The True Human
If Your Eye Is Single, Your Whole Body Will Be Full of Light
If we can direct our potentials towards a single purpose in determining a spiritual ideal, then we can begin to experience Jesus’s statement:
“If your eye is single, your whole body will be full of LIGHT.”
If the eye is single, that is, if we are focused on a single purpose within our inner being, then we can be filled with LIGHT physically, mentally, and spiritually.
The spirit of unity requires the spirit of forgiveness because, without forgiveness, there can be no unity within us or in our relationships with others. The spirit of unity requires the coming together of the forces within us. In this process, our body can be filled with LIGHT and become a LIGHT source for the world.
- Edgar Cayce
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
- Carl Jung
The reward of an evil deed is its equivalent. But whoever pardons and seeks reconciliation, then their reward is with Allah. He certainly does not like the wrongdoers.
There is no blame on those who enforce justice after being wronged.
The blame is only against those who oppress men and wrong-doing and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land, defying right and justice: for such there will be a penalty grievous.
And whoever endures patiently and forgives — surely this is a resolve to aspire to.
On that Day you will see believing men and women with their light shining ahead of them and on their right. They will be told, “Today you have good news of Gardens, under which rivers flow, for you to stay in forever. This is truly the ultimate triumph.”
Those who listen to the Word and follow the best meaning in it are the ones whom Allah/God has guided, and those are the ones endowed with understanding.
- Ash-Shura 40–43, Al-Hadid 12, Az-Zumar 18
Loving people, respecting them, and being able to be beneficial to them as a life principle is such a noble feeling. Sait Faik says,
“Everything starts with loving a person.”
The important thing is to grow and elevate that love to a breadth that encompasses the entire universe.
The true human is the one who can plant the seeds of goodness and beauty in people’s hearts, who can give enlightenment, happiness, pleasure, and beauty to people, and who brings light to people and saves them from darkness.
- Sabri TANDOĞAN
A human being is part of a whole, called by us the “Universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
- Albert Einstein
To free yourselves from this optical delusion, you may find it worth reading the books of Byron Katie.
Who is Byron Katie? Here’s the information.
Seeking knowledge, pursuing knowledge, distributing knowledge, helping spiritual beings in their falls and rises in their relationship with matter, and accumulating and then giving back what is within oneself are high moral values. Their place in our evolution is very significant… Only those who share the knowledge and love they have received with trust and love can evolve. The universe does not like stinginess.
