First
of all let us mention the following point:-
It
wouldn’t be correct to search for new kinds of synthesis
because of thinking that the feeling of confidence has
weakened. As a matter of fact, it is very difficult for an
individual who has lost his faith and confidence to go into
these stages. Therefore, it is impossible to look for a
synthesis if one does not have the necessary confidence/faith.
As a
second point let us remember The Human-God cycle. Let us accept
that the biggest mistake is based on the understanding which
accepts that there is a God to be worshipped and this indeed
attracts the individual from different points.
For this
reason, we must admit that the individualistic/ being in
servitude side of the human being becomes more dominant.
As a
result, it is the human being himself who relates everything to
this worshipped God such as the happenning or not happenning of
things; honouring or degrading something.
The
reason is that the existence of a God to be worshipped takes
away the free will of the human being or by sharing it turns
him into a controlled, guided robot. If, we can leave the
understanding in which there is a god to be worshipped and if
we can
distribute this new awareness into every single point of our
lives, then it would be very easy for us to reach a new
synthesis.
The
philosophy to live without the concept ‘’beyond’’ is the first
indicator of our objective, perhaps it is the first signal of
our search for a new synthesis.
The
reason is that in the ordinary people underlying the thought/
the willingness for change there is definitely some
incontentment/ dissatisfaction.
The
most significant example for this can be seen in the life of
Hz. Mawlana. Before he had met Þems he was the most important
scientist of his time. However, his ideas which did not have
any connection with the essence were far from making him content
and most of the time he was bored and depressed because, the
understanding of stating a thesis, an anti thesis and reaching
a synthesis had not yet developed in his innate
program. Therefore, in the end he,himself was always the
looser and he could not reach the welfare/the freedom that he
had been longing for.
For a
long time, for many years he lived in this manner. However, this
person who had a strong determination and will power chose the
path for finding new synthesis under the direction of his
guide. He did not hesitate to do whatever
Þems had
told him to do. So, in a very short time he left aside his
conjectural self and attained the truth and reached the desired
level.
The
thought of searching for a new synthesis makes the individual
to be against the rules determined by the society.
The more
effective the struggle the more the dogmas will be turned down.
The individual’s state of mind, his request for more, his being
open to criticisms and discussions shows this openly.
If, at
this point we can get rid of the dualities, then we can
understand in a much better way how the existence has been
shaped by the cycles.
So long
as we do not push hard on the system it would be difficult to
reach new synthesis by small attempts.
At this
point it is very difficult for the traditions, the norms and
the value judgements in the society to support and get adapted
to
a new
structuring.
In order
to reach a new synthesis it is useful to make extensive studies.
It is obvious that without investigating the realities it will
be difficult to make some changes.
However,
we should respect the ones who want to stay as they are. It is
important not to overlook this detail.
