when this item moves on to the unconscious mind, it is preserved as a positive item rather than a negative one. For instance, if any thought of hatred comes to his conscious mind he has to diffuse that hatred and convert it into thoughts of love. When some jealous thought comes to his mind, he should convert it into feelings of acknowledgement. One who converts negative experiences into positive lessons will form a positive personality. On any matter when his ego has been stoked, he should convert it into modesty. Any experience producing in him feelings of selfishness should be converted into the feeling of selflessness. In any event, if he thinks he is deprived of his rights he should mould these feelings into that of gratitude. For those men or women who manage to build such a personality, the store of their consciousness will be a treasury of positive items. It will be completely free from negative items. It is positive personalities such as these that will receive a place in the Garden of flowers in the eternal world after death. There they shall spend their lives in a state of eternal joy and bliss. o Education in Islam A study of the life of the Prophet of Islam tells us that education, which is the arousal of human awareness, is as essential for women as it is for men. Indeed, it is only aware men and women who can conduct the matters of life smoothly.
