El-ixir of Life (Persian Edition)

Description

Human: this unique creation of God distinct from all other creatures. Allah the Exalted created him and made him His caliph on the earth to serve as the manifestation of His Glorious Supremacy, subjecting all other creations to his service to fulfill whatever deserves his creation. There are many enormous secrets concealed in his creation. Although physically he is weak and feeble to many creatures and, like all others, is perishable and mortal, the reality of his soul and spirit remain eternal. The Human has two deferent dimensions; one is his material feature which is flesh and corporal and the other is his intellectual dimension that is spirit and soul. The physical body is the vessel which carries the personality of the individual in this transient world through the sophisticated and perilous journey of life, while the soul is the essence and fundamental nature of the human being. But as far as a reliable and dependable ship is required to carry a consignment, the physical body is essential to carry the soul and personality of an individual. So, both body and soul are correlative and interdependent of each other. Just as in a vessel all kinds of goods can be carried, from precious valuables to worthless things, the physical body, which is the vessel for personality, will also carry the precious jewels of spirit and soul. Said jewels could have the quality of angels or even higher, or lose control by following the satanic character and devilishness personality, which will change an individual to a very worthless and useless state that will throw him into the lowest of positions, lower than even the rank of Satan and devils. Hence, all infants born into the pure nature and temperament of human, what they will become and what they will do will depend on the environment they grow up in. Later on, when they reach maturity and self-reliance, if they desire to live the sublime and magnificent human life, they will need to purify and cleanse both soul and character. So, how does one purify and clean the spirit and soul? How can that are achieved? And how can one reach the honorable high rank of a human being spiritually? They need to strive and endeavor to have piety, virtue, and abstinence. This book is an attempt to bring forward this subject and its related topics to help the seekers of such knowledge. I hope that its study is desirable for the psyche that seeks pleasure and its advice and counsels valuable and helpful for youth. May it be a magical potion, remedy, and elixir for the human soul and a helping hand for finding the way to the honorable high rank of human being.
