Re: CSR to CSE: A paradigm shift

Harsha S Mukherjee — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 04:48:51 -0000

I would suggest a combination of CSR & CSE rather. CSE misses Human Rights, Philanthropy et al whereas CSR is a complex topic including Social and Sustainability mixture and misses innovation entrepreneurship. Thus we can combine the terms and build something on that platform or include the missing parts of CSE in CSR. CZM just seems like micro-finance though.

I cant imagine, how a law manifest violation of supreme law, works in Bangladesh!! The bar of judicial review is itself a subject of Review. I have strongly support the trial of war criminal, but the trial under inappropriate law may raise question at future. We need to try the criminals under a fair and transparent law. It is for our interest that,criminals should be tried under fair and transparent law, otherwise they might abscond themselves by virtue of this inconsistent law.

Re: The Hurt Locker: The bomb to crush the invader’s mind-shells

Thalente — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 10:30:15 -0000

One all ways tries to justify ones action and in doing so, can never fork out or make sense of the situation. Because we are driven by belief that we don't know that it even exist and by that, it controls our state of mind and emotions that reveal itself in the most abrupt way. But who is to blame for that course of action? We burry all that hurts in our hearts in the name of man- hood as taught by our fore fathers but that leads to hatred for human kind and the love of war and blood. The only weakness to a mans movement to the throne set for him in birth is that what he holds onto, either that from pride, because ones success is in the certainty that what ever may happen he may rely on that he holds dear to his heart, and may it never disappoint him in any way possible, but only if he does have a pure heart with the intentions of living in his fantasy but it’s withhold by the current situation "And here I stand with my stomach that over flows with the riches of the world but yet there is a gap that’s forever stands because I want so much in life with so little to offer and to be offered, therefore, I let my heart weep in guilt for my weakness of putting others before me, for every eye that I turn blind opens at nightmare and no peace is ever found until the next transition of pain, hatred and revenge is all that is ever felt and regret is never an essential part of the life that is forced upon me. But brings one into their knees because of failure for no path is ever laid that way but created by yearns deeply within ones self and the key is never found without desertion( 19-08)"

Ritual and Charisma in
Naqshbandi Sufi Mysticism
by
Ken Lizzio, Ph.D.
Over the past twenty-five years or so, the post-everything (post-modernism, structuralism,
colonialism, positivism), the attempt to portray “how the natives think”
(or thought), or even what they are doing when they do what they do, has come in
for a good deal of moral, political, and philosophical attack. The mere claim “to
know better,” which it would seem any anthropologist would have at least implicitly
to make, seems at least faintly illegitimate. To say something about the forms of
life of Hawaiians (or anybody else) that Hawaiians do not themselves say opens one
to the charge that one is writing out other people’s consciousness for them, scripting
their souls.
-Clifford Geertz
As in all intellectual debates, both sides tend to be correct in what they affirm and
wrong in what they deny.
-John Stuart Mill
Abstract
This article is an ethnographic study of an Islamic mystical (Sufi) order based in the
tribal area of Pakistan. Fieldwork was conducted in 1996-1997 as a participantobserver
of the order and at other sites in and around Pakistan. By using broader
methods and theory more appropriate to the analysis of mysticism, the article aims
to challenge previous ethnographic studies of the Sufi orders that attributed their
existence largely to social, political, and economic factors. By more clearly defining
both the nature of saintly charisma and the mystical ritual process, it argues that
the raison d’être of the orders is the cultivation of deeper states of consciousness. It
concludes by calling for a new theoretical framework, a “transcendental anthropology”
more appropriate to elucidating mystical states and practices.
In the Fall of 1991, while working in Pakistan, I met Pir Saifur Rahman and his disciples at their
hospice in the wooly Khyber Tribal Agency of Pakistan.1 Saifur Rahman is an Islamic mystic of the
Mujaddidi branch of the Naqshbandi order of Sufism. Although I had done academic work on
Sufism, I had never actually met a Sufi or visited a Sufi hospice, but I thought I had a pretty good
idea of what I would find. I was about to see most of my preconceptions dissolve before my eyes.
1 The term pir, which literally means “old man” in Persian, is an honorific given to Sufi masters. Many other
terms are employed to denote spiritual mastery, the most common being shaikh (chief) and murshid (master).

When I arrived that afternoon at the hospice, I was told that the Pir was resting and would not
be out until sunset prayer. In the intervening time, I conversed with several of his disciples under a
verandah used for receiving guests. Among the Pir’s visitors that day were a businessman from
Karachi, two local merchants, two Afghan mujahiddin fighters in the war against the Soviet-backed
government in Kabul, and some college students. In short, my interlocutors were a cross section of
modern Pakistani-Afghan society. In the course of an otherwise intelligent conversation about
Sufism, a few would suddenly ejaculate, “Ya‘llah!” (Oh, God!). Another’s torso would suddenly jerk
and twist as if a shiver had run up his spine. Another peculiar thing I noticed was a pronounced
beating of their hearts beneath their shirts. Their pupils were dilated as if in trance, yet they were
fully alert and articulate. Apart from these strange and bewildering phenomena, my interlocutors
were, as far as I could discern, entirely normal, rational, and sane.
Around five o’clock, the Pir entered the courtyard clad in a shimmering turquoise cloak and an
immaculate white turban. I expected the disciples to gather for prayer quietly and without fanfare,
like monks. Instead, some of the men with whom I had conversed moments before suddenly began
weeping, screaming, and shaking uncontrollably. One disciple shook the Pir’s hand and recoiled
screaming as if he had touched something hot. Another man fell to the ground at the sight of the
shaikh, his body writhing violently in the dust. Unmoved by these histrionics, the Pir strolled
imperiously about the courtyard, greeting everyone, including myself, warmly and with perfect
equanimity.
I was instructed to sit under the verandah until the prayer session ended. When it was
finished, I was taken into the hospice library where I was introduced to another Sufi, Pir Habibur
Rahman. Habib’s sobriquet was pir-i piran, signifying he was a master of other Sufi masters. He had
flashing green eyes and a mischievous smile. I explained to him that I had a Master’s degree in
Sufism, considered myself something of an expert on the subject, and had always wanted to visit a
Sufi hospice. He seemed genuinely impressed by my assertions. We then embarked on wide-ranging
discussion of Sufi literature. At one point, I was quoting a verse from the Turkish mystic poet
Jalaladin Rumi’s (d.1273) Divan-i Shams-i Tabriz when one of the disciples, a university student,
leaned over my shoulder to interject something. Habib looked over my right shoulder at him, and
the young man was cut short in mid-sentence. He began to shake uncontrollably as if he were
having a grand mal seizure. He fell backward on the floor where his paroxysms continued
undiminished. Shocked, I turned around and looked askance at Habib. But his smiling countenance
had turned sour. He scoffed in Persian, “Sufism! What do you know about Sufism?
