Part of Nature

God and the Hereafter relate apparently to the unseen world. But the truth is that they are an essential part of human life. God and the Hereafter are known truths innate in man.

The truth is that there are two levels of God realization—the rational and the natural. Believing in the existence of God and the Hereafter at a rational level is the only the initial stage of this realization, whereas believing in God and the Hereafter at a natural level is its ultimate stage. The purpose of using rational arguments on the subject of God and the Hereafter is only to remove the veil of doubt from man, who needs to be brought to the point where he accepts the reality of God and the Hereafter at least as a probable truth.

The use of argument and logic on the question of God and the Hereafter is meant to assist man to reach the intellectual level where he is willing to accept the existence of God and the Hereafter as an ideology. When man reaches this state, the door of his nature is opened to such acceptance. He comes to recognize it as natural truth and adopts it.

Every human being has the vision to comprehend God and the Hereafter, but these matters are obscured by conditioning. The task of logical argument is to break down this conditioning, or mental block, and thus remove the artificial screen from the eye of nature. Then nothing can come in the way of “seeing” God and the Hereafter. Now man is fully convinced of the invisible existence of God, just as a child is fully convinced of the existence of his mother, although he has never seen himself being born of his mother.
