All these three states are latent in water and are felt. That is, it becomes solid when it is ice. It is liquid when is melts and becomes water and when it is given sufficient heat on fire, it converts into steam and comes in gaseous state. Among these three states, the state of gas is very subtle and (mostly) invisible. Now if we take this air and if its contents are observed, it is a mixture of more subtle gases like Oxygen, Hydrogen and Nitrogen etcetera. Similarly, these gases also are composite of the electrical particles of Ether but human senses and the experiments and observations of the knowledge of science and chemistry exhaust when come at this point and cannot cross this limit. Therefore, man finishes the explanation of the makeup and composition of the things subtler to these by giving these the name of vacuum (space) or nonentity although this chain of subtlety ends on the boundary of the kingdom of unseen and the kingdom of Spirits and the range of subtle world of the Unseen (the Invisible) starts ahead of this limit. It should not be implied from this that that subtle Spiritual World is some another sphere above the atmosphere of the sphere of earth but instead that Subtle Spiritual World is incorporated and meddled but rather is the marrow and kernel of this our world of water and adobe and it is current and present in its each particle as blood is in body and life is present in blood or butter in milk and Ghee in butter but rather an undisputable and untellable confluence is in voyage. Human being makes a subtle Spiritual world around him in dream which we call an imperfect raw model of Spiritual world and as a handful sample of the ass-load. Same as a peremptory confluence and link is of the Ruh (Spirit) with body and of the material world with the Inwardly Spiritual world, same like this a subtle, peremptory and most hidden partly and wholly, Inwardly and Outwardly, imperatively and temperamentally and Inwardly and Outwardly relation and Tasarruf of Allah Almighty the Creator of the Creation is with His Creation and those are the traces and Anwaar of the Tajalliyaat of His Essence, Caliber, Name and Action which are being manifested by the scene and unseen of the universe on which is dependent the existence and total system and establishment of the whole universe and the entire creations.

You are the First and the Last, there is no reality of the past and present,

You are the Visible and the Invisible, there is no reality of the existence of nonentity,

Transmission and peregrination of Your beginning and end are impossible,

Your Outward free of 'how and when' and Inward is free of 'what and why'.

Regrets that letting the carnal people becoming percipients of the subtle world of the kingdom of Spiritual abode of the realm of the invisible and the indisputable and free of ifs and buts Matchless and Unparalleled Entity of Allah Almighty is far more difficult than giving the sense of the colors and shape and form of the things of world or the presence of the sun which provides heat to the entire world to a born blind person. Side by side, the art of writing is just an imperfect device and incomplete manifestation of the description of the real thoughts of the human heart and brain and especially for the exact feelings, imperceptible accurate conditions of the Inwardly (invisible) world. Yet further, the scope of the words and letters is so limited and narrow that we are not left with any other option but to give examples and metaphors in order to explain this. However, those people, in whose hearts Allah Almighty has entrusted the seed of the Noor of Eimaan since the first day and those people who have the Spiritual competence and Spiritual capacity and they have not wasted it through their bad deeds, disobediences and extremism, for them our hints and metaphors can surely become the torch of the course. But there is no cure for those who are Shaqee and are blind since Azal. For them, if all curtains and Hijaabaat are lifted, and they are shown the Great Assembly and Decision after establish it, they will still not become those who will accept as Allah Almighty has said:

And though We should send down the Angels unto them, and the dead should speak unto them, and We should gather against them all things in array, they would not believe unless Allah so willed (6:111)

We have somewhat described afore the confluence and relation of the Spiritual world with material world, now we describe the Haal of the direct confluence and relation of the Spirit with human body by which, Insha Allah (if Allah Wills), sufficient clarity will be achieved about the reality of the Ruh (Spirit).
