Question:
Why do philosophical doctrines divide the soul and the
physical body, treating their imperatives as opposing forces? It is often
asserted that mortifying physical desires elevates the soul, even though the
soul depends upon the physical organism to execute its earthly functions.
Kindly elucidate this division between soul and body.
Answer:
Soul and physical body are fundamentally a singular
reality; the distinction lies solely in the mode of description. When we speak
in the vocabulary of tangible perception, we designate it as the physical body.
In truth, the visible-tangible and the invisible-intangible are identical,
precisely as soul and body are one reality.
When the physical senses operate, the tangible world
becomes our subject of observation; when the transcendent faculty beyond
ordinary senses—termed the Core Essence (Dhāt)—operates, thought,
contemplation, and intuitive perception become active. The operational reality
is that the Soul functions across two distinct dimensions:
1. A
dense, tangible, and perceptible mode.
2. An
immaterial, invisible, and subtle mode.
Consequently, we categorize one as the perceptible
world and the other as the imperceptible world, erroneously assuming the unseen
realm to be illusory or untrustworthy. In reality, both dimensions are equally
valid. When our cognitive faculties function with precision, dormant
neurological cells activate beyond normal baselines, enabling an individual to
perceive vibrational frequencies permeating the atmosphere across past,
present, and future dimensions. Your experiences indicate that your subconscious
is actively stirring; to harmonize and expand this capacity, practice
contemplative meditation (Murāqabah) nightly before sleep.
