Right living in my sense is not only virtuous living. Right living has a still deeper meaning, for what I call a right life is the first step to that which may be called True life. The third step is Truth itself. The mystics say that there are three steps to the goal: right life, True life and Truth. Those who love to live a right life and who try to do it, even if they are not contemplative or meditative or religious people, must certainly arrive at that high stage, at that goal which is the ideal goal. For within humanity there is Truth, and the seeking of humanity is Truth.<\/p>\n

If our family causes us to be so absorbed in our pride and interest in it that nobody else in the world exists for us except our own people, or when we think of our own nation alone — nothing else interests us, others do not exist for us — in this case our family pride or our patriotism become a veil over our eyes, blinding us so as to make us unable to serve either others or ourselves. In selfishness there is an illusion of profit, but in the end the profit attained by selfishness proves to be worthless. Life is the principal thing to consider, and true life is the inner life, the realization of God, the consciousness of one’s spirit. When the human heart becomes conscious of God it turns into the sea and it spreads; it extends the waves of its love to friend and foe. Spreading further and further it attains perfection.<\/p>\n

Trueness comes from the attunement of heart, which is possible when the nufs is quieted. That is to say, when negation is negated, when falsehood is refuted, Truth comes to manifestation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
