Essence of the Universe

Essence of the Universe

Everything of the world depends on the law of essence. For instance, the essence of the minerals is the vegetables and that of the vegetables, the animals and that of the animals, the human beings and that of the human beings is the Perfect Man, because it is he who has become the personal world actually and practically and the essence of everything has been contained in him.

Minerals and gems are the essence of the soil and mountains, pearls are the essence of the ocean, flowers and fruits are the essence of the trees, kernel is the essence of the fruit, oil is the essence of the tree, kernel is the essence of the fruit, oil is the essence of the kernel and light is the essence of the oil.

The grass does not turn into milk, except in the workshop of the stomach of a cow; nobody has the capacity of making honey from flowers and fruits except the bee. In short, butter is the essence of milk and honey that of the flowers.

True mu’mins and friends of God make the essence of remembrance, Ibadat, knowledge and good deeds from the lawful edible and drinkable things, which without any doubt, is a light, because the essences which God makes form the perfect ones and mu’mins are far better than the ones which he makes from the minerals, vegetables, animals and ordinary human beings.

Consequently, we can say that when man attains the perfect rank of spirituality and intellectuality, he certainly becomes the essence of the universe. In this case, all things of time and space are centered in him. In this pearl of the universe, there is the unity of innumerable essences, therefore, it has countless names and examples. Try to know and recognize more and more names and examples of the essence of the universe in the Wise Qu’ran, so that our ta’wili wisdom may increase. God willing!
