Spiritual Being
As for the spiritual perfections they are man's birthright and belong to him alone of all creation. Man is, in reality, a spiritual being, and only when he lives in the spirit is he truly happy. This spiritual longing and perception belongs to all men alike, and it is my firm conviction that the Western people possess great spiritual aspiration.

Quote of the Day
Kamal 4 Ilm 183 B.E.
In the world or kingdom of the minerals certain materials or elemental substances exist. When through the law of creation they enter into composition, a being or organism comes into existence . . . When certain elements are composed, an animal comes into being . . . Again, certain atoms are bound together by chemical affinity; a composition called a flower appears. .
