PHASES OF TRAINING
Humans are potentially the noblest creatures. Yet, this status is only granted to those who, through their effort, turn this potential into reality.
The condition of humans is exactly the same as that of other things in this world. For example, iron is a metal that is extracted from the earth. In its initial form, it is just raw ore. After extraction, it goes through several additional stages, even being melted in extremely high heat. After this process, it progresses to become what is called steel.
In the same way, a human being is initially like ‘raw ore.’ Within them lies all the potential to become a noble human being. However, an ordinary person only becomes a noble and developed individual when they go through all the stages that are necessary according to the law of nature. The most important thing in these stages is patience and endurance. This means that when a person faces difficulties, instead of running away from them, they should face them courageously. He may encounter bitter experiences from people, but instead of succumbing to anger and hatred, he should endure them with positive feelings. In the journey of life, he may face losses and failures. Despite this, he should not lose heart and should continue his journey with renewed determination each time.
These are the experiences in life that truly make a person human. They bring out the hidden potential within and transform one into a complete individual. The unpleasant experiences of life serve as training stages for a person. Without going through this training course, it is impossible for a person to become a noble human being.
