Qasim Ali Shah - A reformer

A reformer is someone who tries to change and improve something such as a law or a social system.

“Dark intramural represents a dark exterior” Qasim Ali Shah

If you are filled with true knowledge and wisdom, you will proliferate it to other like a glowing lamp so it is essential to have a firm grip of knowledge, wisdom, and wit if you have self-confidence and wisdom you can change people’s mind, and a trainer is himself a reformer and he touches the emotion part of an individual. A trainer speaks on basis of his experience, knowledge, wisdom, and results

“A reformer gives food of thought to an audience” Qasim Ali Shah

In this era, we look upon a term trainer and mentor. A trainer is a transformer he triggers a change in society, he plays a role like a catalyst hoping for a dramatic change. But for this, it is essential that he has a firm belief of change. If he does not believes that he can positively change people mind and he himself lacks in gaining knowledge he cannot be a reformer.

“The data you absorbs after sometime built in a way like a river and you start producing data” Qasim Ali Shah

A reformer is a person who produces knowledge. He will be not in a condition of producing his knowledge until he absorbs knowledge from people, books and incidents through which he passed throughout his life, once he starts picking up data, with time it finds a way and comes out in a productive way.

“You knowledge defines your age after death” Qasim Ali Shah

Qasim Ali Sah is a reformer as he serves mankind and delivers a knowledge which changes their life and thinking perspective. The knowledge and services he delivered to mankind will be remembered up to a mark even after his death. Qasim Ali Shah uses to say, “If your produced knowledge is of no worth for mankind, it’s useless”. The knowledge must be capable to bring change and modification in others life. The biggest knowledge is of civilization. Qasim Ali Shah worked upon and produced a true knowledge of welfare of mankind and serves to flourish them. Hazard Ali (R.A) says “if there was no prophet (PBUH), we were not even capable to tend and rear sheep”. So it’s obvious there was a constructive aspect in prophet (PBUH) personality. He (PBUH) guided every aspect of living a successful and happy life.

“A good mentor is one who tells his own mistakes to their students to save their time” Hazrat Ali (R.A)

In other words, one who makes his work a brand is a reformer like in Qawali-Nusrat faith Ali Khan, in painting -Leo nard da Vinci, in physics-Einstein and Newton. All of them turned the tables in their era by propping new innovative ideas and ways of performance in their respective fields.

“But all this never happens without the blessings of GOD” Qasim Ali Shah

Now, what are the basic characteristics which must be a part of life to be a reformer? These characteristics play a crucial role in carving a person into a reformer. The first characteristic adapted to be a reformer is an attachment. One must be attached to his audience make them their own and teach them the right path. One who understands the fact that life is finite, he gives himself to others and lives forever in their hearts.

“You cannot teach goats in the tone of the lion” Qasim Ali Shah

Qasim Ali Shah in his own life kept people attached to him, it was deep in his character to keep his students attached with him, this was the reason that when he started his academy students kept attached with him and with the time his past students became a part of his team of the academy. Further on throughout his life, it was the attachment which kept on helping him in making public relation and team building

A reformer gives unconditional and unlimited love, he loves infinitely even to those who are your enemies or back bitters. Don’t be a conditional lover. Being unconditional Lover you will be a magnet for others, people will automatically get attracted towards you. Qasim Ali Shah delivered unconditional love. He delivered his services to everyone with the same standards. He was never conditional in delivering his services. From the start of his academy, he taught a large number of students without any payback with the same love as other and still now he delivers free sessions on different topics in co-operating and educational sectors and counseling to business, career and personal development

“Discover a goal in your life for which you can pay your life” Qasim Ali Shah

The reformer must be one who can sacrifice. If you do more than what you say others to sacrifice you are on the way to be a reformer. As much as a man is great, his sacrifice is great. Qasim Ali Shah gave many sacrifices throughout his life. In his student life he started his own academy and was interested to continue with Central superior services (CSS) but left it as he and his family was not financially stable and his further education was somehow direct or indirect financial disturbance for his family, so he sacrificed his interest, similarly throughout his life he kept on giving sacrifice.

“Challenge gives you the glory” Qasim Ali Shah

A reformer knows how to face challenges and how to use them in a constructive way to build himself strong. Life brings challenges to groom you.it is a fact that one only learns from failures and challenges, we can get this from an example that a zoo lion is a prey of hounds due to the fact that he had never faced challenges like a jungle lion. Today Qasim Ali Shah a fabulous personality is just because of the challenges he faced in his life, he took every downfall in his life as an opportunity to for personal development and improved himself step by step and kept on learning from every challenge. It is obvious that a stage comes in life when you are thankful for that challenge you faced in your past and you will realize that you were not capable of this glory without that challenge.

“Dreams launch revolutions in your life” Qasim Ali Shah

A reformer slogs within the cloud of his vision. One day you have to die so live an honorable life with a vision to do something more. With a vision and marked goals, one is motivated to achieve and fulfill them. Even if one fails to achieve his goal but if the path on which he is working is right he is a conqueror. As I learned about people, I got more knowledge about their perceptions and the challenges that are in front of them. Everyone is willing to bring about change in society but somehow lacks in the way. You can be a changer, a reformer by just appreciating, scarifying, contributing with a vision and on heavier end by understanding the mind of your audience, you have to get down to their level of minds and understand the way they pick up things then you can breach in to positively change them, else your efforts are all in vain.

