Question:
The most enchanting and sublime entity within this
universe is woman. Nature has endowed her with such an irresistible magnetism
that man is involuntarily drawn toward her, whereas the converse does not seem
to hold. Woman is like an exquisite musical instrument: unless its chords are
strummed, melody does not burst forth. What is the fundamental reality of
sexual magnetism, and why does beholding a woman induce such an emotional
agitation within a man?
Answer:
Your assertion that only man is cast into emotional
turmoil upon seeing a woman is inaccurate; even if considered momentarily
valid, the reality remains that an identical agitation stirs within the female
nature as well. The foundational premise of sexual attraction is rooted in the
preservation and perpetuation of the species.
Magnetism between male and female—whether
manifesting in animal life, inanimate matter, or the plant kingdom—exists
precisely so that reproduction may flourish and civilizations continue to
populate the earth of Allah. From the mystical and esoteric perspective, both
masculine and feminine polarities possess two distinct aspects within
themselves: one remains dominant, while the other remains recessive. Within the
male, the feminine archetype resides latent and veiled; this subordinate
polarity continually yearns to coalesce with its external counterpart to
rectify its inner deficiency. This constitutes the essence of sexual
attraction. When both complementary poles converge and assimilate into one
another, an entirely new creation is brought forth as a consequence.
