AN EVENING WITH ADAM IN PARADISE

One day I received a telephone call from Baba Adam (AS) which came from paradise. He asked me in case I am free that evening then I should visit him to have tea and samosas ( a Pakistani dish) Mother Hava (Eva) had specially prepared them for you because one of our children is visiting us after a very long time,? he told me.
I said,? Baba Ji I was waiting for your call. I shall be there in no time.?
When I entered the tent of Baba Adam , Mother Hava received me with great love, affection and sincerity. I felt the affection and love of a mother. I was entertained with hot cup of tea containing cardamom and samosas and pakoras.
At last coming back to my objective I told Baba Adam (AS), I want to have a private conversation with you in an informal way.
Then Baba Adam offered me to have stroll in the Garden of Eden. I caught his hand and started towards the Garden. While walking I started asking him questions. First question was , How did Almighty God create you? From earth or flesh?
Baba said Leave these things and talk some thing concrete. Whether I was made of dust or flesh it is immaterial because what ever was made was made by God. He made me according to his imagination and I am grateful for it.
I told Baba. ? You are right. Let us forget what ever happened before. There is no fun in knowing these things now. The most important question is as to why Almighty God created you? Why ?
Baba Adam replied, When an artist creates some thing like a painting or a piece of art then he has a motive behind it. When a perfect piece of art comes into being in line with his imagination then the artist feels pleasure in looking at it. I think the motive of our creation was joy. After completing the whole universe when Almighty God created me the last of all then I was feeling that my coming into being in this world was the greatest source of joy for God but looking at my loneliness and solitude God created Hava (Eve)for my happiness.
Now like a child you would ask me whether Hava(Eve) was created from my rib or dust but the fact that how she was produced does not carry any meaning . Yes, the point is why was she created. In other words the reason and objective are of more importance. So why God created me is not known to any one else more than I know. Because when I was alone and isolated I was not happy. God made me his companion to be happy and then in order to make me happy he made a companion for me in the shape of Hava. So what ever relation I had with God was based on love. Then God brought me up with love and deputed a staff of best angels to train me.
I listened to Baba Ji very carefully and then said. Baba Ji! If I want to have a gist of what you have told me then it is that God created you so that you could have a taste of love and then made a companion for you to feel the pleasure . Because with a lone entity you could not experience the joy. In order to feel pleasure you need a companion. So God presented you with a very beautiful partner Hava.?
Baba said, That’s right. The purpose of God in my creation was consummation of love and there are three types of love:
1. Parental love
2. Love between husband and wife
3. Love of children
So when a person fulfils these three types of love then he feels the love of God from very close proximity and all these three types of love can be experienced if you have the human form in the world. Thus to complete these loves God created the human forms of Hava and myself. In spiritual world these three loves can not be experienced because to produce children is only possible in this material world and to have affectionate relationship with children and wife is only possible on this earthly world. The happiness emanates from family and house, from children, from parents, from sisters and brothers, from friends and compatriots. One feels it through loving some one. When some parents love their child he appears most loveable and handsome to them. In other words the sense of beauty is conveyed to the parents through their love. In the same way of the human beings start loving God then all of them can become very beautiful and handsome. Just as the parents give toys of different colours and types to their children as a manifestation of their love in the same way God has enriched the world with different types of colourful resources. All these toys are his masterpieces which he has created to please the human being. Now if the human beings do not understand and feel these blessings of God then it is their fault.

By developing relationship of love with God man can become handsome and beautiful. In my creation God cared most for my beauty and blessed every other thing on this earth with beauty for giving joy to man. That is why man loves all the blessings of God in the world and he likes this world and falls in love with worldly things. He loves them deeply and these start looking more and more attractive to him day by day and caught in their spell he forgets the love of God. That is why he does not bother about the other world but remains attached to the love of material world and that leads him to his decline.

The real relationship between human being and God is the relationship of love and beauty and if human being expresses his gratefulness to God at all times and appreciates his blessings as a gift from God with love then the God is very happy and bestowed with God?s beauty and attraction he prolongs his life. But looking at the human beings of the present age in which you are passing your life God becomes sad and he feels pity for human beings for their present condition and wonders as to why they are heading towards self destruction.

