Dear All
Recently a former student got in touch with me and to my
surprise she admitted that had been praying for more than 4 years now that I
would ‘see the light’ and come to Jesus Christ...
A close colleague who is a devout Hindu regularly prays
for me and has hinted that I should consider re-converting as my forefathers were
Ksatriyaa / Warrior caste Hindu’s...
I am reminded of the great Ibn Arabi who exquisitely remarks:
"My heart has become a receptacle of
every form;
it is a pasture for gazelles and a convent for Christian monks,
and a temple for idols, and pilgrims' kaba,
and the tablets of the torah, and the book of the Koran.
I follow the religion of love, whichever way its camels take.
For this is my religion and my faith." (translated by A.E. Affifi)
