It includes many eternal duties such as honesty, purity non-violence, self-restraint, etc. which a human being should do to attain fulfillment in life.

Know the difference between Khuda and Allah

Allah is an Arabic word and the meaning of this is “The One God”. Muslims believe in one God and conclude that everything is created by one supreme power. In Islam, Allah word is related to this supreme power. The Khuda is the same thing but is a Persian word and also used for god in the Urdu language . Both words Allah and Khuda have the same meanings but have different origins. People use the “ Khuda ” word in different languages and many South Asian Muslims use this word. As this word is originated in Pre-Islamic so most of the people use only the “Allah” word for God in Islam.

Naad Brahm (The Sound Of Completeness)

Naad Brahm  is a state where you listen to a sound that comes inside of your body. This is a practice that needs proper guidance. This sound is a symbol of absolute, completeness and perfections. Even, in scriptures of Hinduism; music, and sound are integral parts. Spiritual leaders also use “ Mahamantra ” for this sound because of it like a mantra which creates a feeling accomplishment within you. The people who experienced the Naad Brahm shared their feelings and they felt the power of the universe within their body.  It is the main reason that some spiritual masters also use the term “ Sound of the Universe ” for Naad Brahm.

Concept of “Myself within Myself” in Hinduism

“ Myself within myself ” or “Atman” means where a person looks inner-self instead of the outside world for seeking the truth. Yogis adopt this concept and do spiritual practice for knowing the meaning of life. In Hinduism, people find various ways to enlighten themselves. It is like to go beyond time or find eternal energy. Shakta or Shaktism focuses on Shakti or Devi. Here, people believe in the feminine aspect of supreme power. Shaiva   or Shaivism is the oldest Hindu sect and is related to the worship of Lord Shiva. All these sects like Shaivism, Shaktism, and Vaishnavism are different ways of devotions but have the same common reason which is the attainment of God.
