I watched a lecture by HamzaYusuf ; he used an analogy on our current world state in reference to the cosmos that furthered my understanding of the concept of oneness, and how each one of us inevitably affects the other.
The Ocean, in traditional cosmology is referred to as consciousness – the fact that all the great fish are dying off, however the brainless and spineless jellyfish, is thriving in the waters. That is a reflection of humanity, that all we do is consume ?
The oceans are acidic because we too are acidic, and the world manifests itself because of us. The Animal Kingdom on land is slowly being extinct, but the rats and cockroaches are multiplying! How simple, true, and clear is that?
A great sign indeed! Part of me feels amused but also humbled and loved for I see God in all of this, and another part of me is deeply saddened by this reality.
“Say: There can be no doubt that my Lord speaks with Truth of matters unseen, for He has absolute knowledge of the hidden realms of creation.” [Quran 34:49]
