Warmth melts, while cold freezes. A drop of ice in a warm place spreads and covers a larger space, whereas a drop of water in a cold place freezes and becomes limited. Repentance has the effect of spreading a drop in a warm sphere, causing the heart to expand and become Universal, while the hardening of the heart brings limitation.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking from a metaphysical point of view, the realm of Heaven may be attained by the way of repentance. If we have offended a friend, and they turn away from us, and we in fullness of heart ask for forgiveness, their heart will melt towards us. If, on the other hand, we close our heart, it becomes frozen. Repenting and asking for pardon not only melts the hearts of those we have offended, but also of those in the world unseen. These words can also be explained scientifically. Warmth melts, while cold freezes. Drops of water falling on a warm place and on a cold place are affected differently. The drop in the warm place spreads and becomes larger, covers a larger space, whereas a drop in the cold place freezes and becomes limited. Repentance has the effect of a drop spread in the warm sphere: it causes the heart to expand and become universal, while the hardening of the heart brings limitation<\/u><\/i>.<\/p>\n

The bubble does not last long; it soon breaks, but with its break it joins a mighty ocean. So with us. When by warmth of heart we can break our limited self, we merge in the One, the Unlimited. When our limited realm is lost from our sight, we inherit the Realm of God.<\/p>\n

This shows the operation of Ishk<\/i>. The expansive effect of Ishk<\/i>, altering coarser vibrations into finer ones, creates what is called spirit. Spirit and matter are one, but the force of Ishk<\/i> is lessened as it is removed from its source, which is the Throne or Heart of God (Arsh<\/i>). Through Ishk<\/i> ice melts, flowers grow, animals gain strength, and all human power comes. So to conceive that \u201cAllaho Akbar\u201d has one effect and \u201cIshk Allah\u201d has another is blindness, except that \u201cAllaho Akbar\u201d seems to touch the physical body more quickly and the heart more slowly while \u201cIshk Allah\u201d touches the heart more quickly and the physical body more slowly. But in the end they meet, the purpose is the same — the spiritualization of the field of endeavor. When the Divine Breath and Divine Efflux touch a sphere, they bring life, love, power, and inspiration, breaking all hardness of heart, mind, or body<\/u><\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
