Grand Symphony

The world we perceive is an interpretation of the codes in the Unseen. In simple terms, we are experiencing an allegorical expression of Truth. If we look at it from the fundamentals of aesthetics, every object that we see is actually a symbol, articulated with Divine perfection, hence, pleasing to the senses, at the same time having a specific function. For example, when we look at teeth, they appear to be a set of pearls in our mouth, but we know that each tooth has its own architecture, anatomy and physiology, yet in reality, they are formulae that our mind is translating and helping us see a virtual universe.

According to Qalander Baba Aulia, a famous Sufi Saint, God intended to reveal himself and commanded “Be!”, and the Beatific Vision that already existed in His mind, manifested. Although, it is merely a single thought, the whole cosmos resides in it. This particle contains a Scripture, which is being played as a simulation or a program on the screen of consciousness. Each symbol of this script is a unique vibration. A letter joins with another and creates a sound, which further takes a physical form. Every word is like a molecule or a compound, composed of various elements that create a symphony.

The Creator, Himself, is leading an Orchestra, and each symbol is conspiring to sustain this awesome illusion that shall echo till eternity.
