🌸 Meshkat-e Noor: A Session on the Commentary on al-Ṣaḥīfa al-Sajjādiyya
🌸 Lecture by Master Ali Saei, delivered on 1402/10/21
🌸 Some of the topics discussed in the session:
🌼 Incomplete in creation and in character
🌼 A deficiency in the spirit of faith
🌼 Failing to adorn oneself with noble virtues means falling short in one’s servitude
🌼 The passing of reason means crossing into the realm of animality
🌼 What does our celestial face look like?!
🌼 The celestial echo of our deeds
🌼 My thoughts change my world
🌼 My face will be revealed in the exhibition of God’s celestial realm
🌼 Establishing noble virtues within ourselves
🌼 We must bring the elements of our character to perfection
🌼 The more imperfect our character remains, the more imperfect our greater world will be
🌼 Can plants surpass human beings?!
🌼 How did the diamond become a diamond?!
🌼 Character traits beyond reason
🌼 Celestial leaps
🌼 Are we prisoners of our past moments?!
🌼 Human nature is like a shadow, while human character is like light.
🌼 Whoever becomes self-infatuated turns against their own soul
🌼 One afflicted by conceit first destroys reason, then the spirit of faith
🌼 O God, I entrust my worship to You.
🌼 Conceit leads a person to polytheism
🌼 What happens when conceit is combined with envy?!
🌼 Conceit is like a spreading tumor
🌼 Conceit is like a plant whose seed is disbelief.
🌼 The ground in which conceit grows is hypocrisy.
🌼 The water with which it is irrigated is transgression.
🌼 The branches of conceit are ignorance and folly
🌼 The leaves of the plant of conceit are error and misguidance.
🌼 Conceit reverses the course of servitude
🌼 Turning from a stream of goodness into one of evil
🌼 To flaunt God’s blessings before His servants is compounded ignorance
🌼 How can we become a stream of divine mercy?!
🌼 The highest virtues: are they beyond reason?!
