The
punishment
for not
being
able to
learn is
to be
labelled
as
“ignorant’’
by
the
society.
The
reason
is that
the
knowledge
coming
from the
essence
flows
over
these
people (like
water)
who are
characterized
as “retarded’’.
The
ignorant
people
have no
relation
with
assimilating
the
information
or
evaluating
it. This
is the
result
of an
approach
that can
be
described
as “saying
totally
pointless
words
for the
sake of
having
said
something’’.
A person
who
(always)
says “I
know it”
is also
considered
more or
less to
be in
this
group,
because
satisfying
one’s
ego is
not
welcomed
among
the
people.
Through
the
learning
process,
it is
vital
that
knowledge,
even if
just a
little,
has to
be
applied
to one’s
life,
put into
practice
or else
it won’t
look
natural.
Those
who
exchange
knowledge,
have the
right to
know the
truth.
This
talent
and
capacity
by
utilizing
all of
his
energy
has to
reflect
this to
the
environment
(the
people
around).
A
training/teaching
process
which is
based on
the
conflict
of
interests/
fighting
for
one’s
own
benefit,
is the
fruit
(result)
of a
being, a
self
which
serves
its own
ego.
Such
manners
do not
correspond
to the
requirements
that are
only
valid
for the
human
beings.
However,
while
speaking
about
training/teaching,
we
should
also
emphasize
the
other
factors
which
lack
this
ability.
It is
considerably
important
to know
them to
be able
to grasp
their
meanings
and
characters.
The life
of a
trainee/learner
is full
of
sufferings.
The one
who
wants to
have
some
knowledge
behaves
impatiently.
When he
doesn’t
understand,
he
treats
his
teacher/trainer
as a
target
board.
Knowledge
may
sometimes
bring
snobbish
manners
or an
overload
which
cannot
be
assimilated.
Despite
all the
things
and all
the
positive
approaches,
the
learner
still
blames
the
teacher
for his
inconsistencies
and
becomes
rude.
His
consciousness
is
occupied
with
this
thought.
He does
not have
self
confidence,
therefore
he
cannot
notice
the
hatred
he feels
towards
his
trainer
at the
beginning.
The only
things
that can
nurture
him are
the
proofs
(arguments)
that
will
legitimize
his
purpose.
Thus, he
has
stepped
into a
period
during
which he
will
eventually
loose
his self
esteem.
He never
remembers
these
words of
Hz.
Ali
“I
will be
the
servant
of the
person
who
teaches
me a
word for
forty
years.”
Therefore,
such
people
as they
take
place in
the
dimension
for the
ungrateful
ones
look at
the
subjects
we have
mentioned
above
with a
disdainful
expression
and curl
their
lips
(they
show
displeasure
and look
down on
the
subjects).
The one
who
cannot
assimilate
the
information/the
knowledge
becomes
ugly.
Instead
of
discussing
about a
subject
and
thinking
deeply
over it
he
chooses
to
repeat
the
things
he has
memorized.
Those
who
know-experience
the
non-existence
watch
him with
disapproval
during
the
times he
says “This
is
enough,
I am
also
young!”
or
claims “I
have the
right to
see
daylight
too!
(to
relax
and
have
fun).”
Besides,
the way
to learn
and
become a
human
being
takes
some
time and
it is
necessary
to go
through
certain
filters
(to
become
refined).
Becoming
a
profound
and deep
person
can only
be
possible
like
this.
In the
end, it
is a
virtue
to
notice
and
realize
our
deficiencies
(what
is
lacking
in us)
and our
faults.
If,
the ones
who do
not
learn
certain
types of
behaviour,
manners
and how
to
behave
(during
their
training),
then the
more
they
learn
the more
they get
vulgar
or
impolite,
rude.
They
always
spill
out (the
things
that
are
lacking
can
easily
be seen).
In such
a state
of mind
they
become
scared
of going
through
a
transformation.
The
reason
is that
they are
afraid
to loose
this
artificial
qualification.
If, “they
do want
to
realize
certain
things’’
they
have to
look
around
and
follow
the path
that the
successful
ones
have
chosen.
The
reason
is that
we
cannot
underestimate
having
the
knowledge
for
enlightenment,
producing
knowledge
and
ideas.
However,
the
learning
process
almost
stops
when
there is
no
stability
and when
the
sexual
preferences
are
becoming
functional.
Not
being
able to
comprehend
or grasp
is
closely
related
with
(one’s)
potentially
available
capacity
and
(his)
ability
to use
it
(aptitude
and
talent).
The
salvation
as well
as the
destruction
of all
the
mankind
starts
and ends
with
this.
The
outcome
of the
aptitude
is to
easily
seize
the
purpose
of one’s
existence.
If there
is no
aptitude,
the
talent
is
useless.
A
teacher
has to
have
some
important
attributes;
a great
trainer
becomes
significant
with the
way he
stands,
his tone
of voice
and his
humanistic
approaches.
While he
gives
some
information
he also
reflects
his
virtues.
Moreover,
at the
proper
time and
place he
has to
give
this
knowledge
continuously,
without
getting
tired to
the ones
he is
training
in a
kind
manner.
The
trainer
has to
avoid
giving
short
term
messages,
has to
hide the
ecstasy
of
Wahdat/the
life of
oneness,
and
should
never be
involved
in a
vagabond
life.
The
trainer,
while
deciding
about
the
value
and the
appreciation
that a
human
being
deserves,
has to
take
into
consideration
the
attributes
that are
important
for him
and he
has to
associate
them
with his
student.
The
reason
is that
none of
the
teachers
consider
passing
away
from
this
world
without
leaving
behind
someone
whom he
has
trained.
The
performances
of some
trainers,
teachers
are
satisfactory.
They
choose
the ones
among
the
members
of the
society
who have
a
suitable
formation
for
learning,
for
getting
educated.
They do
this (so
delicately
and
carefully
that)
it seems
as if
they are
using
tweezers
for
picking
them
out.
Nevertheless,
no
matter
how hard
they
try,
they
cannot
manage
to
change
their
fitrat
(the
individual’s
own
programme
of
creation).
This
matter
is
Allah’s
decree.
(This
matter
is
within
Allah’s
judgement).
What
they
have
been
doing is
only to
teach,
transfer
(to
their
students)
the
basic
principles.
It is
certain
that a
person
who has
common
sense,
in
the
first
place
wants to
learn in
order to
maintain
his self
respect
and to
have
self
confidence.
Following
this, he
wants to
teach,
wants to
be
considered
successful,
to be
respected,
to be
listened
to/ to
be
obeyed,
briefly
he wants
to be
valued
and to
become
important
in the
society.
All
these
qualifications
are
specific
for our
time and
for all
times as
well.
They are
also
valid
for
those
who have
completed
their
invisible,
internal
aspect
(batin)
and who
are now
living
the
zaqhir,
the
visible,
external
realm.
The
reason
is, the
invisible,
internal
and the
visible,
external
are
equal (at
the same
level). |
