Exploring the Core Inquiry

  1. Physically, human beings are far less equipped with natural fur, claws, and instincts than most wild animals.
  2. Spiritually and intellectually, our appetites reach beyond food and shelter into infinite truth, permanent beauty, and absolute justice.
  3. This contrast indicates that our physical helplessness is designed to direct our boundless spirit toward reliance on the Infinite Source.

“Belief makes the human being truly human; indeed, it may make the human being a sovereign.” — Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, Risale-i Nur

The Guiding Perspective

Acknowledge one physical limitation you experienced today, beside one deep longing of your mind or heart.
