Chapter 19

Man and Some of Satan's Plots


1. Question: Why does man suffer as a result of abandoning a bad or good habit?

Answer: This issue is essentially clear that whenever the actor is righteous, it is due to the motivation of angelic forces, and whenever he is in unrighteous, then it is due to the encouragement of corrupt satanic forces, that he has become accustomed to that habit. Therefore, it is possible to abandon that habit whatsoever it may be. However, how could the temptations for practicing or the inspirations for adapting a habit be prevented? Hence, abandoning either one becomes the cause of disturbance for the addicted person.

Therefore, there is a proverb, which says: "the abandoning of habit will cause a disease." These good and evil motivations are proof of the existence of the two angelic and satanic forces in man.

2. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the land for the growth of two elements, Soul and Ego; or the battlefield of the two conflicting mechanisms of good (Angelic) and evil (Satanic).

3. Question: What are the invisible, motivating forces in man?

Answer: The force which guides mankind to do good deeds is called Angelic Inspiration, and the force which incites the person to do evil, unlawful and uncivil actions, is called Satanic Temptation. The truth of these facts are proven and enlightened throughout numerous verses of the Holy Quran and Hadith.

4. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man builds gardens, buildings, traffic ways, and streets on the earth for himself. In the same manner, Devils have built traffic ways and streets in the blood vessels and tissues of man's body for themselves.

5. Question: How could a clear sign of Devils' domination be understood?

Answer: Have you ever observed a person overcome by anger and irritation? All his limbs and organs tremble. He does not know what to say, or how violently and brutally to act. If his situation is video-recorded and shown to him later, then he will admit his failure, had he any good spiritual power. This failure is due to the prevalence of Ego and Satan on his Heart, which created that nuisance therein and got him into trouble. Some people mistakenly call this a case of weakness of the nervous system.

6. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is like a released rocket from the Sacred World which is being guided on the earth by the two invisible mechanisms of good and evil.

7. Question: How can the signs of these two forces of good and evil be sensed in man's outer or inner self?

Answer: It is difficult at the beginning to make perceptible these two undeniable, invisible truths and to enlighten them in this summary, but the perception of these two pleasant and unpleasant truths can be sought inwardly by the heart and outwardly by the outer senses.

8. Question: Why does man find himself inwardly and involuntarily busy with other things while engaged in leisure or work?

Answer: The cause for this occupation, especially in our time, is very often from the side of Satan and Ego.

9. Question: Are the hindrances from beneficial deeds carried out only by jinni-Devils, or do human-Devils have a hand in it as well?

Answer: Actually, in some of these good and evil scenarios, sometimes there is human assistance in beneficial ways and, other times, human-satanic cooperators in evil ways collaborate in the executing or not-executing of deeds. This is especially the case in this age, when there are many people outwardly human looking but inwardly cooperating fully, partially, or instantly with the jinni-Devils in causing a sound person to be robbed. Thereby, they force that person towards wickedness, malevolence, and destruction.

10. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being who does not know the value and worth of his life. Hence, he could spend leisure times educating himself or reading literature and teachings which enable him to enlighten his heart, and to acquire faith. He could get access to great people's speeches which he could then use as the theoretical and practical sermons, whereby he himself, could write enlightening literature. However, contrary to these actions and steps indispensable for the improvement of human society, he is committing his leisure time to various corrupt amusements such as gambling, and to the heart and brain destructive songs. If this is not accessible then subconsciously he becomes preoccupied with his own inner quarrels, and he does not know any way to save himself from this perdition.

11. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being who benefits from the land and its products, in order to procure legitimate or illegitimate energy and growth, but he does not know that he himself becomes a land yielding all kinds of life comforts to the jinni and human-Devils, when he practices forbidden acts. As Almighty God says -

"And share (Devils) with them (people) wealth and children" etc. (Quran 17:64)

12. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being who feels happy and calm while doing beneficial action or after he has accomplished it. Unfortunately, however, he does not realize what things are preventing him from doing the same actions in some other occasions, so that he would do something and use some techniques to stop those things, and make himself a permanent doer of good deeds.

13. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is a being who has authority over separating or putting together most domestic and wild animals. His own separation from his beloved ones, however, is often at the hands of jinni- and human-Devils. This applies outwardly, even to his separation from Glorious God.

14. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being whom Satan does not let free for a single moment. Even if he is disengaged, Satan visually makes thoughts that refresh those scenes reappear by the use of magic in order to disturb him. But Satan will thereby force him towards worse actions under the name of revenge, etc., by the use of those temptations.

15. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being who, even though fully physically and mentally involved in his business, still subconsciously possesses inner occupations. Even after he is through with his business, somehow his mind and heart are subconsciously busy examining those occurrences, especially if they concern suffering and worry. He does not know what forces him to be busy examining those tragic occurrences. Truly, these are Satanic Temptations, and that is it.

16. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being who has established communication with remote locations via telegraph, cellular telephone and all that, but he does not put into operation the box communicating with His Holiness Glorious God, which he has in his body called the Heart. Rather, the rust of heedlessness has somewhat consumed this box and, in some other cases, it has become totally stagnated and paralyzed. Satan and Ego have even used it, in various ways, against the insight into Him Almighty.

17. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the one who may classify positive and negative human states during reading these questions and answers. He should try to see how many of them are positive in him and how many are negative. He should then try to fortify the good attributes, and he should even, according to his aspiration, advise others in having these good qualities. He should try to practically stabilize the goodness.

What he has found to be negative attributes, he should arrange them once again in order, and try with dynamically and persistently to eliminate them, so that he may remove from himself those wicked states. Thereby, he clearly finds out that the jinni-Devils inwardly do not let him abandon the bad habits; rather, they try to encourage him to become more addicted to those habits.

These are the examples of Satan's devilishness, and the examples of sound people leaning towards the position of humanity.

18. Question: Could man become a good person by making this much effort?

Answer: Sure! Provided that he comprehends and distinguishes through these questions and answers, all the general good and evil attributes of mankind, and his own shortcomings. Afterwards, he should distance himself from what he thinks are the sources of deficiencies in society and try to eliminate them. He should join with concerned, active, and knowledgeable individuals so together, according to their capability, they could take greater steps towards healing. If he may fail on occasion, to have taken these steps, then he should at least be sorry for not having tried.

Verily, these kinds of people will become examples of perfect and real human qualities, and are the sound members of society. They shall be of great use in the path of Almighty God, and also in the improvement and organization of society.
