TITLE :
Reality of Man
2nd
part
As we said before , man is formed of
soul and body. Soul is self in the other words. Body is all the appearance
and can be researched by science of medicine. This body belongs to the
world of materials ; but , soul of man is important , because it is divine
blow and is of the type of angels. Soul and self have come from Amr world
, having joined the soil body at God's order and are commissioned to
discover the mystery of creation . By death , body is kept at soil and
will join to soil , soul and self go back to the world of light and being
which is the same as world of Amr. Our speech is that in the physical life
, when soul accompanies body in the soil voyage of the world , how should
we live ?
If we presume that body is a city and
soul is the government of that body , we will see that there are many
governors who are inhuman and govern their cities unmercifully and there
are other governors who are just and govern their cities fairly. Soul and
self are governors of city of body. The soil and spiritual life are at the
hand of these two. Body is a means of their government. If the king leads
it towards the path of truth , it will run that way , otherwise , it will
run that way , other wise , it will run towards the void. In this respect
, the important principle is education of the parents. The parents are
instructors of their children and should teach him how to run the means.
Specially , mother has the duty of keeping the children out of any
spiritual and physical pollution since he is born. A child having been
kept away from any pollution , will be gradually innocent. The innocence
we consider is a rank of chastity. If a man is never polluted with errors
and sins and if he recants and is separated from physical and soil worlds
, his interests in the world and his desires , his fury , his conjectures
are cut , and if his wisdom rules on such powers , he will reach the
spirituals rank of chastity , the rank which is attainable for all the
human beings. God looks at us with his graces , his mercy , and will
provide for us conditions , so that whoever wishes will make attempts to
gain it. None of the past sins of the innocent man will remain , letter of
his actions will be destroyed , he will be pure. A man having no sin , is
innocent , is single , has reached the sanctum. The sanctum is the seventh
floor of paradise. The sacred angels , the pure ghosts , reside at this
floor. Man has come from this floor and all should go back to the same
floor.
So ,to reach the high ranks , the first
step is to leave sin. Man holds wit , common sense , will speaking self ,
and recognition, so he shall not invest on his body. The body that leads
us to sin and will be buried under soil at last and won't return to the
sanctum. Body has been created so that ,self is motivated to pollute it
with apparent sins , for instance , God has given to us hand , feet ,
eyes, face , and the other organs. If we consider these parts as means to
commit sins , for instance if we
manicure and make our nails long to polish it , if we use much cosmetics
on our faces , if we show our feet and hands more than what is permitted ,
so that we and the others would enjoy it , if we pollute our tongue
telling lies , if we hear gossips , If we polluted our eyes looking at
namahram,… if we polluted our feet, stepping on path of sin , we have in
fact considered sensual affairs and have been contaminated with apparent
sins. Our all efforts are for health , and strengthening , and elongation
of our body life. The body we are going to leave it soon, why should we
spend so much money on , to lose the sanctum, should be delivered to God
in the same world , while we have not performed anything for its
elevation. Do we know the specifications of our soul ? how can we trim our
soul to be delivered to God ? can it be polluted? Do we know that
decorating our soul with attainment, is the same as proper ethics and
pious characteristics? Do we know that contamination of soul to vulgarity
is the same as the improper devil , mean properties?
We should exit the skin of malign and
search for returning to the world of sanctum, to reach the real life , to
join our soul to the divine . if we live like this , we will be among
those for whom it is time to enjoy eternal life with God.
God prescribes :” don’t think that those
who have been killed in the way of God , are dead, but they are alive and
receive their portions form their portions from their God” .in this verse
, God has prescribed for all the People that they can stay alive and can
receive their portions from God and can reach the real life.
How can we joint the group of those who
receive their portions from God? we make efforts ,so that when our soul is
separated from our body ,we can meet God ,not Satan and hell's porter.
This means: who receive their portions from God ,and our attempt s will
reach that end. In Verse #28 of Sura :Fadjr ,God prescribes: "Go back to
your God ."He calls soul in this way ,not body .Body will turn to soil
.Should the soul come back contaminated? Or we should work on it to find
its real life and then to come back to its God. it has been quoted that
,after Badr war ,prophet was walking among the martyrs .He stated : Oh!
Thou the martyrs of Badr ,Did you find , what your God had promised? A
group of Moslems asked : They are dead .How can you speak with them
,prophet of God ? Prophet answered : "they are more alive and more aware
of you ." By this narration ,it is meant that the martyrs shall be alive
and shall stay with God .this is the same goal we all shall gain. Martyrs
of Badr were at a very high spiritual ranks. To be martyred in the first
war against the enemies ,was great opportunity .If such a thing happens
now, do we ask the same question ,that companion of prophet asked him?
To determine reality of man and secret of
his creation ,please refer to the next parts.
END NOTES:
1.There are different definition for Amr
word. In its most complete definition , Amr word is against word of
creation .Word of creation belongs to materialistic world and Amr world
belongs to metaphysics. The world which is created without any dependence
on soil body ,upon direct order of God.
2.Sura: Al_e Emran 169
3.Tou! Soul ,come back to your God.
