74:32 “No, but consider the moon!”
See creation how perfectly it is working. Are you bringing it into existence or is it coming into existence on its own? If none of those, then what is bringing the universe into existence? How can you explain the phases of the moon? Do you see anything in the universe causing the moon to go through phases in a meaningful manner? If nothing in the universe seem to possess qualities for causing creation to come into existence then there must be a Source giving existence to such qualities. This Source is not of the nature of the universe that is why I call it Absolute. So, let us listen to ourselves and use ourselves to conclude the Absolute Source with event that we interact with.
- If you do not contradict your given human nature, then you shall be enjoying that life. On the contrary, if you do go against your human nature (denying how creation comes into existence or being in total ignorance about existence), then you are in denial.
74:33 “Consider the night when it retreats”
Again, how do you explain the night and day coming into existence at every moment? If one does not pay attention to the signs in creation, then one cannot reflect on their existence.
74:34 “And the daybreak when it shines”
Again, reflect on obvious creation around you as it is a sign pointing to an Absolute Source of existence.
Denial has to do with going against one’s nature. Why do we deny the reality?
- Because we are obstinate, thinking that we have found the answer to our human questions without referring to the existence of the Absolute Source.
- Because we are lazy and we do not want to use and develop our human qualities to search and keep finding the Absolute Source.
74:35 “Surely, [hell-fire] is indeed one of the great [forewarnings]
When do you feel hell-fire? When you go against your nature you feel at unease. It is a sign as a part of the order telling you that the One that gives existence created this pain for you, so it may warn you to come back and look into your reality.
- Spirit is being trained here to get to know its Source of existence.
- Who created my spirit (human qualities) or gave existence to it is the real question?
74:36 “A warning to human beings”
We have to read the verses for here and now. Hell-fire is a warning to human beings to recheck what they believe in. That is, pay attention to creation and reflect on its existence to get to know the Source of its existence as elaborated on the above verses.
Hell-fire represents the process of how denial brings pain to human nature and we experience that burning pain here and now. Analogy: when you do not study in a course that you signed up for, you graduate without any skills. Similarly, when I go against my human nature, my human side will be left un-educated. That is, we are bound to realize that we are contradicting the way we are created because we have not learned anything from experiencing the universe.
We are expected to educate ourselves in this universe in order for the spirit to be ready to receive the reality here and now. If we do not educate ourselves, our sprit will be alien to its Source of existence i.e. the reality.
- Hell=lack of reality (lack of acknowledging the Source of your existence).
- Paradise= reality (acknowledging the Source of your existence.)
Consciousness tells a person what s/he is missing. This condition of sprit (hell/paradise) will be transformed into an eternal life. I know what I have not learned. You have to suffer as a result of your own choice even if you ask for help then, it will be too late. Experiencing pain here is a warner telling us that what we are doing has been wrong.
- Signs of hell make us feel the pain because of our consciousness.
- Signs of paradise make us feel the pleasure of gardens because of our consciousness.
Revelation does not bring us something extra but guides us to use our reality in the right way.
- Revelation makes us realize what is within our own life experiences: Pain is not external it is what is within us i.e. a warning letting us know to come back to our senses where we need to train our spirit so it becomes acquainted with its Owner.
74:37 “for any of you who want to go forward or hang back”
- Choice is yours to either take notice of this warning and act on it or not.
74:38 “Every soul is held in pledge of what it earns”
You earn what you give in. The effort you put in to train yourself for the purpose of getting to know your being and the Source of existence of your being has a price value. That is, if you do not learn or connect yourself to the Absolute One, then you deprive yourself of Eternity (or making yourself blind). As a result of one event, you completely lose all opportunities to connect yourself to the Absolute One. Spirit potentially knows who it belongs to and so it needs to be trained to develop into ability. As a result of this training it will be introduced to its Source of existence within the conditions of this world. When the introduction takes place, it turns into a relationship with proper and consistent training. For example, human beings potentially to learn, say, mathematics, only those who study it have the knowledge of it as much as they study. Learning ability is already within us, but if we do not study we deprive ourselves of the knowledge. Hence, Paradise is not what we “earn” (the feeling is within you not to contradict your reality) but hell is exactly what we “earn”, which means that you set yourself up for hell. That is, whatever you earn as a result of your training, it is your own acquisition.
Human being means a person who has consciousness of his own existence and the existence of his human qualities. If I am not, for any reason beyond my choice, aware of my human qualities, then I am not responsible for training them.
74:39 “Except for the people of the right.”
People who are not contradicting their human nature are people who are obeying the order in creation or the way they are made i.e. not contradicting their reality.
- Hell is the result of my own choice but Paradise is not the result of my own choice, it is given.
74:40 “In gardens, they enquire.”
- Garden= when you are pleased in your existence.
Whatever you are given, as long as you do not corrupt that is the perfect enjoyment for you. Your senses, reasoning, choices will be trained according to your perception of your reality.
Listen to yourself. Are you happy if your ear works properly? Yes. If you keep awareness and consciousness of your own existence, your spirit will develop… Don’t you ever wonder: why am I given life? Don’t you think: who made me, what is the purpose in my existence? When you get the right answers, it takes you to the Source of existence of your reality. You are aware that you can think, question and as you question you realize that it is not you who made your thinking. You are just using what is already given to you.
Human nature cannot explain anything that exists by itself. Think deeply about the following questions:
- Can human reasoning explain that things happen by themselves?
- What is the Source of your existence?
74:41 “Concerning of those who were corrupt.”
When you are attributing your senses to the Source of their existence, then you are uncorrupting your nature which by default is uncorrupt. When you realize that you belong to the Absolute Source and your existence depends on It, do you worry about your death? No, I am in garden. My happiness lies in my choice by not corrupting the way I am made.
Corrupt nature usually assigns negative happenings to God. Example: how does God harm people by creating tsunami? Instead first ask yourself: How does God create millions of people?
Who is concerned of those who were corrupt? The uncorrupted individuals such as Prophets type who present the reality to the people so they may heed to it.
74:42 “What has brought you into hell-fire?”
One has this dialogue within himself/herself. Source of denial has no justification.
