“There's a little white home that I built for our ownRashid was also hoping to get married soon when he died. Incidentally, the singer Jim Reeves had also died seven years ago in plane crash. He was flying the plane himself.
Where I dreamed we’d be happy, you and I
But I leave it to you for I know you’ll be true
Till we meet at the Golden Gate – goodbye.”

Those of us who have been studying the recurrence of master patterns in the lives of the shapers of destiny... would see that pattern emerging here again... Too much to be coincidences.
ReplyDeleteWould be interesting to know how the number nine figures here?

Great work! applause!
ReplyDeleteAhmad Bhai and InWorld, thanks. I am so happily surprised to see the blog of InWorld (Click on the name in the comment above - recommended). Ahmad Bhai, do you remember that the excerpt from Iqbal which Rashid Minhas noted in his diary fitted so well with his own destiny later? That was also from the NINTH Question in Iqbal's book :).
ReplyDeleteCheck Jim Reeves on Wikipedia and you will see that he was quite a mystic himself - some New Age gurus are celebrating him as a Divine voice.
ReplyDeleteIn the works of the consensus writer from Stage IV of Pakistan, the 9th Stage is the final duel between supporters of good and evil where they both recognize that they must exist together or die together (you know what I am referring to?). In his moment of truth, Rashid was pitted against his own mirror image: a superior from his own unit, son of the same soil, wanting to fight for his ideal just like him, and about to be celebrated with equivalent honor by his own faction. See how the ultimate source of good and evil becomes one? Yet Rashid had to lift this final curtain at the cost of life. That is the answer to Iqbal's NINTH Question, "Who was it that became completely aware of everything in the end?"
ReplyDeletevery strange facts chiller then fiction, Khurran Sahib. Ahmed Safi, any connection with the great Ibn e Safi.
ReplyDelete"And, when you want something , all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."

The poem written by a 15 year old boy, the choice of music. He wanted something... "the universe conspired" in helping him to achieve it.
"Koi Qabil ho tau hum shan-e-kai deytay hain.... Dhoondnay walon ko duniya bhi nayee deytey hein"
It all goes round and round and round ... like the whirling derveshes :)
