This is your material self. In this self, everyone is more or less the same. The rules that apply here are general rules. You follow what has been given for everyone to follow, and by following you can begin to rise.</p><p>Then there is the other one, hidden behind your appearance. This is your spiritual self — the <em>rūḥ</em>. It is different in every person, because no two souls were sent on exactly the same journey. The rules for this self are not general. They are private, written for you alone.</p><p>The general rules are the rules of <em>sharīʿa</em> — the path given openly. You follow them. You rise from level to level. You reach the edge where the path enters the realm of wisdom.</p><p>It is said:</p><blockquote><p>There is a state in which all and everything is gathered. That state is divine wisdom.</p></blockquote><p>To reach that state, you first have to abandon the false face. The things you do so that others will see you doing them. The things you say so that others will hear you saying them. These have to go — all of <em>riyāʾ</em>, all the showing.</p><p>Then you set for yourself three goals. The three are actually three homes.</p><div><hr></div><div><div><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/mSIjlb22RdQ?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div> <p> <a href="https://spiritualrelief.substack.com/p/sirr-al-asrar-chapter-two-on-the"> Read more </a> </p> <p><a href="https://spiritualrelief.substack.com/p/sirr-al-asrar-chapter-two-on-the" target="_blank">- Enlace a artículo -</a></p> <p>Más info en https://ift.tt/Xg7TUen / Tfno. & WA 607725547 Centro MENADEL (Frasco Martín) Psicología Clínica y Tradicional en Mijas. #Menadel #Psicología #Clínica #Tradicional #MijasPueblo</p> <p>*No suscribimos necesariamente las opiniones o artículos aquí compartidos.
