To believe in God is to see the invisible force behind visible objects. This requires a special vision, enabling one to penetrate superficial forms and perceive the reality of all things. To truly believe in God is to find the true answer to the human search for a superior Being. One endowed with such vision sees God's greatness everywhere; he looks only to God as great. He submits entirely to God, and trusts in Him alone. So engrossed in God’s overpowering greatness does he become that all worldly creatures, including himself, fade into insignificance in his sight. o True Character Inclinations towards peace or violence serve as indicators of the true character of the human being. If the former proves the humanity of the individual, the latter proves his animality, despite his appearing to be a human being.
