Conclusion
The Truth Cannot be Avoided
An increasing number of
people are coming to accept this truth, which changes people's fundamental
ideas and obliges them to have faith in God. Accepting this truth
enables people to love and willingly abide by all the features of
that pleasing morality, and removes all evil feelings-such as competitiveness,
hatred and enmity-and replaces them with love, compassion and humility,
which is the true nature of matter. Those who say, "How is it that
it took me so long to realize a truth so obvious and simple as this?"
are in the majority.
It is very important that anyone who understands this
one truth should tell others about it. It enables people to definitively
grasp other difficult subjects, such as destiny, time, death, the
resurrection, heaven and hell. Everyone who does this will both
enable others to understand the Koran better and more quickly, and
will be a means whereby people turn rapidly to the true path.
God has given the glad tidings that when nothing is associated
with Him, when only He is worshipped, when only He is accepted as
the one deity and the one power.
For the good morality to hold sway over all the world,
the most important condition is for people to believe that there
is no other power than God. The subjects discussed in this book
need to be thoroughly understood in order to get rid of such polytheistic
ideas as thinking that matter has an absolute existence outside
God, that He can only permeate matter in an illusory manner, to
see God as an entity just as abstract as intelligence, to imagine
that human beings have a power other than God, that people can change
their destiny if they choose, or that time and place are absolute.
Those who ask why the matter is so important and why we devote space
to this subject at every available opportunity in all our books,
should think some more about it.
God is the only being to exist absolutely. He sees and
hears us as we read or think about this book and knows the secrets
of our hearts. God surrounds us from every direction. God exists
absolutely. It is we His servants who are abstract. This fact is
a source of great joy and beauty to all who love God and realize
that they are His servants. It cannot be right for people to seek
to avoid this truth. People must accept the truth with all their
hearts, not diminish themselves in the sight of God by ignoring
it.
We must not forget that the revelation of this truth
will be a means whereby materialism will be overthrown, and spirituality
and pleasing morality will rule the earth. People in materialist
circles who realize this are very uneasy when this truth is revealed,
and resort to the most ridiculous and desperate means to prevent
it from reaching peoples' ears. This is because they know it will
undermine the entire basis of their philosophy. However, the truth
about matter has now been revealed in complete clarity and openness.
This truth, which used to be just a philosophical speculation because
of the lack of scientific evidence, has now been totally validated
scientifically. Frederick Vester, for instance, who grasped the
truth of the matter, has this to say,
The statements of certain thinkers that "man is an image,
everything experienced is temporary and deceptive, and this universe
is a shadow," seem to be proven by science in our day.
All materialist squirming is to no avail. Now that knowledge
can be communicated all over the world in the blink of an eye, this
truth that they have tried to hide from peoples' eyes for hundreds
of years is now being read, learned and explained everywhere, from
Guyana to England, America to Indonesia, Singapore to Sweden, and
even in the strongholds of materialism, Russia, China, Cuba and
Albania. Materialism is falling apart with the greatest collapse
in history. That is because it has today been realized that we can
never approach the original of matter. We cannot know whether it
exists outside our minds. It is totally illogical to build a philosophy
on something that nobody can ever see. If we can never have a direct
relationship with matter, then there can be no materialism.
This important fact, completely demolishes the superstitious
and antireligious belief that is materialism.
As is revealed in this verse, when the truth comes to
replace falsehood, matter, which is the brain of materialism, which
is a false ideology, also disappears. No materialist has the slightest
chance of holding back or changing this fact.
