Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Continued from Pt. IV: "The way of the prophet is a more balanced way, for in the life of the prophet there is the balance of both of these attributes: the power of attainment and the patience to resign to the Will of God. So the prophet is a warrior and a peacemaker both at the same time. The work of the prophet is not only his own spiritual attainment but some certain service of great importance to perform. And as the prophet goes through all above said five stages, so he acts on the way of the fulfilment of his life's mission as a warner, as a healer, as a reformer, as a judge, as a teacher, as a priest, as a preacher. Therefore such services keep the prophet away from what his soul always craves for and that is the solitude in the wilderness. He longs for one place and he is put in another place. The soul who yearns constantly to fly away from the crowd, is put owing to his mission, in the very midst of the crowd. In this way the work of the prophet in the world becomes as hard as if a person were asked to jump into the water and then come out all dry. He must live in the world and not be of the world. However, it is the prophetic soul whose life's ininjunction very often is to serve humanity in its' time of need. And it is fulfilment of this service which makes him Rasul, the Messenger.
