The
universe has been created with two faces. To get from one to another is a
stage, and to get from one stage to another is test. Now imagine a child
sitting in the examination room. When the examination is placed in front of him
he begins to cry; instead of solving problems on the test, he starts to
complain and protest that he is being tested. The development and prosperity of
human beings are not possible with an exquisite process. Gold becomes pure only
after pas through a kiln process. If humankind had not undergone these kilns
people today would be living in caves.

What is the universe? It is a point, and this point is a
divine light, and the divine light is itself a light.
Every point is the imprint of luminescence (Tajalli). When
this imprint transforms itself into the divine light then it becomes Aura
(Jism-e-Misali). The display of the Aura is the physical body.
The physical body is built up as a structure of bones, flesh,
and muscle. The skin is a kind of plaster and color on this building. The life
of the human being who is made up of veins, arteries, nerves, bones, and flesh,
is nothing except senses.
