Souls and bodies

What are you? What exactly is a human being?

Each and everyone of us is a soul. A soul confined in a physical body. Why? Because we are in this dimension we call the dunya. And in the general run of things, free souls shouldn't wonder about in this dimension, for we are bounded by the physics and laws of this very world, so long as we are in it.

Our souls were put inside our bodies and the bodies were then birthed into the world. So we live in it. We use it. And as we grow and age, we get so used to this body, we start thinking it is ours and is us. We get too attached to this body, flesh and blood, we start losing definition of ourselves. We start rebranding ourselves with the skin we live in. Did you not know or did you forget? That life on Earth is just a phase (and a relatively short one too)? That we will soon leave the Earth and leave our bodies too? So this is me reminding you. That the body is no more than a transport. A transport we use to roam the lands of the Earth. Look at your hands, look at your limbs. That's not yours and definitely not you. You are more than that. You are a soul. A beautiful soul that does not belong to the dunya, but surpasses this realm. It knows no bounds, your soul can travel to the ends of the seven heavens if God wills. Your soul is a manifestation of God's power. That is the true you.

So do not reflect yourselves with mirrors for you will only see matter in order. If you want to see who you truly are, your authentic self, start living inside of your heart instead of your bodies. And that is for another topic. But read that again and let that sink in.

Don't lose focus of who you are. Don't lose focus of what truly matters. This world is not a destination, but merely a path on our journey. We haven't reached the end.
