The Tresures of the World

Once a pious man lived in a village.Being the elder of the village he was living a life extremely according to the teachings of Islam. For the purpose of education he had sent his only son to a far place.When he returned his father asked him for help concerning the common issues of the villagers as he is going to be the same as his father in the future and he has to adopt himself to the simple way of living.The man felt great distress to hear a complete refusal from his son.The boy didn't wanted to have his rest of the life wasted up in the narrow streets of the village.And informed his father that he has planned his life,which would lead him to be a more successful man and will get everything he wanted but could never get until now.
        Knowing the notions of his son the old man tried to persuade him to the reality of this world and the worthlessness of the worldly desires, but all he could do was to try for nothing.His son was not ready to hear anything.
       The man being worried about his son, sent him to a sage lived in the outskirts of the village.When the boy went there and met the sage, the wise man asked him one simple question,"what would you desire for if you get all the secrets and treasures of the world known to you and then reborn after you die?". The boy looked obscured towards the sage's question.The sage overlooking his bewilderment asked about his experience so far about the life and his learning.The boy replied in brief, saying "Life is like a sea with all its wrath in waves will try to subdue your journey at times while at times it will push you closer to your destiny, and the one is successful who reaches the shore withstanding the difficulties." Hearing this the sage discontinued the meeting and asked the boy to meet him the next day.
        The boy arrived at the place being told of, the next morning.The wise man was standing on the mound nearby.As the boy was about to say something the sage started,while pointing towards the highest peak of the mountains in the direction,"These are the mountains of wisdom, endowing the experience and knowledge of the mentors of the ages.And what i want you to do is, journey across these mountains and reach that peak edge while observing on the way all the things you have missed so far in your life.And if you succeeded in the task you will find a treasure as a reward to your success in return on the other side of the edge." The boy agreed willingly.
       He prepared himself for the voyage and set out the next day.Travelling across the big rocks and meadows through day and night for several days,he finally arrived at the top edge of the range.But strongly regretted to see beyond the edge was nothing but a stretched horizon only showing the waters of a mighty sea.At first he regretted having travelled a hundred miles to find out nothing but a strip of waves.Gazing at the horizon unsatisfied for a while he then tried to comprehend the purpose of the sage for sending him to such a place.Then he went back to the sage for complaint.
         When he returned and asked the sage about his experience, the wise man answered "The desires for the worldly gains are ever increasing and can never be full filled just like to climb a mountain and still unsatisfied, then you jump into even a more deeper sea of desires, but the success you achieved in climbing the mountain will never be satisfactory",after a pause he said "Now think of the first question i asked you in the beginning!". The boy looked into the eyes of the wise man for a while and decided to go back to his father.On his return he apologized to his father and accepted his demand.

Universe Expansion

I have been watching videos over youtube about the scientific fact that the Universe is being expanding through the very start of its life,'THE BIG BANG'. The endless Universe created out of nothing can actually be inflated to such a boundless space and acumulate an amount of mass no one can ever imagine to come into being out of nothingness, is the biggest reality of our universe. I have been thinking what would be the reason for the creation of this huge,if GOD really exist, or the cause of it,if it came into being spontaneously.
          Being a Muslim, I relize that human beings are the only intelligent life form in the Universe so we are the reasons of it.But what difference can we make with ourselves to this endless and soo huge place? Just imagine yourself standing on the porch of your house,where your house is big enough to be recognised in a full view of your city blog,and the city blog in a full view of the city,and the city in the state,state on the world map,our planet Earth having considerable size among the other Planets of the Solar system,Solar system in turn to the Milky way(our Galaxy) which in turn contains billions of stars(of which our Sun is the one),and then trying to find out your home among the 1,25,000 Galxies in the whole Universe...........! Its just a thing you can only imagine,but at this place I have to mention another marvelous fact that we humans being soo minute to this universe are still able to take a full picture of the whole place in our imagination.So it means human's imagination is still bigger than the Universe itself. With this I came to realize that, this one reason, and many more we can have, is the reason we are here.Regardless the size and the influence we can have we still have much grater impact.
