Conscious and Unconscious Politics of USA vs Iran conflict

That's a halfhearted way of doing things though. You can't say, God, I surrender myself to you completely, and then go and have all sorts of safety checks in place. It's dishonest and probably not all that useful. What Mohammed said to some simple tribal (probably in witty retort) is unlikely to be applicable to a serious seeker. We can't generalize these stories and expect them to maintain their relative truths for all occasions. Isn't that the reason behind all these contradicting messages from prophets and holy texts? Forgetting context? Besides, the point is to get rid of the illusion of doer-ship. Fear is probably the biggest obstacle. Let go of all fear and its polar opposite, love, will shine through.

I'd say the silence of the Self is the best pole to hang your camel's reigns around. 

 

[Leo Gura]

@FoxFoxFox Don't come a crying when your camel runs away.

The Koran! well, come put me to the test
Lovely old book in hideous error drest
Believe me, I can quote the Koran too,
The unbeliever knows his Koran best.

And do you think that unto such as you,
A maggot-minded, starved, fanatic crew,
God gave the Secret, and denied it me?
Well, well, what matters it! believe that too.

- Omar Khayyam

One day Mohammed saw a Bedouin leaving his camel without tethering it, questioned him as to why he was doing this. The Bedouin replied that he was placing his trust in Allah and had no need to tie the camel. The prophet Mohammed then replied, “Tie your camel and place your trust in Allah.”

So don't forget to tie your fucking camel.

Trust is only applicable when you've done your best. (Following the rules of cause & effects) Then you can trust. 

There are many degrees of trust. It is relative. Depending on your level of trust. 

 

4:32

And in no wise covet those things in which Allah has bestowed His gifts more freely on some of you than on others : to men is alloted what they earn, and to women what they earn : but ask Allah of His bounty. For Allah has full knowledge of all things. 

1. Notice that Allah didn't differentiate between men and women. 
2. Then you can ask for His bounty, because Allah knows everything. Things that is way beyond our limited knowing. 

 

God is Just & Merciful to His Abid
