75:14
God says in the Wise Qur'an: "Oh, but man is observer of his self (spirit)" (75:14). This implies that man, in reality is capable of observing his spiritual states with his inner eye (chasm-i dil). If he has lost this capacity, it is his own fault. Observing in the light of this verse, it becomes evident that, after the Prophet and the Imam, it is also possible for the lower ranks to see the spirituality of every kind.
In verse (75:14), it is said: “But man is aware (basirah) of his state”. In this noble verse, the way the word “basirah” is used is the key to its wisdom, which in the true sense, is applicable only to the Perfect Man. For, basirah is the name of insight or the sight of the heart, by which is meant a complete spirituality. This verse is directly related to the verse (12:108), in which light is shed on the word basirah, by using it for the holy Prophet, as well as for those who obey him. As for the common people, the share which they have received of it is dream, in which the result of their good and bad deeds comes in front of them.
