A CALL TO THE RIGHTOUS PATH IS A MEANING, BUT WITH LABELS.
An endeavor which endures in human life is righteous living. The task of calling unto this path is a meaning but due to variation in human language, it is label differently.
It is fundamental fact in our life that labels are preceded by meanings. In life we have things and their interactions in existence which we thus label. The things exist first, then we label them. In the same sense interactions. Furthermore, the abstractions we derive from the things and their interactions first exist. Theses we label concepts. What we refer to as languages is nothing but the labels. Language is man made and not perfect. In a particular language, sometimes a single thing has various labels, at another time a particular label represent many things, the basis of ambiguity in human languages. While the things and their interactions remain the same under the same conditions, the labels varies from people to people and from time to time. And while some labels are related to the things represented, some are not.
What you and I know as land[a thing] remains what it is anywhere, any time. But in human languages, it has various labels. What you and I know as plant growing on a piece of land[interaction] remains what it is anywhere, any time . But again, various labels in human languages. The story is the same with our concepts. Look at truth and falsehood among others for example. Truth is the existence of a thing as it is. Falsehood on the other hand is the denial of the truth. But in various languages there are various labels for these concepts.
In human expression of life, the labels are sometimes misapplied especially the concepts. At another time, the meanings which labels represent are lost but the labels retained.
The issue is this, human beings via their hearts love based on the value of a thing. We protect the said love by hatred. Our value and of consequence our love are in hierarchy. The topmost in the hierarchy is our god and that is what we worship. By worship here, we mean intense love.
Human being by his choice has empowered the selfish self in his sacred house [the heart] which is the sit of love. The consequence is his arrogance and rebellious against the nature. We have by this relegated ourselves below the status of human beings we are created to be. The rule of jungle prevails in our life. The survival of the fittest and the might is right. Human lord over others either by deception or by force. This has been the basis of systems which overtime emanated from human unguided desires. They are the same misguidance but come with different labels. The recent is the celebrated democracy.
The fact is that nothing deserves the said sacred house in human life but the merciful lord who out of His mercy not by our right has created us the best of his creatures and provided for us all our needs. What a favour?
This has been and remains the message for humankinds. There is only one lord. That is the merciful creator. There is no human lord. We are all human beings, individuals given brains as our sight and the sense of right and wrong as the guide. Yes, some are grateful and some instead are rebellious, yet we are in the same house, earth and interacting.
The grateful ones who submit to the lordship of our creator and look forward to give stewardship of the opportunities provided are mindful of their life. Such are the righteous ones. Again, a meaning but various labels. By my scripture, these are the muslims. A point of importance, among those label as jews , Christians who live this truthful life are by all standard muslims regardless of their labels. And those identify as muslims, cease to be, should they deviate from the truthful pattern of life.
Fundamentally, the righteous pattern of life has two practical manifestations:
�?????�????�???�??�?�¢?�?????�????�???�??�?�¢ Continuous struggle to always accept the truth of issues especially when against our desires. This is a must for us to remain alive on the path of righteousness. It is a continuous struggle so long we are conscious.
�?????�????�???�??�?�¢?�?????�????�???�??�?�¢ The struggle to ensure that human beings are given their basic rights:
a. The right to basic bodily needs needed for healthy body.
b. The right to correct information.
Whether or not one would chose to be righteous , a person is entitled to these basic rights.
And no one, I repeat, no one will give the right to humankind as we are all selfish except those who out of conviction have submitted their life to the only lord and look forward to give stewardship of their opportunities..
It is for this reason the righteous ones have the responsibility to take charge of affairs from the devils, the rebels, the politicians of the world who are at helm of affairs today.
The world is created on the truth, for that, it is the truth that will triumph.
THINK ABOUT IT.
