9 Asma 163 B.E. – August 28, 2006 A.D.
Today is Kamal, the day of Perfection. Now that is a rather intriguing title especially if it is the title of a poem. However, I am not discussing poems, but days of the week. In this case the second day of the week, so rather than thinking of today as Monday, think of it as Perfection.
Perfection is an attribute of God, one that humans can reflect to a certain degree. Another interesting thought, degrees of perfection, we perfect skills by practicing them, but how does a human ascend the degrees of perfection. A person does by practicing spiritual attributes, by praying, meditating, and passing tests. Tests and difficulties are those situations in life that come between a person and God or a goal.
Most people do not think of God as a goal, but knowledge of God is the goal of the human soul. The purpose of the individual is to know and worship God, the purpose of humanity is to carry forward an ever-advancing civilization. Achieving both of these purposes or of goals is possible through reflecting and practicing the attributes of God. This we do by degrees.
