Literature connects our lives to the essence of being

Author: Kashif Fida Baloch

Let there be someone holding his nerves for the sake of literature that deals with the eternal feelings and emotion of men, So as the truth of life asking men for the better experiences and relaxation of self-esteems which however need the contributions of literature only if there is survival.

Literature is not only limited within the books of Thomas Hardy nor is it the collections of William Shakespeare, but in fact, this is the only dream which everyone dreams about their entire life. That dream is imagining a poet elaborating his poetry setting in a mountainous place where only birds can fly. What kind of birds? Yes! The only soul of nature whose sound is very precious to the living creatures like the flowing of waterfall, the unbelievable view of a sunset, the silence of the oceans during the prayers and the beauty of clouds with their unusual pouring. Let there be more entertainment when the body starts dancing for the eternal peace which also looks for the beauty of nature in one way or another. The nature, whose mere role is to convey us the reality of life, is consisting countless pleasures and sorrows where one knows the true essence of life. Additionally, literature connects our lives to essence of being and the assurance of eternity. It does remind one of the major concept of this universe which is ruled by the only creator and it enshrines the blessings of the only God whose mercies are countless.

In deep thought, sometimes, I imagine how I exist. May be that is the power of my inner consciousness asking me for getting one more opportunity to seek nature in my surroundings. Undoubtedly, literature is all about the moral ethics of individuals. This is only because a man is recognised by the actions he does or the friends he keeps and seemingly, moral attitudes do play an integral role in our lives for counting the pleasures which we receive from the beauty of nature. In other words, nature is termed as silence in one’s mind since it deals with the feelings and emotion of the characters who are in deep thought. Those thoughts ultimately can be the reasons of joy and happiness.

Undoubtedly, the poetry of Mubarak Qazi, Munir Momin, Manzoor Bismil and others have been instrumental in keeping literature intact. Such personalities are rare and their contributions to literature have been immense. Literature is not something found in books nor is it anything available in the markets, but something present in the soul of a person only if they know the pattern of its elaboration

All those pieces and contributions are the signs that we are connected to literature like the expressions of Arundhati Roy in her God of Small Things which describes that who should be loved and how much, and the adventurous journey of Joseph Andrews in Henry Fielding’s novel which denies the reality of men in today’s world. Similarly, modern literature is deeply blessed with praiseworthy poets like Mirza Ghalib, Tariq Ali and so on who deny the facts of literature and its importance. I love to know myself in my language more than other languages and therefore I strongly pay a tribute to the beloved personalities who have been solid for the sake of Balochi literature.

Undoubtedly, the poetry of Mubarak Qazi, Munir Momin, Manzoor Bismil and others have been instrumental in keeping literature intact. Such personalities are rare and their contributions to literature have been immense. Likely, I love to know the essence of literature in my own concept beyond the expressions of several critics and writers. Honestly, literature is not something found in books nor it’s anything available in the markets, but something present in the soul of the human beings only if they know the pattern of its elaboration. This is why today, poets are highly respected because they have been more connected to the nature and they can feel it very well like the imaginative poetries of Munir Momin and Mubarak Qazi. They are such personalities whose love is countless when I find myself in literature.

Thus, literature is an art but not everybody is an artist. This is what needs a kind of understanding which can only be produced when there is love and respect for an object. This is not only limited within the books of history but in fact, more than that present in our hearts and minds which only needs to be felt. Literature is the blessing of God and everybody is blessed with those qualities only if there is sincerity towards their professions. I love literature because this is the reason I can understand the real essence of my life which is not only to listen and play but to experience and try more as more as possible.
