Episode No. 2

(Scene 1)

When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a hospital, he was looking at the nurse standing nearby with questioning eyes. 
The nurse spoke up before he could speak,
 ' you are slightly hurt, which caused you to faint.' 
 
 He asked from nurse ' What about that explosion and what happened to those passengers? 
 The nurse smiled slightly and spoke 'nothing can hurt you if God wanna keep you save. The sound of the explosion you heard it actually the sound of the wheels of that bus which exploded.
 He asked, 'What about fire which i saw and those passengers who were shouting? 
Nurse : if i were there i would make a video of you after you fainted so that i can answer all your questions but unfortunately i was not there and all passengers are safe with God's help.'
"God" ! When he heard this word, he was shocked again!.
"It means God heard their prayers, it means God exist, Goodness prevailed, Sins were not punished. But how do i prove God?' 
After speaking for a while, he spoke in his heart. If there is a God, then he must have created that intellect to prove his existence.
But where to find that person? Who can answer my questions without cursing me? 
O God! Show me the light, Reluctantlly, he cried out to God.
After being discharged from the hospital, he now set out in search of God. He don't know where to find God. These questions were not new to him. He had asked these questions to the scholars of All religions. But in return he was warned to lose his faith that not to think about such questions. With the help of religion references they tried to provide him satisfaction but his demand was always rational. 
So at last he thought of addressing himself, but what answers will he get from himself? If he has answers to his own questions then why the do the questions arise?
Now he was feeling totally helpless, so with the intentions of killing himself he picked up a knife from the table. 
Suddenly an idea came to his mind and he stopped.
Who made this knife? It did not come into existence without a creator. 
Now he was looking around. He saw the existence of different creators in everything. Some creators were hidden and some were obvious. 
"Wow, God, wow," maybe you knew that man would question about your existence. That's why you gave him the power to create. You kept answers of human's questions inside himself. Yes, You(God) exist, but hidden, you can't be seen just like i can't see the creator of this knife. But that doesn't mean if i can't see the creator , there is no creator of knife. The existence of a knife is testimony to the fact that there is a maker( Creator). 
God! You're reality and i wanted to prove you philosophically , while philosophy is a question, which stands up again with every answer, there is no destination for philosophy, it drives a person crazy. Now, if man wants he can choose the answers that is the reality or choose the questions which is philosophy. The reality does not change, philosophy cannot change reality because questions can be changed, the reason is that there is no distinction between right and wrong in question. But if the answer is correct, it is satisfactory but if it is wrong we can correct it. The correct answer regarding God is that which is not witnessed by human- made thing. Rather it is witnessed by the things which human can't make or create. And they are witnessing that their creator do exist. Reality exists, and GOD is the reality. Just like the existence of a knife's creator is reality.Whether i can see the creator of this knife or not but i can't deny its existence. . Not everything in this world came into being by itself. Not these tall buildings, not this mobile which is in my hand, not this internet signal. Although i can't see these signals. But i acknowledged their reality. God! When i can believe in the existence of unseen signals. So i believe in you too.
But God, who made you? Are you one or more than one? Do you have a son?
(Scene 2)

Dear brother!
He suddenly came out of the valleys of his thoughts and replied, Yes.

What's bothering you that How can i be honest? Or is the difference in my appearance and action bothering you?
He replied, "don't mind but both".
The man with strange appearance smiled slightly amd replied, "Listen young Boy! people measure things or actions by two things, on thier own experiences or on experiences (stories) heard from others. Actually, they are making mistakes because experiences are of the past and action are of the present. As a result the present forcelly has to become same as the past and when the present is based on the experiences of the past, the same state becomes our future. That means, the past not only dominates the present, but it does not allow the future to come into being because past becomes their base. Our present is always bound in the chains of the past, that is why our present never changes and When our present does not change, our future is not created. I'm not saying that experiences are useless. Rather, it is a very useful thing but only when human is Full of knowledge and consciousness. And able to think from every Angle, he should act smartly on the basis of his experiences, but shouldn'take decisions. Rather, decisions must be free from the shackles of the past because every new action is different from the old one.
 It's possible that form of every action maybe the same, but the reason behind their being into existence or the consent behind doing it is different. Everytime the intention is different.The day we start measuring things or actions from right or wrong angles, questions will arise not on personalities but on Actions. It will bring peace and love. But remember, son, the actions which you have more will become your personality and society will decide what is your personality?
Now guess from here you found the actions and signs of beggars and theives in me,that's why you quickly guessed my personality. The experience in your mind forced you to decide this. Now that you have guessed my personality but suddenly i acted against my personality. Because of which your mind raised questions on your experiences. Take a moment to move away from past experiences that are save in your mind or forget the past. Your mind will immediately accept this new experience, that a person who looks like a theif and a begger can also be honest. Do you know why this will happen? Because you defeated the past experiences that ruled in your mind. Two governments do not exist on one land at one time, there is always war which keeps on going continuously, A proper system cannot be built.. If you want to maintain an organized system, so you have to form a single government, past or present. The government of the past is a little riotous. But son, without it you can form the present government, but it will be weak, it will break again and again."
So what should i do sir? You are preventing me from keeping the government of the past and you are also warning me about the present Government. 
Son! "You have to find a middle way, you have to establish the present government over the past government."
So, Sir! won't there be a war because of this?
Son, " you didn't get my point that you have to give limited authority to the government of past and you have to make a law, that the decision will be made by the present government, but it will also take into account the advice of Past Government. It will also save the self respect of the past government and you will be able to keep a balance and the same balance that you will keep in the government of the past and present that you have established on a land which is your mind, this balance will bring progress which will become your future. 
Look son! "The future is like a busines- man, it comes where there is peace.
He thought to himself, he seems to be an intellectual person, he can answer my all questions.
Sir! He addressed the strange looking man. 
Yes son!
Sir! What is your name?

