WISDOM
Are You Prepared to See?
Know Well What Leads You Forward
No being can develop the perception and consciousness of another being. However, there can be a change in perception and consciousness through knowledge and influences, the events revealed, the life lived, and the effort spent.
This change is also dependent on the requirements of the circumstances.
The watermill’s wheel does not turn with poured water.
In the time of the apostles, the number of believers was a mere fraction of the number of non-believers.
This indicates that the development of personal realities requires time and experience. It is still the same today…
That’s why not everyone can digest and apply spiritual truths immediately. It requires development and talent.

Excerpt from the book RUHSALLIK ÜZERİNE DENEMELER/ESSAYS ON SPIRITUALITY
The desert Arabs say,
“We believe.”
Say,
“Ye have no faith; but ye (only) say, ‘We have submitted our wills to Allah’. For not yet has Faith entered your hearts.”
Still there are some who take others as Allah’s equal — they love them as they should love Allah — but the true believers love Allah even more.
O you who believe! Enter into peace wholeheartedly, and do not follow Satan’s footsteps. Surely he is your sworn enemy.
Say,
“It is not in my power to harm or benefit you.”
O ye who believe! Ye have charge of your own souls.
Allah will deliver the righteous to their place of salvation: no evil shall touch them, nor shall they grieve.
Indeed, there have come to you insights from your Lord. So whoever chooses to see, it is for their own good. But whoever chooses to be blind, it is to their own loss.

People only see what they are prepared to see.
