The space
inside of an eye magnifies a small thing and projects it to be larger than it is.
Therefore, while the size of the world in this universe is a dot upon a huge dome,
mankind assumes it to be gigantic.
The fish
of a river assumes the river to be their world and remain happy within it, in the
same way, the heart of mankind is entangled in this world. Mankind does not want
to exit this world as they believe there is no other world like this. Worlds more
exquisite than this world exist, wherein the speed of senses is much faster, and
they all lay expectant of the arrival of mankind. The status of mankind is much
higher than what it has reduced itself to. Thought is a creation that leads mankind
to progress and zenith, while 'interference in the thought process' is what regresses
them. What are progression and regression then?
"Seest
thou not how. God coineth a similitude: A goodly saying, as a goodly tree, its root
set firm, its branches reaching into heaven, giving its. fruit at every season by
permission of its Lord? God coineth the similitudes for mankind in. order that they
may reflect. And the similitude of a bad saying is as a bad tree, uprooted from
upon the earth, possessing no stability. ”(Quran, 14:24-26)
Thought is
related to the subconscious world. Mankind remains ignorant of what a thought is
unless and until it expresses itself as an image. They are acquainted with the image
instead of the thought. When the shape and form of the image form on the screen
of one's mind, the individual begins to interfere with it and attempts to colour
it as per their apprehensions, reservations, delusions, and desires. Though it is
complete, the image is not a reflection of the original as it is adulterated with
doubt, and hence we refer to it as 'fiction'.
When there
is adulteration, the creation does not remain pure, that is, it is not in its true
state. The external elements, which in the language of research and quest(science)we
call foreign bodies', have been infused in it. As the external elements are diverse
from the object, they cannot enter it. The true state always remains intact and
it must remain so for continuity in the system, failing which the system will be
in disarray.
Observation:
When we place ice outside a refrigerator, foreign bodies enter it and the ice melts
into a liquid state. It is important to note that the foreign bodies did not enter
the true state of the ice. What we think is ice, is in fact, a cover over the true.
state of the ice. The foreign bodies affect the cover as it is also made out of
foreign bodies. This example holds good for the physical body and all other objects.
If the foreign bodies entered the true state, everything would cease to exist. This
is why God Almighty has created everything in fixed proportions and unique formulae
so that the external elements (foreign bodies) are unable to enter them.
One must
understand that the external elements do not enter the creation, instead, they
accumulate around its outer surface in such a way that they form a cover around
it*. Those whose sight is limited to the surface, observe the cover made of
foreign bodies and think that it is the reality, this is how fiction is birthed
and reality is hidden.
That which
is not-adulterated is pure and is maintained in its true state. Their roots are
firmly planted in the ground, and remain steadfast on the foundation upon which
they are created. They do not accept the influence of external elements and turn
their focus toward a pure entity and sanctified environment for their growth and
development. When their contemplation takes off, it reaches the height of the skies.
In spirituality,
the sky is linked to the subconscious; a creation that cannot be comprehended within
the limits of the consciousness of the earth. Earth is a place where dimensions
are manifested and there are boundaries. everywhere; the mountains have their own
boundaries, the sea remains çontained within its shores, and even dry land has its
boundaries. Every creature is encapsulated in a cover. It is worthy to contemplate
the fact that on earth, our sight stops at every short distance that it covers,
however, this. is not true for the sky. The sky (subconscious) subdues the dimensions
and shows everything as one. The sky takes sight to a speed at which the journey
of various zones is covered all at once.
When the
sky subdues the dimensions and shows every creation on the inside in one colour
an light, then, spatiotemporal distance cease to exist i.e. near does not remain
near and far does not remain far, and the sight sees only One Entity everywhere.
What is this One Entity?
God Almighty
has stated,
"God
is the Light of the heavens and the earth. "(Ouran, 24:35)
Apparently,
heaven and earth are two different stations, however, the Noor (a stage of
Divine Light) in them is one. The sight which does not observe Noor; sees the earth
and sky as two different stations. The stations. are subdued in the sight of those
who are blessed with the insight of Noor and they see the Noor of
God everywhere.
Look up and
observe the sky before you read this article any further. Life exists in the sky;
there are galactic systems such as the moon, sun, and stars. Every star is a world
on its own, and in these worlds, creatures and resources for life exist. The planets
in the sky are visible in such a way that the distinctiveness of the inner and manifested
sides of the sky is maintained, that is, the dimensions are not visible.
The spiritual
senses inform us that sight is a sense; it is independent and takes on the responsibility
of being a carrier. Like all other senses, the sense of sight is on a constant journey.
The reality is that an individual does not see, rather, they follow, the sense of
sight according to the capacity of their consciousness. When one sees a wall, their
sight passes through the wall, however, as their conscious stops at the dust, they
think that. there is a wa1l before them. The sight has passed through the wall-it
is the limited conscious that has lost awareness of its sight. In this same way,
when one looks at the sky, they lose track of their pursuit of sight and do not
know where it went and therefore, consider the memory of the last impression as
the sky.
One's relatio1ship
with purity depends on how aligned they remain to their subconscious, in their conscious
states. As per the ordinance of God Almighty, purity in thought bears fruits in
every moment and in every moment it brings forth. new glories.
“And the
similitude of a bad saying is as a bad tree, uprooted from upon the earth, possessing
no stability. "(Quran, 14:26)
Impurity
is adulterated by doubt and does not remain constant in its true state. Mankind
nourishes it with the water of doubt. Doubt shows a single object as two or more.
As one fails to remain. stable in one state, their roots begin to shake and, in
the end, get uprooted. For growth. flowering. and bearing fruits, it is important
that the roots remain fixed in one place, else, it seems like the plant (individual)
is growing. however, inside the earth, the states of affairs exhibit that the plant
is trembling. And when strong winds blow, the plant is uprooted as it has let go
of its place on earth.
One obeserves
that mankind has left its place on earth too, just like the impure tree, there.
are impure' matters, and impure thinking. Respected readers! What is their place
on earth?
The true
status of mankind. is that of a Khalifa (Deputy). It is stated in the Holy Quran,
"And
when thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am about to place a viceroy in the earth,
they said: Wilt thou place therein one who will do harm therein and will shed blood,
while we, we hymn Thy praise and sanctify Thee? He said: Surely I know that which
ye know not. And He taught Adam all the names. "
(Quran, 2:30-31)
God Almighty
made mankind His deputy on earth. They have been given the ability to bring innovation
to creations, however, due to doubt, mankind has let go of their status and remain
ignorant of their position as deputy. A crystal clear example of this is being ignorant
of the teachings of the Holy Quran. While there is. still doubt or impurity within
the mind of mankind, they will remain unstable. Stability is reserved only for those
who remain aware of their status as appointed deputies on earth.
May God protect
you.
