Chapter 3

The Secret of Union


1. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being who, if he deliberates a little during the process of observing things of this firmament, he will clearly find the Almighty Creator and Artificer. He will discover that indeed, this monotonous and changeless system of billions of years, that possesses all kinds of qualities, cannot be ascribed to anyone else but the Almighty Great and Unique Operator, Who is One and Knowledgeable, Glorified and Exalted be He. Through acknowledgement of this truth, a lot of other secrets will be opened up in the hearts of the noble ones. This fortune becomes a cause of fortification to the battery of faith and will make available the shortest path of communication for the servant to Almighty God.

2. Question: Could man possibly become worth of the preliminary steps of becoming received by His Holiness, the Mighty and Sublime, through the shortest path (shorter even than these)?

Answer: Indeed, after the deniers fully believe, essentially acknowledge, and after the ignorant ones sincerely repent, they will be welcomed to the Fourth Dimension. However, one can acquire the merits of Nearness to the Presence of Him Almighty by increasing the practice and acquisition of refinement and cleansing. Even though some people of good nature have obtained the merits of Nearness as soon as they have received faith or repented -- but this is rare, hence, Almighty God has taken faith and practice as being correlative in 625 verses of the Holy Quran. The best deeds are in one's efforts to spread the monotheism, to acquire Insight into Almighty God, and to serve God's creatures for the purpose of His Happiness.

3. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being who, without the permission of gatekeepers or secretaries or even having received a credible identification card, never assumes the authority and power of approaching contemporary high ranking people, believing it impossible to do so. Surprisingly, without acquiring the acceptable purity and merit to the Presence of His Almighty, he considers himself to be worthy of acceptance to the presence of His Almighty Being by merely claiming to be worthy.

4. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being who, in order to reach worldly and figurative kings and presidents, obliges his own self to study for at least sixteen to twenty years and to serve for more that thirty years passing the stages of qualification. As for achieving the Nearness to Almighty God, however, he thinks he should achieve and unite it in the easiest way, even instantaneously, without qualification or merit.

5. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being who sees the effect of the Exalted and Glorious God's Powerful Hand in the transformation of all things, at all different levels.

For example, he is able to perceive it in inanimate things such as animal wastes (fertilizer) changed into different trees, fruits and crops; in the change from hot to cold; from non-existence to existence, and vice versa, which are all set, are evident. If the servant should request for anything with sincerity and humility, in spite of all the worthlessness of that servant, Almighty God can grant him his request, He accepts the servant's apology and fulfills his needs. Consequently Almighty God will certainly improve the servant's life according to his ambitions, activities and intentions.

    Couplet:

    "Keep ambitions high, in front of God and people
    Your credibility will be in proportion to your ambitions."
