What is YOUR world view?
Today was the first day at university. One of the classes I took
was for the course "Philosophy of Islam". Naturally, I expected
a bearded old man to enter the class to deliver lectures about
everything that I have been reading since primary school.
The guy who eventually entered the classroom was an old man
whose demeanor was quite old school. His name is Tufail Qureshi.
When he started to speak, I could not move. Every word seemed to
be sinking deep in my heart. And all I could hear in my head
were that words that summarize the truth about the universe:
"Energy is all ... Energy is all ... Energy is all ..."
Although he was speaking in a slightly different perspective,
but the core message was the same that I keep emphasizing on at
my website and blog.
He emphasized that all the wise sages - Muhammad, Jesus Christ,
Moses, Buddha, Socrates - they all brought the same message:
that you need to reflect!!
Your reflections, your thoughts create your world view. And your
world view creates your world, your reality.
To quote the precise words of Mr. Tufail Qureshi, "If you don't
like your world, just change it!" And you change your world by
changing your world view. As Song Chengxiang says, "Change the
way you look at things, and the things you look at change."
Nothing can ever be observed independent of the observer. You
see what you choose to see. So think .. reflect ... What is YOUR
world view? Because that is the precise blueprint of your outer
reality.
