسب ثروت از دست مي دهند
و سپس ثروت خود را در راه کسب سلامتي دوباره از صرف مي کنند....
چنان با هيجان به آينده فکر مي کنند.
که از حال غافل مي شوند
به طوري که نه در حال زندگي مي کنند نه در آينده
آن ها طوري زندگي مي کنند.،انگار هيچ وقت نمي ميرند
و جوري مي ميرند ....انگار هيچ وقت زنده نبودند
ما براي لحظاتي سکوت کرديم
سپس من پرسيدم..
مانند يک پدر کدام درس زندگي را مايل هستي که فرزندانت بياموزند؟
پاسخ داد:ياد بگيرند که نميتوانند ديگران را مجبور کنند که دوستشان داشته باشند
طوري رفتار کنند که مورد عشق و علاقه ديگران باشند
ياد بگيرند که خود را با ديگران مقايسه نکنند
ياد بگيرند ...ديگران را ببخشند با عادت کردن به بخشندگي
داريد ايجاد کنيد ياد بگيرند تنها چند ثانيه طول مي کشد تا زخمي در قلب کسي که دوستش
ولي سال ها طول مي کشد تا آن جراحت را التيام بخشيد
ياد بگيرند يک انسان ثروتمند کسي نيست که دارايي زيادي دارد
بلکه کسي هست که کمترين نيازوخواسته را دارد
ياد بگيرند کساني هستند که آن ها را از صميم قلب دوست دارند
ولي نميدانند چگونه احساس خود را بروز دهند
ياد بگيرند وبدانند ..دونفر مي توانند به يک چيز نگاه کنند
ولي برداشت آن ها متفاوت باشد
ياد بگيرند کافي نيست که تنها ديگران را ببخشند
بلکه انسان ها بايد قادر به بخشش و عفو خود نيز باشند
سپس من از خدا تشکر کردم و گفتم
آيا چيز ديگري هم وجود دارد که مايل باشي فرزندانت بدانند؟
خداوند لبخندي زد و پاسخ داد: فقط اين که بدانند من اين جا و با آن ها هستم..........براي هميشه

A blonde goes into a shop and asks if she can buy the TV that is in the window. The shopkeeper tells her "Sorry! We don't serve blondes." So she goes home and dyes her hair brown. She returns to the shop the next day and asks to buy the TV in the window. Again she is greeted with the same reply. Sorry we don't serve blondes. Thinking maybe her roots had given her away or she had missed a spot with the dye, she returns to the shop the next day wearing a wig, a pair of sunglasses and a large hat. She asks the shop keeper if she can buy the TV in the window and again he says "No sorry we don't serve blondes." Now the blonde is beginning to get naked. "How did you know I was blonde after all I did to my hair?" She shrieked manically. "Easy..." replied the shopkeeper. It's not a TV... It's a microwave."

washoe and the puzzles
Washoe is a monkey. she lives in a lab. The lab is a place where men and women study monkey and other animals. They study the animals to find out how they learn. One day a man put a puzzle in washoe’s cage. Washoe had to take the puzzle apart. Each time she did it right, the man gave her a slice of banana. Washoe didn’t eat the banana slices. She just put them there. The man made the puzzle harder. But washoe soon learned how to take it apart. Then the man ran out of bananas. What now? Would she keep on doing puzzles without a reward? Washoe looked at him. She waited. The man gave her the next puzzle. Washoe took it apart. Then she picked up a slice of banana. She put it outside the cage for the man! And so it went. The man would give washoe a puzzle. And she would give back a banana slice. She kept on until she had returned all the bananas. Washow learned many new puzzles that day. And the man learned something too. He learned that some monkeys don’t work puzzle only to get food. They do puzzles for the fun of it. Just like you and me!

A man and his dog!

2007-04-14T06:46:00.000-07:00

A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered dying, and that his faithful dog had been dead for many years. He wondered where the road was leading them. After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. As he reached the wall, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch, and the street that led to the gate made from pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"
"This is heaven, sir," the man answered.
"Wow! Would you happen to have some water? We have traveled far," the man said.
"Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up."
The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
"Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" the traveler asked.
"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets."
The man thought a moment, remembering all the years this dog remained loyal to him and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going. After another long walk he came to a plain dirt road, which led through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.
"Excuse me!" he called to the reader. "Do you have any water? We have traveled far."
"Yes, sure, there's a faucet over there." The man pointed to a place that couldn't be seen from outside the gate. "Come on in and help yourself."
"How about my friend here?" the traveler gestured to his dog.
"There should be a bowl by the faucet; he is welcome to share."
They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned faucet with a bowl beside it. The traveler filled the bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog. When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree waiting for them.
"What do you call this place?" the traveler asked.
"This is heaven," was the answer.
"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said. "The man down the road said that was heaven, too."
"Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's hell."
"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"
"No. We're just happy that they screen out the folks who'd leave their best friends behind in exchange for material things."

