As we
know
there is
a saying
which is
not a
compliment
for
others,
but we
rather
use it
as a
wish for
someone
so that
s/he
would
not face
any
difficult
situations,
obstacles,
but have
nice,
favorable
prospects:-
‘’We say
deep
from the
heart ‘’have
favourable,
positive
days’’.
However,
the
heartfelt
wish
‘’have
fully
aware,
fully
conscious
days’’
is more
extensive
(has
a much
wider
coverage).
Beyond
this
wish,
when we
consider
the
future we
can say
that it
explains
the
essence,
core of
the
existence
in a
much
better
way.
All
right,
then why
does one
remember
to give
such an
explanation
right at
this
moment?
Perhaps,
is it
because
saying
‘’favourable,
positive
days’’ is
not
sufficient?
PErhaps,
it is
thought
that in
spite of
this
wish
things
do not
come out
as
expected.
Whereas,
for the
one who
can be fully
aware
and
conscious
means
to
notice
lots of
things
with
respect
to the
ones who
are not
aware
(who
are
neither
awake,
aware
and
fully
conscious).
In
actual
fact
this is
not a
situation
that we
encounter
much.
For
example,
instead
of
wishing
someone
‘’favourable,
positive
days’’
it may
be
rather
awkward
to say ‘’aware,
fully
conscious
days.’’
However,
there
are more
and more
people
who
prefer
this
principle.
The
reason
is that
there is
a
generalization
in the
word
‘’favourable,
positive’’.
This is
an
external
wish,
it
means
to have
a time without
any
problems
(accidents)
etc, but
much
material
gain.
Whereas
in your
attempts
to be
aware,
to be
fully
conscious
there is
some
internalization
such as
deciding
about
your
direction,
learning
about a
subject,
living
and
experiencing
by the
style
you
become
aware.
Moreover,
such
approaches
reflect
the
essence,
the core
of the
generalization.
Having
become
aware is
a sign
of
having
saved
oneself
from
cliché
meanings,
having
saved
oneself
from
being
individualistic,
and most
important
of all
it is a
sign
of
people
who have
internal
vastness
and
whose
lives
are
turned
towards
the
meaning.
(not
towards
the
material
world).
To tell
the
truth I
do not
have any
difficulty
in using
this
word.
Being
aware is
a
magical
concept
which
reminds
the
individual
what he
should
do and
for
which
purpose
and how
this
process
will
take
place (
how
it would
be
realized).
In the
first
place
those
who say
‘’
favourable,
positive
days’’
do not
know why
they are
saying
this.
This is
‘’the
point’’
which
I cannot
understand
.
No one
says ‘’what
is in
this
wish
for
being
positive
and
favorable?’’
At this
point
the
question
that
comes to
mind is
:-
If, we
cannnot
establish
a strong
relation
with
being
positive
and
favorable
in our
mind,
then
this
approach
remains
only as
a simple
wish,
don’t
you
think so?
If, we
are not
able to
understand
the
whole
of
that
favourable
thing
whenever
it is
said
‘’favorable,
positive
days or
nights’’,
then
wouldn’t
this
word
have a
cliché
meaning?
When the
situation
is so,
then
wouldn’t
there be
disputes
regarding
the
point of
belief
and are
we going
to
refuse
the
principles
that we
have
accepted.
Then,
what is
the use
of
making
such a
wish ?
These
points
are
being
thought
of
course!
However,
the ones
who say
‘’fully
aware
and
conscious
days’’
are
bringing
an
opennes
to the
meaning
more
than the
material
sense
and they
are
warning.
The one
who can
notice
can feel
this.
This is
the
natural
process.
By means
of this
it is
very
easy to
sense
the
presence
of
various
dimensions
in a
sentence,
in a
text or
during a
certain
period
in our
lives
and in a
different
event
that we
have to
face.
I would
like to
refer to
this
point by
giving
mystical
examples.
You can
see how
different
meanings
it has;
You
should
know
that…
‘’Allah
has
created
this
universe,
and
brought
Adam
down
from
Heaven.
Adam was
a saint
before
he came
down
on
earth.
After
he came
down to
earth
Allah
has
given
him
nubuwwah
(prophethood).
Whereas
nubuwwah
is a
proposal.
Even
this
world
contrary
to the
akhirat
is a
place of
proposal(s).
Adam was
a Saint
there,
because
it was a
place
for
miracles
and
observation…
Whereas
this is
a state
of
sainthood.
After
this our
father
Adam has
become a
Saint in
his
essence
until
the time
his
descendants
became
visible…
When
this
took
place,
then he
was sent
as a
Rasul
for them
and
applied
Allah’s
orders.
(Universal
Man Vol
2, Other
religions
and
prayers)
We know
that Hz.Adam
(a.s)
may
peace be
upon him,
has not
been
expelled
from
Heaven.
He was
at the
stage of
the
nafs of
mulhimah
and he
has been
down
graded
to
nafs of
ammarah,
because
he did
not mind
the
warning
that we
know
well.
First of
all let
us make
this
point
clear.
Hz.
ʻAbd
al-Karim
al-Jili
points
out that
Hz. Adam
was a
Saint
during
this
whole
process.
Even if
a Saint
commits
adultery
he
wouldn’t
loose
his
degree,
so in
the
above
mentioned
event it
is
understood
that
Hz.Adam
has
intentionally
came
down to
this
dimension,
and he
has
chosen
this
type of
behaviour
in order
to teach
the
working
rules,
principles
of the
system
to those
who are
dominated
by their
desires
and
wishes
who do
not care,
who are
in
darkness
and
amidst
problems
and who
have
dived
into the
turbulence
of the
world
(worldly
affairs).
It
should
be known
that the
ones who
have the
duty of
risalat
have the
capacity
of
doing
what
they
wish.
In such
a case,
there is
nothing
negative
in what
Hz.Adam
has
made.
The
explanations
made
until
here may
look
somewhat
different
to you,
however
this is
the
truth.
I would
like to
give
another
paradigm.
‘’
The
seven
heavens
and the
earth
and all
that is
therein
praise
Him, and
there is
not a
thing
but
hymneth
His
praise;
but ye
understand
not
their
praise.’’
17/44
Here, it
can be
seen
openly
that the
concept
‘’you
cannot
understand’’
weighs
heavier
(emphasized
much).
Whereas,
this is
an
approach
which is
towards
the
commons.
However,
for the
esteemed
ones who
can
evaluate
their
essence
much
better,
the
meaning
comes
out as ‘’you
can
understand.
So, when
the one
who is
fully
aware,
fully
conscious
becomes
aware of
the
system
and
takes
into
consideration
everything
properly,
can
catch
the fine
points
and in
this
manner
he can
go more
in depth
and
evaluate
the
problem
in a
more
radical
way.
In this
manner
our
system
gets
saved
from the
control
of a
group
that
does
nothing
other
than
wishing
favourable
and
positive
things.
Therefore,
we are
saved
from
being
left out.
Wasting
these
opportunites
unconsciously,
without
knowing
should
not be
something
logical. |
