The Apple of Divine Lights

Chapter Nine

Question: Is the fundamental nature of matter rooted in colored Divine Light? How can one derive nourishment from various colors? Do wheat-colored Divine Lights fulfill nutritional needs? Could you illuminate this subject from a spiritual perspective?

Answer: If one is able to identify and harness the divine light embedded within wheat that sustains hunger, the outcome will be the same. However, the crucial question arises: how can a society entrenched in superstition, devoid of research and intellectual pursuit, uncover such divine lights?

The entirety of the cosmos is grounded in divine light, a truth articulated by Allah, the Almighty, in the Quran, where He declares Himself to be the light of the heavens and the earth. Allah, the Creator of the heavens, the earth, and all that exists within them, has fashioned everything from divine light. Allah, in His essence, is the Divine Light, indicating that the entire cosmic order, as designed by Him, is intrinsically tied to divine light. When Allah desired to manifest His divine plan, He simply said ‘Kun’ (Be), and from that divine light emanated words that are nothing but manifestations of divine light. In the Quran, it is conveyed that the universe itself is constituted of divine light, and this section expounds on the concept. Allah has outlined the complete formulation of divine light: its origin, its nature, the numerous layers of divine light that envelop a person, the interplay of warmth and coolness within it, and the process by which it interacts with human beings.

The Quran, in its most profound form, conveys that the essence of all existence is divine light. It is further revealed that humanity itself is composed of divine light, a concept expressed in spiritual traditions as the "celestial body" or, in scientific terms, the "auric body." Divine light consumes divine light—if an individual consumes half a kilogram of wheat each day, over the span of a month, they would have consumed approximately 15 kilograms. Over a year, this equates to around 180 kilograms. However, the waste generated from this consumption is not proportional, illustrating that the individual is not consuming mere quantity, but rather divine light.

The Quran serves as the ultimate guide for understanding the principles of dominion over the cosmos. It is a tragic reality that many do not turn to the Quran for uncovering these formulas. Presently, the Muslim community is divided into factions—Deobandis, Barelvis, Ahl-i-Hadith, and so on—each sect using the Quran to justify its particular viewpoint. Such sectarianism has led to the loss of the deeper wisdom and esoteric formulas contained in the Quran. Allah commands believers to hold firmly to His rope in unity, and not to create divisions among themselves. Unfortunately, Islam today has become a mere label of sectarianism. Followers of various sects refuse to pray behind one another, each sect claiming to be the sole inheritor of Paradise while condemning others to Hell, despite the fact that none can truly know their fate until the Day of Judgment.

If the Quran is not read with an intention to discover the formulas of cosmic dominion, there is little reason to expect that its divine formulas will be revealed to us. Allah has declared that He has created everything in the universe with fixed quantities. For instance, a homeopathic pill as small as a poppy seed can carry the potency of millions of such seeds. Where does this power come from? If everything exists in matter, how does such a minuscule pill produce such significant effects in the body? This underscores that quantity is not the determining factor. When one consumes wheat, it is not merely the quantity they are ingesting, but rather the specific divine light and energetic qualities embedded in it.

Spiritual guides, when teaching their disciples, emphasize the importance of perceiving and understanding these divine lights. The teacher demonstrates that a grain of wheat, when observed closely, reveals not only its material components—such as sweetness, starch, and texture—but also its capacity to absorb water, withstand heat, and manifest its intrinsic energy. Through careful observation, the disciple learns that the true nature of wheat lies not in its material form, but in the divine light it encompasses. This process of observation also reveals how divine light from the environment—such as the atmospheric gases and light energies—interacts with the wheat, multiplying and enhancing its potential.

Once the wheat is harvested, ground, and processed, the interplay of divine light continues. For example, the grinding process generates heat, which is essential in transforming the wheat into flour. The dough absorbs water, and it is this energetic transformation that enables the preparation of food. From a material perspective, we consume matter, but from a spiritual perspective, we are consuming divine light. Divine light absorbs divine light. This is why there is no significant increase in weight corresponding to the quantity of food we consume.

In the spiritual realm, such as in Paradise, there is no material matter, which is why there is no waste or excretion. All substances in Paradise—milk, fruits, honey, and water—are composed solely of divine light, underscoring the transcendence of material reality.
