Mysteries of Mysticism

So I see that Mr. Mughal do revels in rhetorical vocalization. The problem with the rhetoric expression is that its energy and momentum can drag you into linguistic pleasure that can drape the truth in the cover of your artistry.

I asked Mr. Mughal a simple question “what do you know about Ibn Arabi or Sirhindi? How is that you can bring Ibn Arabi or Sirhindi in the same category as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh?"

My question should have not been interpreted as - you know nothing about Ibn Arabi or Sirhindi. I genuinely wanted to know what information Mr. Mughal have which made him put Ibn Arabi or Sirhindi in the same category as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.

Secondly, what I really meant by “RHETORICAL RUPTURE of your EGO” may actually be expressed well by rephrasing it as “RHETORICAL RUPTURE from your EGO”. We must try to see how we may be deceived by our egos.

Witness how Mr. Mughal jumped right into the above terminology to turn it around– a typical theatric of one who tries to avoid the real issue.

The issue Mr. Mughal is that you slyly threw dirt on people of such stature as Ibn Arabi or Sirhindi without offering any facts or evidence and then thinks that this can be justified with semantics. This is an irresponsible scholarship. How can anyone not react to such allegations admitting you did it indirectly or not realizing what you are saying – when the impact is same?

So I repeat my question and ask you to share with us the information you have to prove your allegation.

For me it does not matter if it is an eastern scholar or a western one, I am hurt when someone throws filth on anyone of those giants. Personally, I stand in humility and in awe of all those giants, right from Moses to Marx, and Socrates to Ghazali – Freud to Quratil Ain, Chekhov to Ghalib - I may differ here and there – but I drink from those sources and nourish my soul from all those who with their toiling hearts and bleeding souls nourished and helped evolve the humanity. We owe them a lot but often we do not realize. Let’s not discount all that because the political expediencies or illiteracy diverted the history on other paths- not intended by those giants. Let’s not mix truth with half-truths. This translates into deceiving and manipulating the readers into simple answers just as the pseudo-mystics try to do as you yourself have noted- let us not do that Mr. Mughal.
