had given much importance to applying chemistry to biology. He
and Lavoisier, the
French scientist in chemistry have found out that water was
produced when hydrogen
was burned. Lavoisier
had another very
meaningful theory.
I
think you know that…
‘’A thing
which exists will never get lost and something which is
non-existant is not going to exist.’’
Is it possible that
something which we assume as existant can get lost afterwards?
Is
such a way of thinking realistic?
If something
becomes non-existant does it mean that it has never existed
before?
These questions drive their importance from the existance of
‘’the feelings’’, which shape the human
relations, the interaction between the humans and which are
accepted as ‘’the absolute values’’.
It is observed that the conventional feelings such as being
good, brave, tolerant, generous,
or having enmity intensify or decrease the friendships or
sometimes completely abolish them at certain levels.
The types of behaviour which reflect the love and friendship in
the individual sense would be to give a helping hand to the
person who has been forced to live as a limited composition or
satisfying his need for finding a support.
Naturally, the individual does not have any right other than
feeling himself as secure.
Under these conditions he is going to search for support from
someone else or from the society to lean on, for this purpose he
will be creating the necessary circumstances and will get
attached to
those****
However,
when death comes one perceives that the values of this world
were not valid at all. Therefore at the first stage he lives
this moment dreadfully and becomes shocked.
All those years
that he has lived with his feelings have been lost for nothing
and the life style in his cocoon has made him a robot.
On
the other hand there is an alternative way for becoming closer
to the Absolute Values. To
be able to live the infinite, countless nice things that belong
to Allah in this physical body one has to abandon, has to set
himself free from the conditionings which make up the cocoon. In
addition to these one should also abandon a life style which
depends on the returns
gained from the social life…
When the individual struggles in this world of values that he
has built with his conditionings, value judgements,
comments and genetic heritage; he will have to direct himself
from this emptiness to the Absolute One.
The advantage of the one who is living the love to the fullest
extent is that he notices these assumed values by himself and
chooses to release himself from being addicted to these values.
All
of us keep on living in our coccons, in ‘’our own
universe’’, in a world
away from the real universal understanding until the true
faces of these assumed values show themselves.
Upto a certain time***the conscious**mind tries to get adapted
to a life style directed towards the five senses which actually
is a must in the society. The conscious mind also does not have
the courage to resist the rules and traditions of the society
and sometimes it even does not bother to think about these. Due
to all of these reasons it can be said that the individual
conscious mind is like a prisoner. It can only meet its real
structure, its identity only by climbing the steps with the
understanding of freedom.
On the road to freedom, the fears, sorrows, the pains or
temporary pleasures become invalid and they no longer exist.
As a result all the conventional, individualistic values that we
have got used to disappear. From this point onwards, the
individual has become colourless, he has mixed up with both with
his closest friend and his worst enemy. Now, he is a mirror to
his being.
In
other words,
The
one who looks at the mirror sees himself,
The mirror gets lifted up and what remains is himself.
The science of sufism
describes the individual who could approach this position with
the following lines;
Allah
is a mirror to the man,
Man is a mirror for Allah.
The
individual, who with the life energy that he has on this world
chooses to untie himself from
the conventional values would
be happy
till eternity with the idea ‘’something
which exists will never get lost’’.
Hz.Rasul of Allah
ascribes the following words for the state of lacking all
of these, for this state of
not being tied up and ends the argument
‘’Being
poor is my pride’’.