(Scene 3)

When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a rotten room. When he felt a slight tingling sensation of pain, he screamed in pain.

Suddenly a weak but confident female voice echoed.

Son! " Be calm, there is no danger but the wounds are not so strong so carefully move yourself. I stopped bleeding very hardly. I can't stop it if it starts again.

The young man said," who are you and what's your name?

Son, you will find out later who i am but my name is saleema. And what's your name son?

Saleema khatun( respected lady) my name is Ammar. How did i came here saleema khatun? And why do you live here alone in the middle of these mountains?

Saleema: Son! i was grazing goats as usual, i found you, your blood was flowing, i thought of helping you and i brought you here. 

Ammar: But khatun, how how did you bandage my wounds? 

Saleema: Hahahhha my son!, Before becoming anonymous in these anonymous valleys, I was a doctor. The bullets only touched you so i didn't have much trouble treating you.
Ammar: But khatun, how are you here?
Saleema: leave me ammar, how are you here?
Ammar:i went in search of God, someone said that love of creature ( mankind/ human) will take you to the God he didn't not calrify whether the love of a man or the love of a woman will take me to the God.

Saleema: Well then your real search is God. Someone told me the same way, i went that way i fell in love with a man, he took advantage of my love, i could not go home or live in the society, so i decided to continue my journey and came here.

Ammar: So did you find God?

Saleema: Yes! But there is still a long way to go. Now we both are passengers of the same destination, I'll take you towards my position first then we will go for the remaining journey together. 

Ammar: But what about love i had for God's creature? Do i have to give up?
Saleema: You have to be patient and have some courage as well. You will find the answers to your every questions.

(Scene 4)

He returned to his camp after completing his duty, where he had other soldier colleagues, he thought to asking them these questions but as soon he addressed his his colleagues, everyone started congratulating him before he could say anything. He was a little surprised. But his colleagues handed him a letter from high officials ( Military upper command Authority). What is this?, he addressed everyone.
A colleague of him said, " Yasir congrats, i think you have got an honorary rank. Brother, we have not opened it. You open it yourself.
When yasir opened the letter, he found the address of a place and a fixed date. Where he had to reach. 
Colleagues said what is written?
Yasir told everything.
A colleague said you seem to have been transferred, someone said something, then someone said something. 
Suddenly a colleague spoke up, "today i understood why we are only told to obey orders and why is it forbidden to make a big decision on your own (individual). As you can see , not all of us get agree in one place, so we have to follow the thinking of one, so that we can become powerful and we must choose the thinking that has the ideology.
Go! Yasir, be happy wherever you are.
Yasir was persuaded to ask the colleague his questions but his inner fear stopped him. And he pressed these questions to his chest and started his journey.

(Scene 5) 

There are two powers in the world, one is right and other is wrong,. Untilil one of them is established, this world will continue to be a bettle field. If the right power prevails, then this world becomes hell for the wrong power and if the wrong power prevails, then this world becomes hell for the right power. That's why there is no paradise in the world. Because every human being has a different angle of measuring right and wrong. So God has already told us what is right and what is wrong, so that we do not get entongled in this rational game.

He was now in sardar's (hetman) room. Sardar was putting him in to agitation by saying that son revenge is your right, Khalid don't back out. 

After a while, some men enter in room and khalid was ordered to go out. 

After the men left, Sardar called Khalid to his room and said look, khalid, i didn't know when this matter started, these men used to came here even before me and used to take the poeple of our tribe with them , we were told that they were going to avenge your loved ones. I don't know why our loved ones are dying, what is their crime? But every time their dead Bodies came back, my heart burns with revenge because even those dead Bodies went to avenge their loved ones. Tomorrow they will take you too with them , then you too will avenge your loved ones. But khalid,you must have to find the answers that why the state is our enemy? Why do they call the dead bodies of our beloved ones as traitors? Although they are our religion fellows and our religion teaches us to fight for the right. But who is the real theif of our rights? I want you to measure everything on the scale of wisdom.
Khalid: Sure sardar, I'll do it.
