Being God Conscious
One who journeys through the stages of spiritual development and arrives at the Truth is referred to in the Quran as ‘an-nafs al-mutmainnah’, or a complete person, or a ‘soul at peace (89: 27). A complete person or a soul at peace is one in whom the human attributes are found in abundance, emotionally balanced, free from psychological complexes and whose conscience prevails over his ego in all situations. Despite having great capabilities, he develops modesty in himself. Being free from negative emotion, he relates to people evenly, be they ‘friends’ or ‘strangers’. He is entirely above personal interests. He lives by the higher principles of life. The secret of becoming a soul at peace lies in inculcating a sense of deep God-consciousness, taqwa. It is the fear of God that makes one a complete person. Such a person submits to God’s Creation Plan. Having moulded himself in line with this Plan, he develops the necessary character. Rising above the material, he reaches the stage of perception described in a Hadith as the ability to “see things as they are” rather than be. He willingly concedes a reasoned argument. He judges matters objectively with no subjective bias. It is these people whom God will be pleased with and whom God will bless with a place in the eternal gardens of Paradise.
