We are waves whose stillness is non-being.
We are alive because of this, that we have no rest.
-Abu-Talib Kalim
This command is all about purpose. Everything that exists has come into being because a living mind originally had a purpose for it. Every object in our daily lives was created to do something. The hammer was designed to drive nails; the television was designed to entertain, and human beings exist to express the Divine.
When things stray from their original purpose, we receive suffering and discord. When the hammer is used as a murder weapon, the television to indoctrinate, and man to generate chaos, purpose is not being served. The single driving force behind the universe is reason, meaning purpose.
Most people tend to take the nauseating point of view that 'God' doesn't exist because they cannot comprehend why he would set-up creation the way it is, nor why it was created. The truth is in reason. The universe exists in its configuration to give the utmost potential for growth. This becomes even more sensible when one realizes that creation gives the Creator the one thing it cannot give itself, purpose and love. A being that is whole by itself can only gain a sense of meaning or purpose through the interaction with another being.
Very often we fail to see purpose in action. Consider the following.
A man was trapped on top of his house during a flood. Along came another man in a boat, and he offered to take the man on the house to safety. The man on the house declined saying, "God will save me". The waters continued to rise.
Later a woman in a boat came by and offered to take him away to safety. The man declined saying, "God will save me". The waters continued to rise.
Then came a young child in a boat, who offered to take him to safety. The man declined saying, "God will save me". Shortly thereafter the man drowned.
He then went before his God and said " Lord, Lord why didn't you try to save me?"
The Lord then replied "What more did you want? I sent you three boats!"
Another aspect of this command is the concept of Organic Portals. An Organic Portal is an individual that becomes the focal point of higher state entities. Generally speaking they are uncommon, but we all have times of contact with them in our lives. We have all experienced someone who only seems to exist to annoy and make us miserable.
Higher order negative entities use foolish individuals to generate chaos, frustration, and aggravation in our lives, while higher order positive entities do the reverse. Since reality is mostly perception, one should keep in mind that some time you are the one wielding the hammer, and some times you are the one being wielded.
