Question Marks...!


Questions coming out of a mind are like bubbles being produced in a boiling mixture, indicating that some noticeable change is going on inside it. This comparison relates that questions are an integral part in the development of a Human soul, determining the pace and direction of an individual’s viewpoint.

Reason and logic originates from the groundwork of questions. Scientific and Philosophical discoveries form the driving force of any society. Such discoveries are also a product of questioning. So putting Question marks when observing the Nature is the same as friction that helps space crafts and rockets take off for their journey to great heights.

Such is the power of Questions; they take one higher and higher, and around the whole Universe, discovering new avenues for thoughts and ideas. But there is one factor whose absence and existence can totally change the outcomes of this power, and that factor is Faith.

Without Faith Questioning is like weaving nets and getting oneself entangled in them. Doubts and fears may overpower a questioning mind if it fails to recognize its own power of Faith. And this may permanently halt the motion of a Human soul and its flights may come to an end.

If one has absolute Faith that all the questions one has are surely going to get answered, questioning can help one find horizons far and wide. But when doubts and fears enter a questioning mind, the upshot is confusion and bewilderment.

In order to carve a healthy society, we should take our questions out of the box of Doubts and allow them to breathe in the fresh air of Faith.

  2. Namrah, you just correlated the quality of questioning to the power of faith very beautifully.

    The ability to ask questions is half of the knowledge, and having faith is half of the success. When both will be in contact, the result would be amazing.

  4. Wow, what an interesting site & post and similar to the other comments, I love this phrasing and meaning: "Without Faith Questioning is like weaving nets and getting oneself entangled in them...And this may permanently halt the motion of a Human soul and its flights may come to an end."

    And I like: "In order to carve a healthy society, we should take our questions out of the box of Doubts and allow them to breathe in the fresh air of Faith."

    (Not typical in cynical societies & groups & yet so needed...this kind of fresh air.)

    There's just one question about your post on questions & faith here:

    Is this really the goal of our questions? to have "absolute Faith that all the questions one has are surely going to get answered?" or might there be another addition to Faith which may allow many questions to wait for answers and even perhaps be dissolved in the mystery or in peace? I'm suggesting the quality of Love....

  5. I hope you don't mind that I borrowed an earlier piece from your site? I hope it's not out of order or too recent?

  6. Dear Connie
    At times when we reach our goals, they can turn out to be new paths, so I think having Faith on oneself can be one's goal as well as an addition to one's Faith leading one to a new road for a new journey to some new questions that can help one answer the first question and find a world full of answers :)

    Please share what u think of it? :)

  7. Hello Dear Namrah,

    Well actually I thought for a few moments that your site was the same as another since it also had the word Caravan in the site's name.

    Well, I'm so enlightened by this post as well as your comment here...I just love your faith which just shines brilliantly in that phrase: following a new question on a new road: finding new questions to help answer the first and (bring) "a world full of answers:)

    I suppose my slight qualification earlier was only want to raise the suggestion that perhaps some if not many of our questions may sometime be simply transformed rather quickly or forgotten in the Face of Love meaning the ONE? This experience of course can "show up" in any number of ways and is usually not expected yet is KNOWN for what it is...for Who He Is...when it does...

    To see my recent interests, just look for the NON-human rights items and find things on Equanity and one just now posted with heart within flames & poem by Rumi "It's Rigged" and look just for the truth, beauty and joy we share so beautifully here together on RR...(the rest is work I must do as an American, part of my calling yet only a part. :)

  8. Thanks a lot Connie :)
    and the other site u r talking about has no connection with me :)

    Coming to ur question,
    I think that even a simple transformation requires the questions to be a part of ONE WHOLE in the Face of Love because the source of every single question is the Eternal quest of man to know, and all of the questions finally get absorbed in the stream of that Quest.

    I m so excited to know about ur interests and i would like to add that ur comment helped me see the matter through a new and more thought provoking angle. Thanks a lot for contributing :) Please keep coming!

Collapsing Global Political trends - Are we in need of a new political system?

  "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair" Charles Dickens; A Tale of two cities Capitol Hill under siege There is no better description of the current global socio-political scenario than these infamous words of Dickens.  After a year of pandemic and political incapacity to unanimously contain an emergency situation at the global center stage, the world is witnessing a dichotomy that has never been so evident before. In contrast to the Cold War era, when the world was divided into two distinct blocks with individuals from each of the block fighting and dying for their own political ideology, the current division is present deeper within the masses in respective countries. US elections 2020 revealed that this division is rampant with

قبر اور سیاست

سیاست اور قبر کا چولی دامن کا ساتھ ہے۔ کبھی سیاسی مخالفین کو قبر میں اتارا جاتا ہے (معنوی طور پر یا اشاراتی طور پر) تو کبھی نظریات قبر کا رخ اختیار کرتے ہیں۔ اور تو اور اکثر اوبیشتر یہ بھی دیکھنے میں آیا ہے کہ الیکشن مہم کے دوران جنہیں بریانی کی دیگ میں دفن کیا جاتا ہے انہیں وقت گزرنے پر بھوک اور افلاس کی کچی ٹوٹی قبر اپنے آغوش میں لے لیتی ہے۔ سیاست میں ایک اور قبر بھی موجود ہے جسے ضمیر بیچ کر یا مار کر حاصل کیا جاتا ہے۔ یہ قبر خاصی سود مند ثابت ہوتی ہے کیونکہ مثل مشہور ہے کہ سیاست میں جذبات کا عمل دخل نہیں ہوتا۔ اس لیے مردہ دلوں کی اجتماعی قبریں ایسی ہی شاندار ہیں جیسے کہ تاج محل۔ ان سب قبروں میں ایک خاص الخاص قسم اس قبر کی ہے جس میں دادا یا نانا مرحوم (یا شہید) دفن ہوں۔ ایسی قبریں احرامِ مصر کی یاد دلاتی ہیں جن کی ہیبت اور مدفن خزانے صدیوں تک پرذوق افراد کی لیے کشش اور اگلی نسلوں کے لیے باعثِ روزگار ہوتے ہیں۔ ایسے سیاست دان جنہیں یہ قبریں نصیب ہوں وہ اپنے تیر و نشتر سے ملک کے دیگر اداروں، مثلاً قانون، دفاع اور خارجہ محاذ کو چھلنی کر کے رکھ دینے کی صلاحیت رکھتے ہیں۔ اور یہ قبریں ان کی

"I can't breathe"

A giant mural in Washington DC honouring black lives At the dawn of the new millenium, we dreamt of a world with equality and justice as integral parts of its social structure. Twenty years down the lane we are now living in a world full of hatred based on race, religion, caste and creed. The United States of America, which champions itself for its human rights and is seen as the leader of the free world, saw massive, wide scale protests after the killing of George Floyd, an African American man, on 25th May 2020 by a policer officer in Minneapolis state. The police officer, named Derek Chauvin, kept his knee on the neck of a handcuffed, non-violent man for 9 minutes as Mr. Floyd wailed and begged for his life before becoming unconscious. Mr. Chauvin could be seen in a relaxed pose with hands in his pockets, as he ignored the pleas of Mr. Floyd and the bystanders who also recorded the whole incident on video. Fellow police officer Tou Thao was protecting his colleague from the crowd wh
