A student who knocks on my box chat with a head full of ideas and questions, always excite me more than anything in the world. Last week this student wrote an article and show me. Interesting article, and I can't stop myself to question what she wrote...
And I believe this dialog is really worth reading, I decided to post this as a blog because some of the parts I wrote, need a #Note2Myself sticky label...
Naf : I'm so truthful and truth can always be seen in my eyes...
Me : I like this statement... but I wonder which truth you're talking about...? Yours or the truth most people agree of...
Naf : HEHEHE im not sure with the 'im so truthful' either but i like the truth. I appreciate truth more than anything else. Ironically, sometimes i myself do have problem with realizing the truth, yes?
Me : Hahaha... Because there's a lot of versions in truth, like it has too many faces... You need the truest truth, real truth the innermost part of you representing...
Naf : So i need to find the truest truth?
Me : Or more over... hear n observe it within you...
Naf : The truth..
Of what? Exactly?
Of what? Exactly?
Me : Of anything... Like the statement... "you need to be true to your heart"...
Naf : Yeaaahh.. True
I want to be better...
I want to be better...
Me : You tend to follow the most acceptable truth to your mind...
Being better is depending on how you see good n bad in life... Which both are illusion. Unless you know your own truth...
Better means closer to your path...
Naf : You tend to follow the most acceptable truth to your mind...
Can you please explain further..?
Me : Finding the truth takes courage to choose, not walking on mainstream journey...
Since truth isn't always what you think is true, truth needs the feeling to feel good about it...
Naf : How can good and bad be illusions?
Me : It's a matter of perspective and perception... Depends on where you're standing...
With your ability to use your brain... you need the ability to learn from all perspectives and perceptions possible without judging if that's good or bad...
Naf : I need practice...
Me : Sometimes we need the ability to walk the road less traveled... Try writing, it is the best practice to see where you stand...
And don't worry of practicing... I've learned to see my truth a lifetime, and I haven't mastered it yet...
Muslim world force us to live in a box, but those with the ability to see beyond the horizon, will never see any box...
Naf : The muslim world.. I would say its the people, the community who force us to live in the box. But those who truly is a muslim should be able to see beyond the horizon.
Because real muslims are made to make the world a better place, right? We have to be able to see beyond the box. The box is just a boundary people make, isnt it?
Me : That's why I say in Muslim world... not as Muslim in particular...
Look at what those who claim to be Good Muslim do to Ahok...
Yes dear... we should not see a box...
The universe is our limits... All the galaxies are expanding...
Even the diameter of Milky way grows from 100k light year to 150k light year...
That's why I taught you to define your truest truth... Never let any box or boundaries define your truth...
Naf : I think it'll take time for me to completely understand this but thanks, mak(:
Me : Hahaha... you need a journey to understand what I wrote...
It's like I'm showing you the road map I traveled... You will never see what it's really like until you travel your own journey... Then you will draw your own road map, which most probably will be different than mine...
Like showing you a place on google map... you won't understand what I'm showing until you go down the place I show you...
Naf : Yeaaah true...
Me : Sometimes thing will turn out wrong before it's heading to the right direction...Fear will never get you anywhere... Since, bravery isn't about the absence of fear, but more about the ability to handle them...
Naf : True true... But i'm not sure what i must do...
Me : Listen to your heart...
Silence your mind...
Silence your mind...
Naf : Its not easy.-. ... Tell me how..? I tend to think things through, Not feel...
Tho ive just learned that feelings, and what the heart says is as important,
Tho ive just learned that feelings, and what the heart says is as important,
silencing the mind have never been easy to do...
Me : Practice... Moreover Be honest and true to your heart...
Good is not always looks right.. But it does feels right...
