Humans are the weirdest creatures in the universe. You may try a million attempts; you can’t guess nor predict what will be his response in certain situations. His behavior, action and reaction are an incomprehensible and have no link with reasoning and logical thinking. In fact human is a big puzzle. Sometimes Instincts occupy him and he does what is not appreciating for his thinking. In whole life he cannot explore himself then how can others do. Every moment there is a circus going around us. Events connected with grief, joy, hate and love surprise our heart and upset the soul. What we cannot even imagine is happening. People do not fall from the sight only but humanity. Is it possible? A question becomes riddle in front of us and our conscience shrinks. The human being is a bond of emotions, then how can he be happy by crushing the feelings of others. Looking alike in appearance and status but are divided into different degrees of thinking and behavior. The principle of divide is dynamic in every process of this universe. Somewhere it is guaranty of new life but often creating obstacles and pushing life towards problems and complications. The difference between the thoughts encourages one to defeat the other. The consequences of oppression manifest in new forms.

Our Sufis call the negation of self, the beginning of Sufism, because unless man takes control of himself, defeats his anger, arrogance, jealousy and other psychic evils, does not let his actions to be controlled by thought

It does not matter that man is unaware of the consequences of specific actions. He sees logical result and terrible end of the evil characters in the museum of history. But he forgets that it can happen to him. Whenever his conscious warns him, he quickly gets off the window of reasoning. In fact the intoxication of power overcomes him completely. In everyday life, gentleness in mood, kindness in conversation can make matters worse – sometimes the ordinary thing looks so arrogant due to the rough tone. That not only makes it difficult for the listener to bear, but also to ignore. Probably humans are particularly attuned to power. Being strong is another matter and its inappropriate expression is different thing. Positions and designations are of great interest to humanity if duty and service are associated with the betterment of people. The good practices of those in power have led to positive thinking in the society. Today is the era of science and technology. Who has blessed the world with countless miracles and miraculous inventions, but the biggest trade today is not based on food, medicine or luxuries, but rather weapons destroying humans and sterilizing the earth. Atom bombs, hydrogen bombs how many harmful items are collected without thinking that even though he will escape but his generation will suffer definitely. A big tragedy the world is facing is that some ruling humans of powerful countries make mistakes and wrong decisions to hostage people of developing countries and occupy their resources. The whole battle is not due to resources but to overcome and satisfy animal instinct. They remember those moral values that are crushed under foot.

To hurt someone s feeling and degrading dignity is not a mistake but crime. Because killing feelings and dignity is not less terrible than murdering. The response to our petty wrongs keeps accumulating and then at some point, they all together form a storm to attack in such a way, where no chance of survival is possible. Human is a man of mistakes, therefore when committed mistakes go towards rectification, things are handled. Just like cleaning the floors and doors of the house every day. This is the case with the caste itself. In addition to the outward glow, there is a need to remove the nets in the interior, and sweep them. Only then dirt can be prevented from becoming moldy. Forgiveness is the rain that drains everyone’s anger. It is important that the feeling of the passage of time does not disappear from human eyes. If the feeling dies, the scorn of conscience does not work either. We see that except Sufi, Saints and the God-fearing people, every human being has a small evil or a Pharaoh in himself, which in time, expresses cruelty and spreads terror. All the mischief, all the fighting and hate is due to the same Pharaoh’s thinking. Our Sufis call the negation of self, the beginning of Sufism, because unless man takes control of himself, defeats his anger, arrogance, jealousy and other psychic evils, does not let his actions to be controlled by thought. Can neither be useful to, nor can it hold itself to continue its journey towards heights. The concept of master and slave is present on every line.
