Purity

Hello Everyone!

The concept of purity has always been important to every religion. The cloth over Kaaba (Muslims' most holy site) is pure black. The Pope (head of the Roman Catholic Church) puts on pure white clothes. We drink pure water. We prefer pure gold and purity anywhere attracts us. So, what is so special about purity? Every religion has given knowledge about it to its followers.

Quran says:
     ''In it, there are men who love to observe purity and Allah loves those who maintain purity."

Bible says:
     "To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is        pure."

Coming to today's talking point, the question is, what is so special about two opposite colors: pure black and pure white?

Black: darkest color which completely absorbs light, which means pure black embraces each color. Here, each color represents the characteristics of life while black symbolizes God who takes in or contains everything around.

White: a color that reflects all visible rays of light, this shows that pure white gives out or bounces back all the colors. Colors, as told before, symbolize aspects of life but here, white represents God who throws out His colors/characteristics to the world and makes it an essence of His own.

If seen with the apparent eye, these two colors are opposite to one another. One absorbs while the other reflects. But, if seen with the hidden eye, both are the very same. One absorbs its colors while the other reflects them to the world. And here, we understand life, death, science, and God.

The concept is the same as that of the black hole. It gulps or takes in anything that enters it and nothing can escape it. A theory states that a black hole connects this universe to another one. Black and white colors are the same, they connect us with realism, with ourselves hence, making us nothing but pieces of the Almighty.

With pain, relief is bound to come.
With day, the night will surely prevail.
With the end, something new begins.
With death, someone is born.
With madness comes sanity.
And while your God is you (your absorption), you are God (His reflection).

God of ecstasy

Greek mythology and its gods have always fascinated me. Many of my previous posts are, in actuality, derived from my conclusions of mythical Greek pieces- which I refer to as the seeker's well. Greek tragedy talks about human beings today. It is as relevant as it ever was. There's a lot to discuss when it comes to this literature, but today's post is dedicated to ecstasy and self-worth, which- by every means- takes us to the humanized notion of euphoria: Dionysus, the god of ecstasy.  Reading Friedrich Nietzsche drove me through many phases of existence, spiritually. People familiar with this name must know the starting of Nietzsche's historical spiritual journey; it was the interest in Greek tragedy- especially the god of ecstasy- that took him away from his orthodox Christian roots and landed him in the seeker's vessel. In his book, Twilight of the idols, Nietzsche wrote: "Herewith I again stand on the  soil out of which my intention,  my ability grows- I, th

Acquire the Mirror

''I'll not put you in the heart, or you'll be wounded. I'll not keep you in the eye, or you'll be lowly. I'll give you a place in the spirit, not the eye or the heart, so you'll be my companion till the last breath.'' How do you see God? Which attribute of His do you most refer to Him with? Is He the 'severe' God, planning punishments and igniting the fire of hell, or is He the 'gentle' One, ready to forgive every mistake of His creation? So what's your answer, severe or gentle? Remember the answer as you'll need it later, after reading today's post. By getting to know a bit of philosophy and religion, I can confidently conclude that the gist of the teachings of every prophet, saint, and a godly person is to 'Acquire a mirror'. But what exactly is this mirror?  Visualize a simple mirror every household has, a mirror that has no inclinations, that shows the same image in front of it, that reflects 'you'.

Are you ready to ask?

When I do not understand something, I question it. For, to gain knowledge about something, one must acknowledge the vagueness that it brings. The void that inhibits your brain when you don't know something. Like an unprepared student staring at the words on an exam that do not make sense to them. Unprepared. That's the keyword here. When I am unprepared, I do not know what's going on. And, other than the hesitation or laziness to know, why else am I unprepared? Because I do not question. Because I do not listen. Because it is, that specific knowledge is the background chaos for me. I do not care therefore, I do not ask. And I show up-- on the day of the exam--unprepared.  Where am I going with this blabbering of questions, unpreparedness, and exams? Life. Love. Spirituality. If you have clicked this post and decided to read it, you are already well aware of the fact that I love discussions. I love talking about things that are 'background chaos.' The topics we consi
