The Wisdom of Ruhnama

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST EXALTED
My Beloved People!
My Dear Nation,

This book, written with the help of inspiration sent to my heart by the God who created
this wonderful universe and who is able to do whatever He wills, is Turkmen Ruhnama.
(Ruhnama, Book I)


Saparmyrat Turkmenbashy the Great (1940-2006)
The late President of Turkmenistan and
Author of Ruhnama

"Ruhnama is a new worldview in the sense that it is a spirit that stimulates nature, society, and
people to work. Without a spirit, it is impossible to speak of life; spirit is the source of life."

Great Turkmenbashy shares a story:

An Atabeg educated the son of a Soltan for 18 years. Upon completion of the education the Atabeg awarded him a certificate showing that he had received proper training. The Soltan's son was raised as a brave man, a perfect horseman, and as sharp as an eagle. He had the mental abilities that would allow him to participate in discussions with scholars. The Atabeg showed the skills he taught the Soltan's son.

The Soltan was pleased and said, "Go swim through the sea, my son Oguz."

The Soltan's son replied, "Master Atabeg did not teach me how to do that."

The Soltan turned to Atabeg and said:

"My son's friends could have taught him what you taught. If he ever needs to swim, neither his friends nor I, nor you, could help."

Great Turkmenbashy writes:

There are certain things in life with respect to which parents, friends, brothers and relatives cannot give any help. Man faces the realities of life many times. At those times, one should be able to overcome difficulties without needing assistance from others. If one cannot do so, then one is not properly and sufficiently raised.

I lived under very difficult conditions. It is a mistake to prevent a child from encountering difficulties. Indeed this is a form of enmity toward one's own son.

The child has to prove to himself certain things by undertaking tasks proper to his age. The efforts spent earlier by the child will yield positive results for him in the future.
