High Thinking

English book, p. 92

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

God Almighty is the Creator of the Universe. God is the highest reality. God is beyond time and space. God is omnipresent. God is greater than all great things. God is supreme in every sense of the word. Remembering God, in other words, means remembering the Higher Reality. This kind of remembrance inculcates in one’s mind, high thinking and high thinking is the source of all kinds of high ideals. It is high thinking that makes one’s personality a great personality. High thinking leads to spiritual uplift and intellectual development. There are two worlds—material world and immaterial world. High thinking means thinking about the immaterial world. High thinking means living in the immaterial world. It is this immaterial world that is called the spiritual world, and it is spiritual thinking that leads to intellectual development. Living in the immaterial world does not mean abandoning the material world and taking refuge in jungles and mountains. No, immaterial living means to extract immaterial items from the material world. When you are able to extract spiritual lessons from the material world, you are a spiritual person, that is, you have discovered the inner meaning of the external world. Material world is full of immaterial lessons. In every material experience there are some meaningful lessons.
