00:00Consciousness is not what people make to be easy but throughout the Holy Qur'an it's all about
00:07the people of contemplation, consciousness, awareness. They're aware and they take an
00:14accounting and they continuously look to themselves and try to evaluate themselves,
00:21judge themselves, understand themselves, their character, their desires, goodness and their
00:28badness and as a result they become very conscious of the Divine and they wish to please the Divine
00:35and they wish forgiveness from the Divine and they wish that which is eternal. These are then the
00:42characteristics of be conscious, not over simplified from external people because they're external,
00:49they don't have any idea again like the blind trying to describe the visions of the oceans and
00:55horizons, not because of a handicap but because the Divine is saying that if you're blind here,
01:01not from handicap, this has to do with spiritual realities, you will be blind in heaven. There's
01:05no way to gain your reality in the grave. That was supposed to be struggled on the earth. You can
01:10free yourself from imprisonment in the grave but you don't get high ranks from the grave. That was
01:17supposed to be accomplished on this earth. You get freed from torment and difficulty in the grave,
01:23it's like a fail and you don't want to really fail and God brings you up to a D. We're
01:29not waiting for
01:29the grave to get our rank. Your rank was supposed to be achieved on this earth. You did your accounting,
01:35you took your life and thought that every day in my grave, am I doing good? Am I doing bad?
01:41And I
01:42make my counting of myself and as a result, they're very conscious of their situation.
