13:3
You have already understand the wisdom of “two” that, without exception, all things are in the pairs (13:3; 36:36; 51:49). Therefore, just as there are two places of the subjugation of the universe, namely the external world and the world of particles of personal world. In the personal world, the universe is subjugated in the form of the particles of soul. This is both actually as well as potentially. For verses relating to the subject of subjugation (taskhir) look at the Quraanic words derived from the root letters: sin-kha-ra. For example, see verse (45:13): “And He subjugated to them whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, everything is from Him. Verily there are signs (of God) is this for those who reflect.” Thus it is extremely necessary to understand this reality in the connection with the recognition of the Imam.
Reflect and contemplate on verses (13:3; 43:12; 51:49) so that you will come to know that the fruits of the Paradise of knowledge, are pairs of two things. In this, the main secret is that of the contraries or opposites (azdad), in which two opposite things are called a pair. There are many wisdoms of the law of opposites or pairs, for instance, where the physical ark is mentioned, there the spiritual ark is also mentioned. For the physical and spiritual are two opposites or a pair. Thus the ark of Nuh in the Qur’an is a fruit of knowledge, but it is not single, it is a pair.
