Page 10 - Knowing The Truth
P. 10
The subject of 'the secret behind matter' that we have treated in detail
in some of our works has attracted the attention of a wide range of readers
and has been the occasion for them to notice an important truth that they
had never considered before in their lives. This is no new philosophy or
ideology; it is a truth that is within every person whether he wills it or not;
a reality that everyone has experienced; it is easy to understand and
various branches of science have proved it many years ago.
It is possible to summarize this truth is this way: Matter that Allah
has created exists outside, yet we only face the version of the matter in our
brain. We never know the original of the matter that is outside.
Everything that constitutes our life is totality of perceptions received by
our soul. The things, people, places and events that make our world and
our lives meaningful are like a dream; we perceive them only in our brain
and we have nothing to do with their truth or reality. If this subject is
explained to a thinking person who will consider it with an open mind
and without prejudice, he will easily and in a short time comprehend this
great reality and adopt it into his own life.
But some people may have probably been influenced by habits of
thought and prejudices arising from what they have been taught to
believe since childhood as well as from negative suggestions gleaned
from the world around them. With this in mind, we have arranged this
book as a kind of conversation with three enquirers who ask various
questions. In this way, those areas that the participants have difficulty in
understanding or accepting have been explained with actual examples
