All your life you want to make yourself a hero, you want to make a memorial for yourself, you strive to be mentioned and quoted. You use phrases such as: I usually say that… it's nothing, but happened to me that… Who the fuck are you? No one cares what you say and what you think! Believe me. If you roar like this all your life then die, people can't wait to take you to the cemetery and even a dog won't visit your grave anymore. Maybe on the day of the dead, for the sake of pretense. But people will be happy to get rid of an ego-inflated somebody. With keeping silence and distance it would have been better.

Not only keeping ego away, but looking at events from above also makes life easier. Because we often delve ourselves into the details and pull ourselves into the swamp. It should be the other way around. One must come out of the swamp and not sink into it. A boxing match is enjoyable remotely, but experiencing it inside the ring involves suffering and lots of slaps. And you want to see it from inside the ring.
The importance of distance is also present in regard of the words. Notice that the words of persons you are dealing with on a daily base, pass by your ears. But when they are dead or you have no access to them anymore, you begin to comprehend the depth of some of their statements. The word of a dead man is strengthened, the hours we have spent with him are beautified and become an experience. What's the secret? That the words of the dead are no longer heard by our sense-organs but come from within. Here's the secret.
Everything that our senses bring to us feed the ego. With distance, the role of the sense-organs diminishes, we can't see and hear and our accumulated knowledge, awareness, and thoughtfulness filters out dominantly what has to be integrated or discarded. So, watch out! The sense-organs will fool you if you don't handle them properly! They feed your ego what force you into depression if you lose control. You are not obliged to see in order to believe, but you must be able to believe in order to see!

Here we come to the issue of the surface (Ahl al-Zahir) and the inner content (Ahl al-Batin). At this point, the issue of the worldview also becomes separate. According to a secular scientist science means what he understands and solves from world and how much of its Invisible part (A'alem alGheib) can he transpose into the Visible Province (A'alem al-Shihada). So, to make as many Signs as possible comprehensible by our sense-organs. And for a religious scholar science means to discover the Messages in the Signs of the Visible and Invisible World for mankind. The aim is not to supply the sense-organs but the heart and the consciousness. These two kinds of scientific approaches meet several times, but sometimes they do not. In secular science, man often becomes "God," and his discoveries lead to the loss of dimension. He thinks that with his knowledge he can emerge above other creatures and overwrite creation. The faith-based approach of science does not encourage overwriting creature but to fit into it.
In reality, however, the exclusive pursuit of both paths is a dead end. Surface cannot exist without content and vice versa. The combination of the two, that is, discovery and deciphering messages, are complementary. But none of them can cause the growth of our ego beyond its borders.

Within the Islamic tendencies, among others there are two schools: the Zahir, which is public, accessible to all, and Batin, which is the inner, hidden, or with modern terminology the esoteric doctrine. The analysis of these is far-reaching and distracts our attention from the inner understanding and teaching of the Quran. The hardening of Zahir tendency can lead to rigid orthodoxy while the Batin to secret practices based on the feelings of a "teacher" what can divert from the true essence of Islam.
We get the mainstream teaching of Islam if we don't delve into the plane schools and remain in the space of Quran. In the case of schools, I used the expression plane, regarding Quran I told: space. The reason is that schools, under human control, lose a dimension and make incomprehensible the phenomena what can be understood only in space. To put the spatial world into plane-perception is a mistake.
The space is inside you! This is not the same space as other people's space. You are different. You have other abilities, talents, understanding. If your space enters a mosque, a temple where religion and not faith is taught - which means the privatization of faith by man -, then your space becomes a gray plane. From here you become a zombie and follow a herd. This is not what Allah (SWT) teaches. Allah teaches you how to deal with your ego, the balances with the world and this is completely unique. Only you can adjust your balance! To do this, you need to rely on the Creator and in His work. In the creation you can discover the balances what you can customize. To do this, you need to keep a sort of distance from the human artificial world that controls your senses.

He is the First and the Last, the Evident and the Immanent: and He has full knowledge of all things. (Quran 57:3)
