Perfect man and perfect behaviour (18)

Valuation to “School of mind”
Thus, according to this school, the entity, essence, origin of the man is his mind.
But, other organs (eyes, ears etc.) and feelings (imagine, panic, etc.) only are tools for this essence.
Surely, faith to the truth is aware about that.
To be aware is a mind issue.
But, to be aware about truth is not faith and perfection.
To understand and to be aware is not the end of the matter.
The second phenomena parallel with mind (to be aware) is also necessary for perfection and for faith to truth.
This phenomenon is sympathy and divine love.
So, according to the “School of mind”: perfection = mind (truly know the truth).
But, according to the Islam: perfection = mind (truly know the truth) + divine love (sympathy to truth).
The “School of mind” is near to perfection, but is not perfection.
According to Islam, the “School of mind” is not perfect because of looking to only one side of the truth.

Used from M.Motahhari “Perfect man”
