– Lalon
Fakir.Longevity
approaches
its
grand
end
with
the
passing
of
time.
Lalon
says:
I
am
poor
in
devotion
– know
not
about
my
fate
afterward.
After
careful
observation
of
the
recent
socio-economic
and
political
situation
in
Bangladesh,
my
guru
Aziz
Shah
Fakir
reveals
that
a
major
collapse
of
sustainability
of
the
country
is
only
doors
away.
Continuing
administrative
and
policy
failures
in
the
management
of
the
country
are
partly
responsible
for
several
unsustainable
situations:
prices
are
escalating,
millions
of
people
are
starving
for
the
want
of
food,
water
supply
systems
are
breaking
down,
corruptions
is
being
revitalised,
industries
are
closing,
law
and
order
is
deteriorating,
socio-political
unrest
is
uprising,
fatal
road
accidents
are
soaring,
phenomena
of
‘justice
delayed,
justice
denied’
revealing,
Hasina-Khaleda
issues
are
aggravating.
Amongst
all
that
has
been
mentioned,
the
guru
stresses
that
inviting
unnecessary
discussions
with
well-known
corrupted
political
parties
is
going
to
be
the
greatest
of
all
blunders.
This
will
generate
a
most
unfortunate
outcome
for
the
country.
The
marked
corrupted
leadership
will
return
in
the
forthcoming
elections,
if
the
election
drivers
fail
to
innovate
a
strong
safety
net
in
order
to
prevent
the
entry
of
corrupt
candidates
at
all
levels
of
election.
What
the
guru
understands
is
that
the
top
drivers
in
the
government
are
walking
on
a
conjectural
path
like
blind
people.
The
consequences
are
going
to
echo
as
Lalon
sings:

(I
see
all
these
as
the
market
place
of
blind
people.
All
Scriptures
appear
blind
if
one’s
own
mind
is
blind.
Scholars
are
blind
to
their
pride
Leaders
are
blind
of
being
non-judicious
Government
is
blind
of
ignorance
and
obey
no
laws.
One
blind
person
calls
the
other
blind
saying
"let
us
go
across
the
world".
He
himself
does
not
know
the
path
Yet
calls
others
to
follow
him
time
and
again.
While
the
blinds
debate
amongst
themselves
The
dumb
ones
enjoy
their
food.
Lalon
Fakir
is
such
a
naughty
blind
who
applauses
while
in
sleep).
The
guru
reveals
that
the
drivers
sometimes
appear
to
be
on
the
same
boat
revealing
their
blindness
in
several
crucial
political
and
economic
issues.
They
appear
with
a
deep
lacking
of
reflective
qualities
that
could
convey
clarity
in
people’s
minds
in
order
to
remove
their
doubts
about
the
impending
elections.
The
top
drivers’
deliberate
or
intrinsic
blindness
are
resulting
in
keeping
people
in
the
dark.
The
possession
of
high
educational
certificates
from
home
and
abroad
is
not
helping
them
to
be
wise
enough.
Some
of
the
drivers’
approaches
to
do
things
clearly
reveal
their
high
degree
of
ignorance
about
the
sustainability
friendly
religio-cultural
values
of
Bangladesh
including
patriotism,
being
one
of
the
fundamental
values
that
they
lack.
The
guru
is
also
surprised
to
observe
that
the
entity
of
patriotism
hardly
exists
in
the
elite
communities:
bureaucrats,
technocrats,
lawyers,
doctors,
academia,
NGO
workers
… even
amongst
politicians
who
are
at
the
foundation
of
the
patriotism
pyramid
– a
country
cannot
run
nor
prosper
without
the
patriotism
of
the
politicians.
It
also
appears
to
the
guru
that
most
elites,
including
the
top
drivers,
with
a
rural
background,
appear
to
have
forgotten
their
traditional
rural
values
that
are
crucial
for
the
nurturing
of
rural
resources.
The
others
who
lack
a
rural
background
are
intrinsically
disadvantaged
and
are
more
likely
to
be
ignorant
about
the
nationalistic
interest
in
view
of
sustaining
relationships
with
foreign
countries
in
accordance
with
Bangladesh’s
rural
socio-economic
and
geo-environmental
realities.
The
guru
believes
that
some
who
are
not
from
a
rural
background
may
even
have
believed
in
their
childhood
that
‘fish
come
from
refrigerators’,
for
they
were
not
brought
up
near
any
water.
The
guru
has
also
noticed
that
much
of
their
lifestyle
and
their
approaches
to
develop
Bangladesh
suggest
that
they
know
more
about
the
Western
world
than
their
own.
Consequently,
they
are
found
to
be
fond
of
exoticism
in
their
lifestyle
and
development
plans.
