Pakistan ka Matlab Kia??*
The advertise of "Parhny likhny k siwa, Pakistan ka matlab kia" on Geo TV always disturb me. It makes me think, how would the education, they talk about in it, be able to change our generation's attitude and help us to work for the betterment of Pakistan? Because our education system is a total failure. It lacks the vision, reforms, and principles which a nation need to teach their young ones. In fact our syllabus has not been changed for like 40 years. I was shocked to discover some 6 or 7 years back that I studied same syllabus which my mother studied in her metric and on-wards. Would this kind of a syllabus make Pakistan a better place? Is it the meaning of Pakistan? Was it what Quaid, Iqbal, Jauhar, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan had in mind when they proposed and worked for Pakistan? A stagnant stale rotten education system which doesn't even help students to walk with the rest of the world? Make them slaves of the advanced nation and in inferiority complex with them? Sure...
My first response was "how creative"! Then my thought, based on own experiences with spiritual disciplines is a question: "How can we turn our obligations and prayer life into something life-giving, joyous and even simplified? That is the question I ask self about three times a week.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I get a few answers. But I'd love to hear first from you, Noor, and your readers. :)
Connie I liked your question. In my opinion; when we are really going to manifest these obligations in our dealings with people, when these obligations are not mere rituals but full fledged indulgence-we are going to have what you said something life-giving, joyous.
Deletebecause you know these obligations (which are performed time to time in all day long) are the reason for us to keep reminding ourselves that there is a Superior Being to whom we have to return to (eventually).
we have to be equally God-fearing when we are out of, say, state of fasting and stuff.
Be conscious of Him.
I hope it answered your question. :)
