the seed of spirituality
-
peace all,
Have you ever thought that if it feels so amazing to be in harmony with another, imagine how amazing it would feel to be in harmony with many people, in harmony with the whole universe? Imagine!
Ever since I was young, I have always found inner beauty amazing, mesmerising, drawn to it, like it was not a choice but an irresistible magnet for my soul, surrendering in its glow.... and I have often wondered why? What is it about it that moves me in this way? Why does my heart/mind/soul feel so alive when I encounter it? Is it because to truly experience inner beauty, something so pure and selfless, it is like glimpsing the divine? That special part of us where God resides and works through? I believe it is this that our heart/mind/soul resonates to, seeks and longs for, and when we feel connected with this, in harmony with it, in that moment we become something else entirely, not a mere biological body, not a disconnected part of the whole, but we transcend and our true plain of existence is brought forth, as spiritual beings.
Have you ever wondered why the emphasis on peace, forgiveness, justice and good deeds in The Quran? Maybe they hold the key to the divine, not purely because by doing them you are collecting reward points and in the end you will receive your due, but maybe there is a deeper meaning to their emphasis, maybe, just maybe, they let us experience that union/oneness we all long for, they help sow the seed of spirituality within us.
Just a thought.

Peace,
interesting thought.
I do think the goodness has a deeper meaning. We?re told to good and this good doesn?t just benefit ourselves but others also. basically with everything we do it has a cause and effect on others.
If so many people did good it would be a magical union.

I like the Movie called Pay it Forward with Keven Spacy.
It kinds has a Similar Concept.I like the Cancer Metephor.
Basically, The Body, Organs, Muscles, Heart, Blood, Cells, Etc.. all work together as ONE.
All the Cells have ONE thought, ONE purpose, and ONE Objective...To WORK As ONE like a Chain.(united)
But when 1 (not ONE, but 1) Cell decides to Rebel and start his OWN selfish thing to please him, He is known as a Cancer Cell.
and Causes Negativity and death.I think we as humans are just like Large Cells. If we do Righteous and Collectively do Good we all Benefit from it.
But if we indulge in selfish desires and let the EGO take over...we become cancer and not only harm ourselves but others around us.As the Cells us Unite in our body, we as Humans must Unite to work togeather on this Giant Earth (Body) in the Greater Body (universe).
remember, iblis was once like a cell. He was ONE with the Angles in the Heavens. He was really High Ranked...But then He decided to be come cancer...and like Cancer...He calls other Cells to join him in his quest for destruction.
But Cancer is Curable, and So is our Condition. We must Work like cells.
All For ONE and ONE for All.
(Not All for 1)1=I (ego)
ONE= (everything no individual ego self but all humanity and life)ONE is like a Circle wile 1 is like an "I"... get it?
I like the chain metaphor too... A small piece of Chain is Worthless Alone. It does nto serve a purpose, it is alone and one cannot do anything with a worthless piece of Chain...It is only when the chain unites with the other pieces of chain that it becomes a WHOLE chain and can do great things thus serving a Purpose.... A greater purpose. D

Wakas, this is the best I've read from you when it comes to salaat.