A GREY AREA -

A GREY AREA means something that is not clearly defined and needs careful judgement. For example:
"We have always had a professional attitude to copyrighted texts, but online copyright is still a bit of a grey area."
Many people think they know what right and wrong are, but on closer examination it's usually a grey area.
"It's a grey area isn't it?" (Meaning the speaker is talking about an unsure concept).
"I do well in math and most sciences, but chemistry is still kind of a grey area."

Ibrahim in the fire
To assist their gods and to take revenge on Ibrahim(P.B.U.H.), Namrud’s followers decided to burn him in a fire. Since, in their view, Ibrahim’s crime was of a social nature, all should participate in taking revenge on him and share in the0 reward of their act. To put their intention in to action they all began gathering fire wood. After only a few days, they had gathered a pile of wood as huge as a hill. Then, they lit the fire; little by little, the fire rose and its flames reached to the sky. There was so much wood that a great and terrifying fire was set in the desert. The heat of the fire was so much that it could burn a person from a distance. Using a catapult, they threw Ibrahim in to the fire and, therby, extinguished the flames of their anger and hatred. Ibrahim disappeared from the sight of the people in to the middle of the flames. The people exclaimed and cried out with joy because they thus had taken revenge on the enemy of their gods. Jibra’il ,the esteemed angel, descended to Ibrahimand said, ”O Ibrahim! Do you have any need? Tell me; I will bring it to pass.”
Ibrahim said,”I am not in need of you; I am in need of my Lord.” Then, he asked God to save him from the fire. By God’s Will, the fire became cold and safe, and Ibrahim was saved from being burned in it. Namrud and followers, who were looking at Ibrahim from around the fire, saw that, much to their surprise, such a horrifying and burning fire did not harm him at all;he was sitting comfortably in the middle of it. They were all staring at him with wonder and admiration. Namrud told those around him,”If someone worships a god, it must be such an able and powerful god like Ibrahim’s God.”?The people, who saw this great and Divine sign, realized the legitimacy of Ibrahim’s invitation. It was proven to them that the right and just path is the very one to which Ibrahim invited them; however, enmity, stubbornness, ignorance, and the love of wealth and position prevented them from accepting Ibrahim’s invitation. Most of the people remained idolators, and only a small group of them joined Ibrahim.

ابراهیم در آتش
پیروان نمرود برای کمک به خدایان خودوانتقام ازابراهیم تصمیم گرفتند که اورادرآتش بسوزانندوچون به اعتقادآنها جرم ابراهیم جنبه ی عمومی داشت همه مردم بایددرانتقام گرفتن از ابراهیم شرکت کنندوازپاداش خوب این عملشان بهره مندشوند. بدین جهت به جمع کردن هیزم مشغول شدندچند روزنگذشته بودکه به اندازه کوهی هیزم جمع کردند. بعد آتش روشن کردند،آتش کم کم بالا گرفت و شعله اش به آسمان می رسید.آنقدرهیزم زیاد بودکه آتش عظیم وهولناکی دربیابان به وجودآمدحرارت آتش ازدورانسان را می سوزانید.ابراهیم رابامنجنیق به میان آتش پرتاب کردند تابدین وسیله آتش خشم وکینه خود رافروبنشانند. ابراهیم درمیان آتش ازچشم مردم پنهان شد.فریادوغریوشادی ازمردم برخاست زیرابه این وسیله ازدشمن خدایانشان انتقام گرفته بودند. حال باید ببینیم آتش باابراهیم چه کرد؟ ابراهیم درمیان آتش راه می رفت که جبرِِئيل امین فرشته ی مقرب پروردگارخودرابه اورسانیدوگفت: ای ابراهیم آیا حاجتی داری؟به من بگوتابرایت فراهم کنم. ابراهیم گفت : به تونیازی ندارم، اما به پروردگارم نیازمندم. بعد از خدا خواست تا او را ازآتش نجات بدهد. به فرمان خداوندآتش برای ابراهیم سردوسلامت شدوازسوخته شدن درامان ماند. نمرود وپیروانش که ازاطراف آتش به اونگاه می کردند. باتعجب بسیاردیدند که آن آتش هولناک وسوزان هیچگونه آسیبی به ابراهیم ونرسانیده واوبراحتی درمیان آتش نشسته است.همگی با حیرت وتحسین به او خیره شده بودند. نمرودبه اطرافیان خود گفت: اگر کسی خدایی را می پرستد باید مانند خدای ابراهیم باشدکه چنین قادروتواناست. مردم که این آیت بزرگ الهی را دیدند،به حقانیت دعوت ابراهیم پی بردندوبرایشان ثابت شد که راه راست ودرست همان است که ابراهیم آنهارابه آن دعوت می کند. اما دشمن ولجاجت ونادانی ودوستی مال ومقام مانع شد که به دعوت ابراهیم ایمان بیاورند.بیشترمردم بت پرست باقی ماندندوعده ی کمی به ابراهیم گرویدند.

