What is useful Knowledge of all the times?

Since long I sharing with friends  That one thing we have is our knowledge  And the other thing is our knowing  One thing is what we know and the other is what we understand  We must understand the difference between these two  With knowledge you can talk very well  in a gathering .

 

You can convince the people with logic. If you wish ,you can write an article you can make other people speechless. But your life doesnt change because of your knowledge. It happens based on your knowing. The one which has become your true believe Let me tell you two paradoxical things.

 

You must have heard that Prophet Muhammad PBUH said that acquire knowlwdge from the womb of your mother till womb of the grave and we used to read this The some of our mystics started saying (Narrating a verse) "stop learning my friend" It appeared so paradoxical that on one side.

 

They are great people and they are asking not to get knowledge you must have heard the second part of this...what is that? "stop learning my friend". yes you only require the first alphabet that is "alaF' you need not to know all the alphabets just the first one...I worked on it to know what it actually means.

 

 It is the same, which is the difference between knowledge and knowing The knowledge which is being asked to acquire.. That is the knowing and the one which is being asked not to get is the one on mere knowledge If you look at our spiritual poetry. It is just the burden of misery on you.

 

Do the ablution with wine of love as you have filth inside out when we started the worship of love, we forgot all temples and mosques .you must have heard this Basically, I feel that in life we have to get academic knowledge for our living...like you should know.

The cause of pain in right side of abdomen  and the causes of blood in vomitus and stool...as it is important academic knowledge to built the body of knowledge But for changing the life and change in our attitude in a particular way is not possible with Knowledge alone.

 

We need knowing for that And knowing doesn't have specific words Knowing is a specific pattern happening in you Obviously knowledge does contribute in it what you have read and learnt...but just the knowledge without a firm believe in it "EEMAN" is nothing Eman is is a state in which you have a conviction about something you trust on something.

 

You fall in love with something. Knowing is what you get as a combination of these two and that changes our life .... you must have met many learned people They will be talking high , but their own life will be opposite to what they say An elder about whom I often talk. His name was Naik Muhammad.

He is not in this world now....He once said to me (according to him)...My son..You have an effective tongue so you must talk to the people.But he said..You have to put two restrictions on yourself No 1. Don't say anything which is not in your practice see...how big condition is this. 

How big condition is this........ 

don't say that word 

which is not in your practice 

and second, don't say anything about which you don't know 

some times we say some thing....may it be 

Religious or non-religious 

but we have no clue about it 

ooo this America is going to destroy another country 

Do you have any evidence?

Similarly we say religious stuff without 

any clear understanding...so he said to me 

and this is hanging over me like 

a sharp sword.

'Don't say a word which you are not practicing" 

Just image, who doesn't like to talk good things? 

But when you have to pass it through this filter 

that you practice it or not? Then what do you 

have to say..I often feel, we should just stay silent 

because, what do we have to say?

But the benefit I had was that since it was his command for me to talk, 

so I had a obligation to bring 

it to my practice with effort. 

so I go into that exercise...so answer to your first question is 

that......in this world.

all sorts of things have been said 

as the poet Saif  said, " it is the way of talking 

that changes the talk" 

Otherwise, there is nothing new to said in this world. 

What ever new you say, it only differs in its was of expression. 

But what I am saying to you is that, we 

must follow that part of knowledge which is part of our 

heart felt understanding. .May it be tiny 

see in life hereafter, as we read in Quran. 

even a speck of "reman" is enough. 

obvious, as we grown in reman, the level 

of it will increase. 

But whatever our knowledge is 

it must not be just on our lips 

and you try by putting a restriction on your self that you will only say 

those words which are part of your practice 

or part of your knowing. .and you will see that 

you will stay silent for long. 

But after some time that will become part of your practice 

I think..

what ever you mentioned about that culture 

we must in our life 

bring those things which really part of our understanding 

and we say only those thing about which we are convinced 

only than it will be effective 

The second thing was about medical profession...I think others will be singled out 

so...I will answer that at some other time 

This is a leisure time 

so there is no formal talk.