Your little contribution can make a huge difference

“Life is not accumulation, it is about contribution”. - Stephen Covey

It is used to be thought that the events that changed the world were things like big bombs, maniac politicians, huge earthquakes, or vast population movements, but it has now been realized that the things that really change the world, according to Chaos theory, are the tiny things. A butterfly flaps its wings in the Amazonian jungle, and subsequently a storm ravages half of Europe. Qasim Ali Shah always emphasized the point that small changes bring huge uprisings. A small contribution in a society is much worthy because individually we are drops and together we are an ocean.

“Nobody can predict the future, you just have to give your all to contribution”- Qasim Ali Shah

As I learned about people, I got more interested in the gaps between them as a civilization relative to the challenges that are in front of them. And one of the gaps I have seen is around the simple concept that everyone is connected and playing his own part. We probably heard this many times, in fact, it is an element of every spiritual tradition of humankind. Whenever I hear people mentioning this phrase “we are all connected”, they do so in a way that something they wish that they can believe it’s true. They think it is an abstract or esoteric, a thing that they really wish that universe was like that. Through a story of breath and heart, I am going to describe that everything is connected and your small contribution can cause a dramatic change in society as well as the future, in a very concrete and understandable way.
The deep calm breath we are taking was not possible 3 billion years ago. During that time period we were having the approximately same amount of nitrogen in the atmosphere but no oxygen at all. Instead, we were having huge amounts of carbon dioxide. The only organism that could exist at that time were single cell organisms. Luckily for us, one of the organisms that were alive at that time was cyanobacteria, having a special trick called photosynthesis (taking energy from sun and transforming carbon dioxide to oxygen and water). Over the course of 2.5 billion years little by little these bacteria spread over the planet and converted all the carbon dioxide in to oxygen that we now have. It was a very slow process, first, they have to saturate the seas, the lands with oxygen and just 900 million years ago oxygen stated to build up in the atmosphere.  About 600 million years ago a dramatic change occurs, the ozone layer was formed from the oxygen that was released from cyanobacteria into the atmosphere. We take the ozone layer as a small deal but actually before the formation of ozone earth was not able to sustain complex multicellular organisms like human beings. Nothing we are familiar with today could exist without the contribution of that cyanobacteria. And they actually never left us, this character of cyanobacteria was eventually captured by the plants and are called chloroplast. Tons of chloroplast is trapped in leaves contributing photosynthesis and generating energy for plants continuing to be another half of our lungs on earth. In this way our breath are deeply united, our out-breath is mirrored by their in-breath of plants and our in-breath are mirrored by their out-breath

contribution of cyanobacteria

Imagine for a moment that you are such cyanobacteria 2.5 billion years ago, you might be born, lived a couple of weeks and died. You have gone to feel like nothing really changed, you are having no purpose in this life, the world I came to is exactly the world I left. But the thing you would not understand is that every breath you took contributed to the possibilities of countless lives after you, lives you will never see, lives we are all part of today. It is worth thinking that may be meanings of our lives are not even under the scope of our understandings because it was true for every one of those organisms and it may also be true for us

Now we are moving to the story of heart, at this moment your hearts are beating, and the reason is to move a molecule through blood called hemoglobin. The heart of this complex molecule is a single atom of iron which binds the oxygen and allows it to flow through our circulatory system. One thing you may not know is that the universe started with only helium, hydrogen and no iron at all. But due to the processes of stars exploding and forming, again and again, iron was able to form. But the story does not end here, if we scrutinize way back on the level of hundred thousands of galaxies, the most robust way of star formation is galactic collisions which took half a billion of years. Galaxies smashing into each other under the gravitational influence and interstellar gasses mixing together setting on fire with new star formation across the entire galaxy. This gravitational dance of hundred thousand galaxies squirreling together derived the creation of iron that courses through each and every vein with every heartbeat.

“The compound effect is like the growth of tree”- Qasim Ali Shah

As a tree takes time consistent nourishment to grow, we also need time ad consistent learning to develop our personality. Now, this all leads to the question that in what manner we are going to do that? We are blessed with a very beautiful gift of faith and consciousness which makes us different from all other animals. We can deeply understand the connectivity. It is a truth to be told that every champion, every victorious person, every king and every winner has felt in the urge to quit. However hard it is, it may take you twice as long, you might not move as quickly but don’t you quit, you do make a difference. There is something that you would lose if you were not there, you do make the difference. It does not matter what you have done in one day, what you have done consistently matters. Your faith, values, consistent efforts, decision, and patience will ultimately give you a huge result.

“People find meaning and redemption in the most unusual human connections.”

I think a lot of us understand that we exist in this marvelous universe but we feel our existence as a tiny unimportant thing which is 1 out of the society of 7 billion people in this universe and how can we matter? We just think about this like a container relationship that all goodness comes from outside to the inside and there is nothing special about us. But Qasim Ali Shah elaborates the power of being by saying,” the way we are in our lives, the way we affect our family and friends begins to change the future and universe itself”. I wish us all to realize the truth of compound effect and come together with faith, knowledge and understanding that our tiny efforts are connected to bring out enormous results.
