KOSHWA & SAHAWAN
A PARABLE OF PEACE BY AN OLD MAN
The old man said, “If you will listen to me carefully, GOD will guide you towards the right path.”
“Hurt not even a non-believer because there is no compulsion in peace and wherever there is a compulsion, there is no peace and according to GOD, there is no religion other than peace. GOD ordained right path means that GOD ordained the nature of living beings to be their religion, to walk straight with knowledge & wisdom.”
“GOD commands not but what is good for everyone. When GOD says “do not rob others” in fact means that others should not rob you and it further means that robber will be robbed in the moral state of GOD as a punishment for robbing others and the one who robs not will not be robbed and that is the law of GOD.”
“Our nature wants peace, that is why GOD commands “kill all the killers who follow killing as a religion and are the enemies of peace”. Peace is for peaceful & right is for the righteous and the way commanded by GOD is the only way of GOD, not the way commanded by a king or a lord or a god other than GOD because there is no god other than GOD who can put us in some profit or loss. GOD Almighty never spares a king who becomes a king instead of becoming a servant of GOD and that is what annoys GOD and GOD tolerates not the king-ship of those who become gods or kings or lords and run affairs according to their own will and by such acts, whosoever will raise sword against GOD, will be killed with the sword and that is the vengeance of GOD.”
“Ages ago there was a king who was very cruel, rigid and was a dictator of his own nature. He used to kill people for wealth, cattle, women, land & for many other reasons. His name was Koshwa (the god of people). Koshwa used to follow his own laws and was a merciless king. When his greed & lust crossed all the limits and his sword started to lick the blood of innocent people due to his desires, a wise person of Koshwa’s kingdom went to see the servant of GOD of that time & told him each & everything and asked him to request GOD to help the people of Koshwa’s kingdom.”
The servant of GOD said to Koshwa, “You will be killed if you will not act according to GOD. GOD likes not a ruler who rules people of GOD according to his own laws but likes a king who rules over people according to the commandments of GOD with justice & as a servant of GOD. Be a good king, a humble servant of GOD, kind to people of GOD and ask GOD for the forgiveness of your sins. Follow the laws of GOD & I am here to guide you, so do you accept GOD or not; what is your answer?”
Koshwa laughed at the servant of GOD and said “I am a god myself and I will teach a severe lesson to all those who will not follow my commandments. Can’t you see my kingdom, vaster than any other king or god, I suggest you to go back and never bother to advise me again, I don’t know why, but I spare your neck. Tell your GOD that I will never accept your GOD and will cut the neck of GOD if your GOD will even interferes in my matters and tell your GOD that no one can ever conquer me, I will not spare you if you will come again, be off, don’t underestimate my power.”
The servant of GOD migrated to a far away kingdom, where the king Sahawan heard him carefully and asked him for his guidance. The servant of GOD told him that he has brought news of victory over Koshwa for him and told him that GOD wants him to fight with Koshwa till a complete victory and peace on earth. Sahawan agreed and announced the battle.
Four times larger than the army of Sahawan, the army of Koshwa began their attack but found not any breakthrough till evening even by bearing a lot of loss of lives. Next day, before the day break, Sahawan’s army attacked the army of Koshwa like a stormy wind and till the day break they dipped their swords in the blood of Koshwa’s soldiers and returned by putting fire in their tents.
Second day’s attack of Koshwa increased his loss further, until evening his best cavaliers were killed. The battle finally settled on third day, Sahawan’s army attacked and broke through Koshwa’s army and defeated him in few hours. Koshwa tried to escape but was caught & was taken as a prisoner.
Sahawan summoned Koshwa in his court after six days of victory and asked Koshwa to pay ransom for his life and before Koshwa’s answer, the servant of GOD reached in the court of Sahawan. When the king Sahawan saw the servant of GOD, he said “Thank GOD, the victory is complete now and according to the tradition, I am settling the amount of ransom with Koshwa.” —– “Ransom, what ransom, GOD gave you the victory so that you cut Koshwa’s head off but you are betraying GOD & the sword of GOD. GOD is severe in punishment and spares not the enemies at any cost.” Then the servant of GOD took Sahawan’s sword with a rapid action and in a single blow, cut Koshwa’s head off, then took Koshwa’s head in his hands and showed it to Sahawan and said, “This is the end of those who become gods & kings other than GOD & follow not GOD as their Lord, look at this head, it was a king a moment before and you have the same head on your shoulders and even if you will not follow the commandments of GOD, same is going to be the end of yours. You wanted ransom but GOD wanted his head, so now GOD won the battle —– and according to barbarian’s tradition, you took Koshwa’s women, children & men as your slaves & took cattles of the people in your possession & robbed other things of innocent people instead of helping them while they asked GOD for help & GOD blessed us victory over Koshwa as a result of their prayers. Since GOD wanted to help them and you robbed them, your act is against the will of merciful GOD, the tradition of robbing innocent people after victory like Koshwa can never be followed as a commandment of GOD and can never be held as an act of peace which is the only religion of GOD Almighty.
