The Divine Organisation of History

English book, p. 37

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Negative Interpretation of History level of society is concerned, it is not at all possible in this world of test. In this world, possessing a positive mindset is essential to keep to the right path. However, leading a life with such an outlook is not a simple matter, for one has to undergo a mandatory test of managing two opposite and conflicting tendencies. Man is by nature an idealist. But he has to live practically in an imperfect world. It is important to be consciously aware of this fact, otherwise owing to the idealistic bent of mind he would negatively react to different experiences he encounters within the imperfect world. Being deprived of positive thinking, consequently, is akin to divesting oneself of all goodness. It is akin to losing everything. Man must be consciously aware of the fact that he was gifted with an idealistic bent of mind so that he might become a seeker of Paradise, rather than fruitlessly pursuing a heavenly life in this world. The present world is designed to produce heavenly individuals rather than heavenly society.
