Do we ever think that our body aches but why our soul doesn’t feel the pain? The existing society is ruined due to neglecting the soul. Since the absence of soul causes emotional dissatisfaction and decline of feelings, which instigates tension in the society.
A human being is a composition of soul and body and the body is made from soul, it means that the existence of body is due to soul. But today’s man is just of body and not soul. He has forgotten the sayingthat, “soul is a goal (destination)”. The ultimate reality of human life is to achieve this destination. If the soul is truly envisioned to be the right destination, it will be proved that soul is the end point of all the destinations. The reason for present social lewdness and destruction is that only the physical needs are satisfied and the spiritual desires are not fulfilled. Following is a brief but comprehensive outline of this theory:
Body and soul! It is certainly a known reality that the soul is embedded within the body but soul is the essential factor of human life. The body simply represents the soul while displaying it in a form. That is why the soul comes before the body.
Food for body: It will not be wrong to say that just as the soul is essential to the body likewise the body is essential to the soul. But the problem is that the existing society is of the body but not the soul! And this problem leads to all social evils and ailments. We use so many tonics for our physical health and growth; we beautify each part of our body and adopt unique ways to enhance our beauty. We eat balanced diet to keep our body safe from all diseases and also consult doctors and physicians. We feel grief and pain if any part of our body is hurt or gets injured. Do we ever think that our body aches but why our soul doesn’t feel the pain?
The existing society is ruined due to neglecting the soul. Since the absence of soul causes emotional dissatisfaction and decline of feelings, which instigates tension in the society and this is the root cause of all the evils.
Food for soul: Soul is something very pure and chaste although unlike body it is invisible but it exists. The modern man caters to his physical nutrition but unfortunately his soul is starving. If the soul is deprived how the chaos in the society would be over? Just like body, food is also essential for soul. Faith, feelings, emotions, ethics and ideas are food for the soul while differences, desires and riots are food for the body.
But unfortunately today, the soul is given the wrong food and so is the outcome. Due to this, there is no regard for relations and righteousness. Imaan (faith) is the perfect and balanced diet for soul which lacks today. Faith is the foremost out of the ethics.
Social chaos: Today, human society is the center of all evils. Neither is there humility in worship nor any manners of respect. The parents are unhappy with their children and children are disobedient to parents. There is no sincerity in relationships but just blood thirst and riot! Such evils are prevailing in the society that the attempt to write them trembles the pen and heart seems to stop working. Just think why is this all happening? What are the reasons which brought the society on the verge of destruction? The only reason is that our soul is yearning of being deprived of faith and is ignorant of righteousness and truthfulness.
A cure for all physical ailments: As it has been mentioned previously that the soul is embedded within the body. It will be known by a little consideration that the building collapses only if the foundations are weak. It means poor origins cause the loss of foundations. So today, if the soul is given its desired food and be contented with faith and ethics, satisfied with emotions, feelings and everything it lacks to get rid of its ailments; it will not only overcome the social chaos but also cure the body from all diseases, since a strong origin ensures the safety of a building.
But there is a condition to get all these benefits, that besides taking care of physical nourishment, you have to cater to your spiritual growth as well because it’s not body but soul that strengthens the faith. So the society should also consist of souls and not just bodies as only the spiritual faith enables a society to survive and excel.