These assertions of Baba Ji compelled me to ponder over them and at last I questioned him, How were you brought up? Upon this Baba Adam replied, Just as there are three phases of human life that are childhood, youth and old age in a similar way Hava (Eve)and myself were brought up in three phases. If we look at a fruit tree we find that first of all we sow the seed and the next stage is its growth and in the end there is completion and it starts producing fruit. Thus we were also brought in these three phases. The fulfilment of birds , animals and the universe is God?s responsibility. Thus every thing in this universe is running according to a system of nature but man?s completion and fulfilment is hundred percent God’s responsibility rather he shares this responsibility with man.
I asked Bab Adam to explain this to me in easy words. Baba Ji said, If I talk of the responsibility in terms of percentages then it will be easy to understand. Just understand it this way that out of hundred percent God has 95 percent responsibility for the completion (fulfilment) of man and 5 percent rests on man himself. He assumed 95 percent because to produce a man in a perfect state that is producing his vital organs like nose, eyes, ears, heart, kidneys etc. in correct state and keeping him alive is his responsibility because all these things function under a natural system but man?s responsibility of 5 percent is in fact his freedom. The God has set him free after his creation so that he completes himself according to his own discretion, chooses his own path, performs good deeds and he can also attain a long life in his own discretion.

If the Almighty takes away this 5 percent from man then he would be rendered as a ROBOT. He would perform what ever programme would be fed in it. But God has made him superior to all his creations so that he could conquer and harness the world with freedom. Man is free to lead himself to his own rise or fall with his 5 percent discretion. God has no responsibility for it. But the problem is that the man does not fulfil his responsibility and blames God for all this and keeps on complaining. Forgetting his own responsibility and engaging himself in the philosophical problems like whether God exists or not he misleads other human beings as well. Actually God has capability to do every thing but unless the man fulfils his undertaking of five percent God does not help him.

Baba Adam was making me understand these things just as a father counsels his child in loving and affectionate voice. Any way I asked Baba Ji, Why were you given the responsibility for 5 percent .If it were not so you would be still living in paradise and would not undergo this suffering.
Upon this Baba Adam said, When the parents bring up their children and impart them education they have the desire that their children excel them in doing good deeds and bring good name to them. If some one?s son excels his father and becomes more intelligent and a good philosopher then no father becomes unhappy on this count. Therefore it is the desire of all parents that their children follow the path of virtue and make progress but to send them up to the school is 95 percent responsibility of parents and if he studies hard or wastes time in games it is 5 percent responsibility of the child. So the parent?s responsibility and the child?s responsibility together make 100 percent. This is how fulfilment is achieved. Thus with only 95 percent of parents responsibility the child can not attain completion. The God Almighty has based the system of human nature in such a manner that he has taken upon himself 95 percent capability for running the universe. The man is left with 5 percent to run his life. If you inscribe these facts in your mind then these will be very useful for you and those mistakes that have been committed by us will not be repeated.

I told Baba Adam that it will be my endeavour to convey your advice and feelings to your children. The old man said, Tell the man that he should build the house of God in his heart because we have built the house of God out side the hearts into the open and pushed the God into mosques and churches and we go to him only on Fridays and Sundays or when we are in some trouble.? Baba Adam said, When I arrived on the earth then there were no churches, mosques or temples nor there were Bible or Quran or Granth(Sikh Holy Book) or Geeta (The Hindu Holy Book). There was only one order of God that I should not eat this fruit .(Which was part of my 5 per cent responsibility). There was nothing more than that. On hearing this from Baba Adam I recited before him the verse of Bulleh Shah:

Demolish the mosque, demolish the temple, demolish what ever you can
But never demolish the heart of a man because God lives in it.

Applauding this verse Baba Adam said, Just this verse is enough. Conforming to the 5 percent responsibility if you act according to this verse then the God Almighty will be happy and I shall be happy too. So before building the house of God in your heart first throw out the snake from your inside and squeeze out the poison from yourself. Then your fate will change. Change your mind and heart.

The prayer for breaking of love is not blessed
If your heart does not desire that then your utterances are ineffective.

So I want to tell my Pakistani brothers that let us change our hearts and mind for the better.

I am deeply in love you people. That is why I am worried about the future of the nation. I am worried about the new generation which is yet to come. We should ask forgiveness from God for all the mistakes committed by our forefathers. What ever has happened can not be reversed. Today after reading this book if you a have understood a couple of things then act upon them and see how your fate changes. The life spent till now should be considered as a rehearsal—-a rehearsal for how to live your life. But from today onwards you have to enact a real play on the stage of life so that the people give applause on seeing your role and you become an ideal for people. The people should desire to be like you . (Amen)
