B)
The human
body
is a unique and wonderful city in which different functionaries and
professionals work. For example:
1) Stomach is like a kitchen which
prepares food. 2) Liver is like a grocer which excretes juices and the
distillates. 3) Gall Bladder is like a herbal doctor which adds bile (alkali).
4) Intestines, skin, kidneys and lungs are janitors and brooms which clean the
garbage, filth and excrements in forms of stool, urine, sweat and gases out of
the city and keep the city clean. 5) There is an illusionary (histrionic)
juggler inside the body that transform the things in seconds and mixes the food
in the blood and blood into the flesh. 6) There is a baker that bakes the
bricks of the bones. 7) There is a weaver that is weaving the chords of nerves
There
is a stitching master that is stitching the robes of body, that is, it is
filling and curing the wounds in body. 8) A dryer is in action that is dying
the teeth, bones, hair and blood and other components of the body with their
respective white, black and red etc. 9) There is a painter and photographer
that is making the photo of the fetus inside the dark and private chamber of
the womb of mother. 10) A carpenter, ironsmith, cobbler and goldsmith and a
number of other workers and experts are on job in order sustain the building of
the body and to fix the tissues of flesh on hard bones and to maintain and
enhance the appearance, contour and physique of human
body with different
accessories.
And so on you can deduce other
things like above.

mini universe in which:

All the animals

E)
All the
Angels (Malaika) are present inside man in the form of deeds of
virtue and the praiseworthy traits. All devils are present inside man in form
of bad
deeds and the condemnable traits.
? In short, the human
being is a
model and sample and fruit. If it is regularly cultivated and trained and if it
becomes Kaamil
Imaam
Mubeen, the entire universe and all that which it contains
become visible in him:
And all things We have kept in a
clear register (the Kaamil
Human
Being) (36:12)
The earth, heavens, the Arsh
and
Kursi
,
All are inside you, you need not to
find elsewhere.
Moreover, the Creator of the
Universe cannot come in earth, heavens, Arsh, Kursi
and the entire universe (as
these things are small to accommodate) but He comes inside the heart
of a Momin.
A person can hardly digest this thing and cannot imagine as how can so many
things come inside the small body of the human
being. However, when we see the
endocarp of mango, it becomes hard to accept that it will give rise to such a
big and heavy mango tree along with so many branches, shoots, fruit and leaves
(and all these things are present inside the seed of mango). Thus, the human
being is just a worthless and ordinary thing if he is without Inwardly
Education and Training and he can become a marvelous thing, rather, everything
through the Inwardly
Education and Spiritual Training. With this theory and
assumption, the difference and distinction amongst our afore-mentioned
Subtleties
of the Nafs
, Qalb
, Spirit
and Sirr
etcetera becomes well clear
that when a fruit, like the seed of mango, becomes living and green, it
produces a marvelous tree which bears thousands of fruits like it.
