THANK YOU GOD FOR ANOTHER DAY

Thank you God for another day!

Thank you O God for taking us along through the tangible company of our mentor philosopher guide who has guided us through difficult times and taught us and developed our understanding of life and religion through normal times. We have understood the true values of life and religion and come to realise that feeding the hungry and helping the poor are better ways of pleasing God than praying and fasting. Compassion kindness and love must reflect in our speech and actions and our life must be devoted to the service of Man animals and birds and trees flowers and fruits. We must be careful while we’re using natural resources like air and water and see to it that balance is maintained in the ecological system. 

For blessing us with these finer sensibilities we thank you O God and we remain ever so grateful to our mentor philosopher guide and O merciful God to you as well.

Thank you God for another day!

Thank you O God for blessing us with the spiritual company and guidance in our life of our mentor philosopher guide. And how well he has shown us small things like using the right foot to enter pious places like a mosque or a Durgah and exit these by left foot and use left foot to enter places like the toilet and exit by the right foot . After a period of good ten years or so, we’ve realised that by practising a small thing like this we were made to do a tremendous exercise in alertness of the mind. Now we know our limbs and mind work together and our actions are monitored by presence of mind. Our sense of gratitude is doubly enhanced and we feel many times humbled . 

We’re thankful to you O God and we’re ever so grateful to our mentor philosopher guide.

Thank you God for another day!

Our mentor philosopher guide - we are ever so grateful to him - has asked us to first make simple acts a part of our life-style and leave bigger complex acts for later times. For example, he asked us to make it a habit to first sit down, calm down and then begin to drink water slowly and finish the glass in three breaths without ever hurrying through it. Later on we came know that this was how our prophet used to drink water. We also came to know the health benefits of this simple but valuable practice. Then he asked us to put some water in the bowl (from which we have taken milk or milk products like ice-cream or any other dessert done in milk), wash the insides of the bowl, drink it and do it three times. This again, we knew later,  was our prophet’s practice. 

This way every time we drank water or milk or eaten ice-cream or kheer, our thoughts automatically went to our prophet and we thanked our mentor philosopher guide, our prophet and of course you O merciful God. 

How cleverly our mentor philosopher guide has transformed the simple acts into subtle but sublime prayers!

We can never ever thank and thank properly our mentor philosopher guide, our most venerable prophet and our kind and merciful God.

Thank you God for another day!

Thank you God for another day!

Grant us O God good health and fitness and a positive state of mind so that we’re able to look for opportunities to serve O God your creation in the form of humanity, animal world and plant life. Give all of us O God the good sense to use Natural resources in a manner that ecological balance is retained. Fill our hearts with compassion kindness gratitude and love and fill our heads with humility. Give us O God the courage to apologise and magnanimity to forgive. Let our actions remind us and other people the exemplary behaviour of our mentor philosopher guide and make us do all we can to please him.

Thank you O God for giving us a heart that has compassion not indifference, kindness not rudeness, love not hatred and benignity not cruelty. But sometimes O God head overtakes the heart and we are indifferent, rude, hateful and cruel. Later on, our mentor philosopher guide quietly makes us realise our going astray and we repent and pray for forgiveness. Protect us O God from such weaker moments and bless us with all time alertness so that we make the right choices like mercy instead of judgment, forgiveness instead of revenge, grace instead of punishment and love instead of hate.

We are grateful to our mentor philosopher guide and most extremely thankful to you O God for taking us along.

Thank you God for another day!

Thank you O God for taking us along day after day. And thank you O God for blessing us with the priceless company of our mentor philosopher guide and we do not know how years after years both difficult and enjoyable have passed and I suddenly find myself in the twilight years of my life. 

Thank you O God for choosing our family to be blessed spiritually by the invaluable guidance of top saints of those times. I feel blessed for I was  only ten years old then. Then in 1972 you O Merciful God sent another unfathomably rich soul in our lives to grace our family and I was most extremely lucky to be asked by no one else but him to be initiated in the spiritual order. I can understand now how different would have been our life without his spiritual company. 

Thank you O God for a life like the one we have. And,

Thank you God for another day!

Thank you O God for blessing us with the invaluable presence of our mentor philosopher guide and thank you for taking us under  his protective wings so that we live safely and securely when people all over the world are living in an atmosphere of fear violence killings and (if that is not enough) natural calamities like floods storms earthquakes tsunami or drought. We pray on behalf of them for forgiveness and breathe gratitude for being so kind to us. Thank you O God for all the good you’ve done to us and pray for mercies blessings and forgiveness for the rest of our life.
