The Human and Their Inner Profundities Part -2 | Fethullah Gulen

The Human and Their Inner Profundities – Part II

This episode reflects on what it means to be truly human—the delicate balance between faith and disbelief, virtue and corruption. Fethullah Gulen explains that true humanity begins with recognizing the relationship between God and His servants. Through this connection, faith elevates a person to nobility, while disbelief severs the link and leads to spiritual decay.
Without this awareness, individuals and societies fall into moral confusion—driven by greed, envy, deceit, and hostility. Outwardly refined but inwardly empty, they lose their sense of direction and harmony. True human worth lies not in appearance but in the purity of the heart and the effort to align one’s inner world with divine purpose.
The human soul contains both angelic and bestial qualities. To rise above, one must win the greater struggle within—the fight against ego and desire. Only then does one attain true freedom, humility, and peace before God. And even those who have fallen should be met with compassion, for every human carries a divine spark waiting to be awakened.
