When we study ourselves, we say that we have a limited and
mortal body, and this is the only identification of our life. This body, which
is visible to us, is made of ingredients that are impurity, stench, fetidness,
and rottenness. The basis of this rottenness arises from the theory that I
believe that I am matter and that I was born of this materialistic world. This
limited vision confined man to a particular place. Every person sees himself in
the knitted network of limitations, which is how the foundation of the theory
of limitation is laid down. When anyone living on earth talks about himself or
herself, he or she says that I am a Muslim, or I am a Hindu, or Persian, or
Christian. But the spirit does not have such names. Light is just light
everywhere, whether it is in Arabia, Persia, Europe, or in any part of Asia.

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.