They
believe
in
dependency
theory
of
the
West
led
globalisation
instead
of
a
SELF-RELIANT
sustainable
Bangladesh.
SELF-RELIANCE
has
been
a
characteristic
for
Bangladesh
historically
and
the
country
must
remain
so
in
the
future
for
its
long-term
sustainability.
The
guru
reveals
that
the
West
was
never
self-reliant
in
the
past,
is
not
at
present,
and
is
only
remotely
possible
to
be
so
in
the
future.
That
is
why
the
West
has
always
been
doing
‘lootpat’
from
the
East
throughout
the
history.
Re-achieving
self-reliant
sustainability
and
pursuing
modest
and
sustainable
lifestyle
in
accordance
with
Sufistic
Baul
philosophy
is
the
only
way
forward
for
Bangladesh.
This
is
even
true
for
many
other
nations
on
the
globe.
Thus,
steps
towards
restoration
of
sustainability
by
generating
steps
towards
meeting
the
criteria
of
SELF-RELIANCE
is
a
‘sustainability
emergency’
which
must
be
endorsed
in
accordance
with
the
pathway
that
the
guru
showed
in
“I’M
HARUN
BAUL
SPEAKING
PART
17”,
published
in
NFB
on
September
16,
2006.
My
guru
is
happy
to
learn
that
a
number
of
political
parties
have
demanded
local
government
election
first.
This
is
a
brilliant
idea.
This
will
facilitate
new
political
parties
like
that
of
Baba
Nazibul
Bashar
Maizvandari’s
Tariqat
Federation
to
build
leadership
at
the
grassroots,
win
seats
overwhelmingly
and
create
a
thriving
position
for
the
parliamentary
election.
The
guru
still
holds
the
view
that
the
following
agenda/actions
will
quickly
restore
the
country
with
sustainability.
1.
to
select
proven
honest
and
competent
candidates;
(answering
to
only
10
questions
that
the
guru
has
can
determine
a
person’s
demonstrated
honesty
and
competency)
2.
to
avail
fish
and
fruit
trees
for
everyone;
(everyone
needs
them
and
they
are
the
easiest
to
achieve
in
Bangladesh
provided
the
government
is
willing
and
knows
how).
3.
to
give
full
support
to
the
people
willing
to
work
overseas;
(every
family
wants
to
send
a
member
overseas
and
the
government
can
assist
by
giving
full
logistical
support
to
those
who
are
in
need).
4.
to
facilitate
small-scale
industrial
productivity
in
the
country;
(80%
of
our
families
need
extra
income;
it
will
minimise
imports
and
generate
women
employment
at
home).
5.
To
narrow
the
lifestyle
gaps
between
rich
and
poor;
(a
national
policy
to
promote
brotherhood,
honesty
and
a
modest
lifestyle
would
result
in
narrowing
down
the
distance
between
the
rich
and
poor.
This
is
the
most
easiest
way
of
reducing
poverty
and
crime;
once
explained,
both
rich
and
poor
people
would
appreciate,
accept
and
implement)
6.
Equitable
foreign
policy
(90%
of
people
would
support
this
view)
The
guru
says
that
if
a
party
with
Sufi
philosophy
can
select
4
ward
representatives
including
2
females,
2
union
representatives,
male
and
female),
1
Thana
and
1
constituency
representatives
(male
or
female)
through
a
simple
honesty
and
competency
test,
the
guru
will
organise
training
for
them
immediately.
The
training
will
reveal
how
to
present
the
election
agenda
to
the
people
along
with
simple
and
clear
implementation
procedures.
Once
villagers
are
convinced,
InshAllah,
they
will
come
forward
to
bear
the
essential
election
costs.
Needless
to
say
that
people
will
also
vote
for
the
party
candidates
overwhelmingly.
Finally,
the
guru
appeals
that
if
any
Tariqat
panthi
political
party
fails
to
uptake
this
manifesto,
then
the
Election
Commission
itself
ought
to
promote
the
guru’s
revelations
to
save
the
country
from
the
hands
of
the
dishonest
and
incompetent
polity.
At
the
same
time,
the
guru
warns
the
top
drivers
to
avoid
conjectural
path
revealing
its
drawbacks
as
Lalon
advises:
যেও
না
আন্দাজি

(Do
not
proceed
through
conjectural
path.
It
has
fatal
pitfalls.
Identifying
a
sustainable
path,
proceed
diligently.
Intention
results
in
right
or
wrong.
Sail
on
a
boat
of
commitment,
and
go
ahead
to
overcome
adversities.
Lalon
says,
you
can
then
accomplish
your
goal).
Lets
hope
for
the
best,
Insh-Allah.
