Surah III, 133,
“Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your Lord and for a garden whose width is that (of the whole) of the heavens and of the earth prepared for the righteous. »
Those who have taken the step: “the believers who fear God are on the move, they are hurrying towards the forgiveness of the Lord, towards paradise as vast as the heavens and the earth”
It is about the movement in balance between what initiated it (fear) and what it opens to.
Fear is also one of the most powerful internal phenomena in Man, it is also this extraordinary which is present in the choice of this term.
Reunion, harmony, forgiveness, the experience of space: opening to the immeasurable. The believer enters their boundless dimension.
It opens up to divine geography.
The limits of the conceivable have been crossed for those who enter this dimension.
The verse unambiguously sheds light on the ten thousand universes of God, on the worlds beyond this world; it clearly informs the believer that the divine atlas is beyond the reach of his understanding and cannot be frozen in simplistic representations.
I am thinking here in terms of Mahayana Buddhism, of the immeasurable worlds and practices…
This paradise is prepared, it is waiting.
In the equation of salvation, the divine term is ready, pre-disposed, present from all eternity.
The other side of the equation,
The term « believer must start moving » is also the famous « blessed are… » of the Beatitudes which can be translated as « move forward »,
“Hurry,” the Quran tells us,
Hurry towards forgiveness
the forgiveness that is there, pre-disposed, by the Lord, waiting for you to move.

Yet, I cannot help thinking that to forgive oneself is the more important.

Yes.
Forgiving oneself has its limits, though.
Transcendence needs to appear somewhere in the process. Gently sprinkled or roaring and crumbling all walls to the ground.
This is my conclusion after having sat on a cushion facing a wall and watching inner processes for almost a decade, now.
Me, myself and I. :
Trap of modernity
applied to inner life.
Spiritual dead-end