IBRAHIM BUILDS KA’BA
One time that Ibrahim(P.B.U.H.)went to Mecca, he told his son, “My dear son, god has commanded me to rebuild His Holy House, the ka’ba.”Isma’il(P.B.U.H.)immediately declared his readiness to help Ibrahim(P.B.U.H.)fulfil the Divine commandment. With reliance on the Divine power, they hurried to the site of the Ka’ba with the necessary tools and began the job with a firm intention. They called upon God, ”Our Lord !Accept this service from us, for you are the All-hearing, All-Knowing. Our Lord! Make us Muslims, bowing to your will; and make our progeny Muslims, bowing to your will. Show us our places for the celebration of due rites , and turn to us in mercy, for you are the all-Forgiving , All-merciful. ”Isma’il(P.B.U.H.)gathered stones from the desert and Ibrahim(P.B.U.H.)rebuilt the Ka’ba until the walls were raised. Jibra’il-God’s esteemed angel, who was Ibrahim’s guide in all situations showed them the site of “Hajar-ol-Aswad”, the black stone. They dug the stone out of the ground, and Ibrahim(P.B.U.H.) placed it in the spot where it remains today. He made two doors for the Ka’ba one toward the East, the other toward the West. When the construction of the Ka’ba was completed, Ibrahim(P.B.U.H.)and Isma’il(P.B.U.H.) performed the pilgrimage (Hajj) rites. Then Ibrahim(P.B.U.H.)Raised his hands in supplication, saying, ”My Lord, make this a city of peace and feed with fruits those of its people who believe in God and the Last Day."

Ibrahim and a sign of resurrection
God, the Exalted, created Ibrahim(P.B.U.H.) to guide the misled people and idolaters and granted him the position of prophethood. Ibrahim (P.B.U.H.) and whole-hearted faith in God and didn’t allow any doubt to enter his heart. However, in order to understand the true essence of things, he asked God to show him how he raises the dead. There came a call from God, “do you not yet believe in resurrection, Ibrahim?”
Ibrahim (P.B.U.H.) replied, “surely I have believed, but I want to see it obviously in order to reach the point of perfect certitude.” Since Ibrahim’s intention was to increase his knowledge and certitude, God accepted his request. He told Ibrahim(P.B.U.H.) hunt and kill four birds, cut them up, and mix their parts and pieces together. Then, divide the mixed flesh in to several portions; put each portion on the top of a separate mountain; after that, call them one by one until, by the Command of God, they revive and come flying to you. Ibrahim (P.B.U.H.) did as commanded by God. After killing, cutting up, and dividing the flesh of the birds, and putting each portion on a separate mountain, he called them; the pieces of the birds’ dead bodies came together from the different places, spirit was blown into them, and they became alive again. Ibrahim (P.B.U.H.) witnessed, with his own eyes, one of the great signs of the power of God in the revival of the dead; his heart, filled with faith, reached the point of perfect certitude.
ابراهیم و نشانه ای از رستاخیز
خداوند متعال ابراهیم را برای راهنمایی مردم بت پرست وگمراه خلق واورا به مقام پیغمبری رسانید.ابراهیم از ته دل به خدا ایمان داشت و ذره ای شک وتردید به خودش راه نمی داد ولی برای اینکه حقیقت اشیاء برایش روشن بشود و حقیقت همه ی چیزها را به خوبی بشناسد از خدا خواست که به او نشان بدهد که چگونه مردگان را زنده می کند. ندا آمد که ای ابراهیم مگربه زنده شدن مردگان ایمان نیاورده ای؟ ابراهیم گفت: البته ایمان آورده ام ولی می خواهم که آشکارا ببینم تا به یقین کامل برسم.چون مقصود ابراهیم اطمینان خاطر بود، خداوند به او وحی فرستادکه چهارپرنده رابگیروآنها را بکش وگوشت های آنهاراباهم بکوب که کاملا مخلوط شود.بعد گوشتها را چند قسمت بکن وهر قسمت را بر سر کوهی بگذار. سپس آنها را یکی یکی صدا بزن تا به فرمان خدا زنده شوندوبه نزد تو بیایند.ابراهیم به فرمان خدا عمل کرد.بعد از کشتن و کوبیدن و تقسیم کردن گوشت پرندگان هر قسمتی را بر سرکوهی گذاشت آنگاه آنها را صدا زد ازهر جا جزئی ازقسمت پرندگان جمع شد. وبه هم متصل شدند وجان در جسم شان دمیده شد، دوباره جان گرفتند و زنده شدند. ابراهیم یکی ازبزرگترین نشانه های قدرت پروردگار رادرزنده کردن مردگان با چشم خود مشاهده کرد. قلبش که پر از ایمان بود به یقین کامل نیزرسید
