We have stomachs. So there must be things to eat.
We have legs, so there must be somewhere to go.
We have hands, so there must be thing to catchâŠ
Finally we have been thinking of a perfect human [in the history], so there must be You [Imam ZamÄn (mgehr)]
One of the purposes of God by creation, is to observe all his names and perfections through the existence of perfect men âImams (pbuh).â
God (who owns all perfections) is aware of his perfections.
But the greater pleasure, is to watch these perfections mirrored [in perfect men].
Based on their characteristics, every creature manifests and reflects one or more divine names.
When two things are extremely far and different on the rank point of view (such as God who is in the highest position vs. the world which is in a very low rank),
There needs for intermediates, in order for the low rank to contact the high.
Like âsunlightâ, which is an intermediary between the fireball of the sun and the cold globe of the earth.
In other words, there should be affinity and relation between the power and the worthy.
In ancient India, the perfect man had been remarked as “Arhat” which means the worthy or perfect man, and as “Freeman”.
[Also] some Chinese schools such as Taoism and Confucius, mentioned about âTaoâ and âThe free man”.
He is [considered] as a holy pure man who has the highest human status.
Plato believed a “philosopher” has characteristics of the perfect man.
When two things are extremely far and different on the rank point of view (such as God who is in the highest position vs. the world which is in a very low rank),
There needs for intermediates, in order for the low rank to contact the high.
Like âsunlightâ, which is an intermediary between the fireball of the sun and the cold globe of the earth.
[Once I was at Imam al-Askari (pbuh)’s house]. I asked his son; [Imam] Mahdi (mgehr),
âWhy arenât people permitted to choose their Imam by themselves?â
He stated, âWho do you mean? A righteous or a corrupted Imam”?
I said, âI mean the Imam and leader who is righteous.â
He stated, âYou are not aware of other people’s thoughts!â
If there lives a creature in the system of nature and creation, it has been created the more prefect and honorable [form] of it before.
[So] by this means perhaps, the famous question can be answered as,
âChicken or Egg! Which Came First?â
Yes, at first God created the first prefect form (hence the hen).
Obviously if a society is under the supervision of a boss or a manager,
Who prevents them from aggression and selfishness
and invites [them] to justice and fairness,
That society will be righteous and progressed, and it will be far from corruption and degeneration.
[Imagine] A vice city, with the demons of Jinn and human … all put their effort not to let you get to the destination!
Suppose an individual has invited some people to his/her home.
He also provided special reception and excellent food for them.
Although he has given the home address, he knows there are some fraudulences along the way.
There is no doubt, that the process of the creation by the wise God was purposeful.
Also, there had been a purpose in the creation of human that is âTo reach the perfectionâ.
And its achievement is closely related to “Recognition of the way and the guide [Imam]”.
Can one get the perfect recognition only through wisdom?