“Sahawan, listen carefully, the difference in you & Koshwa must be the difference of right & wrong. Remember King Solomon as an example who never took any ransom to allow the wrong and never robbed the people as a victorious king. Let all the prisoners go free and return their robbed things because it’s a kingdom of GOD and you have no right to snatch from the innocent people what GOD has given them”.
“True religion is for GOD and there is no religion other than the religion of GOD and religion of GOD is PEACE, peace for everyone whether someone believes GOD or not, there is no compulsion in peace, the religion of GOD, as there is no god other than GOD and GOD is Merciful and mercy of GOD is for everyone and Merciful GOD commands that there is no compulsion in religion of peace, therefore, those who will raise sword to enforce their own law as god or lords or kings and will follow the traditions of barbarians and will allow the false religions prevail through ransom, as a punishment, will taste the sword of GOD and GOD will never take any ransom to spare them without severe punishment and those who will challenge GOD in the commandments of GOD will bleed to death and they will be killed by their own slaves or by the true followers of the religion of peace. GOD likes not the killing and that is why GOD commands “Kill those who make killing a religion and are enemies of the people of GOD.”
Then the servant of GOD threw Koshwa’s head on the ground, stared at Sahawan and left his court and was not seen again by anyone.
READ
“Read to learn” ___ “Read with the leave of your Lord what your Lord created.”
PICTURES OF THE THINGS ARE THE WORDS OF GOD
“Read” clearly means that cosmic order of the universe & things in it make the universe a picture book of GOD for the readers. Each & everything is a picture indeed readable as a word of GOD. ___ “Read” also means that all of the creatures & their affairs contain verses of GOD which wise can easily read in the language of his own. ___ “Read”
tells us that all things are pictures and all pictures are names and all names are words and all words are voices and all voices contain their pictures in them to be things again in the brain.
ONLY MANKIND READS & WRITES
No one other than mankind reads & writes as they are taught to read & write. Only mankind has schools & libraries.
Schools are the places where teachers teach to read pictures or to understand things with the help of pictures, to awake conscious and realization. Libraries are the places where already known pictures are stocked as treasures of knowledge for those who are in search of facts.
All dictionaries contain nothing but the pictures of the album of universe & cosmos in words which make pictures of the seen & unseen in brain.
MEANINGS OF ‘READ’
The first meaning of “Read” is to look at and understand and that is what GOD means by commanding “Read”. Reading is learning and learning is essential for life to understand all things properly.
So let’s read the trees for example. It is said that the trees which bring fruits & flowers are planted in the gardens and the tress which bring not the fruits & flowers are used as a fuel. This reading reveals that the people who serve others according to the commandments of GOD to please their GOD will enter in the gardens of heaven or paradise and those who follow not the commandments of GOD will burn in hell and that is a verse or the word of GOD.
GOD our Lord says “If the readers of universe & cosmos start writing their reading, the seas of ink & the pens made of trees will not suffice to record the verses of divine truth, even if another stock of ink & pens of the same size is brought to help.”
It simply means that the picture book of the Lord is limitless for the wise readers. This universe & the worlds in it are infinite than the words of GOD which are already revealed to the readers as Holy Scriptures. GOD made the reading essential through introducing the power of question to creatures. All questions are in fact incomplete answers and through reading acquire their completion to satisfy the mind & heart. All questions wake awareness and critical questions put the line of differentiation between right & wrong, true & false, real & unreal and between divine & satanic. Questions are questions because of the answers.
READING THE SELF
IF A BLIND WILL FOLLOW A BLIND
THEN BOTH WILL FALL IN A DITCH
GOD our Lord enabled everyone’s heart worth reading the good & bad and right & wrong itself. So whosoever follows good commanded by GOD in heart is righteous and whosoever follows one’s own will & follows not the good commanded by GOD in heart is bad and is wrong in all affairs.
The one who is GOD fearing & pious-hearted & is innocent like a child can read the right commanded by GOD and can know the wrong which appears in heart and the one who is wicked, can not read right & wrong due to one’s acts which are sins & cause blindness of heart and ultimately by ignoring GOD & the commandments of GOD becomes a heart-blind, unable to see, realize & understand the Divine truth. So the commandment is for the wise only who observes the verses of GOD and it is the wise to whom GOD commanded “Read” ___ look at & understand ___ “Read” ___ the creatures & their affairs to know what GOD has inspired for heart & mind. “Read” is a commandment
which means “Read yourself” and ask not a sin lover or a blind to show you the path. GOD says so because GOD wants to show you the path through reading ___ so just “Read” ___ and “Read” because your Lord commands you and has enabled you to read. “Read”, read & read to know the verses around and the divine truth.
