... Mama, mine ...

So, God claims He loves me seventy times more than Mama.

It’s God’s claim, I wouldn’t dare disagree.
.
.
.

I will only ask a further question:
Does He face the same social amphitheatre that Mama faces for me? The same jingles of approach-avoidance conflicts? The same human rushing and human deflation? Human anger, human revulsion, human worry, human fear… and human love?


Or has He only reserved “love” to feel for me?
Seventy times, or seventy thousand times… pure Love...only?
In the absence of all that is so excruciatingly human?

.

God is God, but Mama has a thorny task.
I don’t remember her making any claims of might, though.

In Arabic, when you say 'seventy', it means 'unlimited'.. like in Urdu, if you would say, "Maine tum se 'so' dafa kaha hai."

And it is not wise to compare God with anything this way. It will only burn you more - this lack of knowledge is something that aggravates us, agreed. But we have to live with it always - until the Day arrives.

Walam ya kun lahu kufu wan ahad.

And there is None comparable to Him.

Bottom line: He loves you. Be happy.

"God cannot be everywhere and therefore He made mothers"

comparison is not the issue i think.. its loving someone this deeply.. oh and if you can be this devoted to your mama imagine how loyal you will be to the Lord.

People of faith have a tendency to miss the point whenever God is wondered about...


I thank God I write for myself (or deceive myself that I do).

"Does He face the same social amphitheatre that Mama faces for me? The same jingles of approach-avoidance conflicts? The same human rushing and human deflation? Human anger, human revulsion, human worry, human fear… and human love?"

Isn't Mom bound to love, for we are 'from' her.. her part.. ?
Doesn't she love as being human herself? Doesn't she like us because she can't hate us?
Doesn't she possess 'feelings' which make her feeble in the case against us?

I couldn't find a reason why Almighty would get compelled to love us..
I suppose the love without a 'reason' may be the best one.. I suppose..

us..that's why He pronounces Himself benighted. He doesn't care if u don't care of Him. He's above all worldly, emotional hastles..& that's certainly we all know..

I suppose the love without a 'reason' may be the best one.. I suppose..

It's amusing to see everyone jumping up and trying to tell me what divine love is all about...




This was for God, exclusively.
Just between Him and I...


Shouldn't have been a blog in the first place...

I myself was never 'as much' emotionally involved in replying, as the web made me appear..

I posted once.. & with my id.. it posted 6 times.. with a mix blend of 'anonymous & I'..

later.. I was deprived of the right to delete the fuss.. unaided me! :(

Clicking for the post 'once' yields it to appear 6 times with a blend of anonymous & I.. talented me!! :p
