Quote

“If we relate our love for everything to God, and thus, if we are able to take love in its real meaning, we will then be aloof from the various things that disperses love and we will avoid associating partners with God.”
-Fethullah Gulen

Love and Mercy - Forgiveness. Tolerance. and Dialogue
Written by Fethullah Gulen   
Sunday, 15 January 2006
Conscience which has a central position in a person's being and feeling that he or she is a human being is a spiritual mechanism which wills feels perceives and is always open to eternity.

The will-power feeling mind and heart which are the "senses" or faculties of the perceptiveness of the spirit are also the most important dynamics of conscience by which a person is able to attain human perfection in this world and eternal happiness and vision of the Almighty in the next.

Conscience is a pure bright mirror to the existence of God and is matchless in recognizing Him and making Him known to others provided it has eyes to look with insight.

Since collective conscience serves as an unerring and undeceiving judge everyone should resign themselves to its verdicts and affirm it as a referee in their disputes.

Duty is what God commands and Prophets carry out and communicate to others. Everyone must accept it and set themselves to do it. God the Truth is the Absolute Judge and conscience is the purest mirror to Him. It reflects whatever it reflects with such clarity and power that only the dread of inability to live up to its truth can cloud it and even that most rarely.

The more intellectually and spiritually disciplined one is the more consistent and harmonious one's thoughts and actions are. The more open to the realms beyond one's conscience is the more Divinely inspired and guided one's manners are.

Since conscience is the feeling and perceptive faculty of the spirit it has always been regarded as open to the realms beyond uncontained by space having sound criteria and as pure as angels.

There are many judges and almost all of them issue verdicts based on the same sources and yet their verdicts may differ. But the conscience is a judge with such penetrating insight that it can issue verdicts based on truths and its verdicts will deceive no one.

Collective conscience means the perception discernment and insight of the great majority of people and therefore rarely errs especially when its knowledge is corroborated by a Divinely inspired source.
