Certainty from Erfan perspective (part two) 

In Erfan teachings, certainty comes in three levels: knowledge of certainty, sight of certainty, and truth of certainty.

But what does knowledge of certainty mean? It's when someone really knows and understands what they're sure about. It's not just guessing or assuming. So, in life, whenever we do something or want something, it's important to really understand it. Otherwise, we might later realize that what we were so sure about wasn't really based on solid knowledge. For example, think about how scientists plan space missions. They don't just guess or hope for the best; they plan everything carefully based on what they know. Even if a mission fails, they learn from it and improve. Life is kind of like that, too. We can't just guess or take chances. Look at people who gamble with their lives as if it's a game—they usually end up losing. So, it's crucial to approach life with knowledge, awareness, and clear thinking. Unfortunately, some people today ignore this important idea.

Now, let's talk about the knowledge of certainty from the Erfan point of view.

Understanding God has different levels, depending on how sure we are about God. Mystics compare it to understanding fire. We know fire exists because we see flames and smoke. Similarly, we see signs of God in the world around us. But just like most of us haven't been to space, we don't fully understand everything about God. We know the soul exists because it's linked to life. When someone dies, their body stops moving, which we think happens because their soul leaves. But we don't really know where the soul goes or how it works exactly. Guessing or reading books won't give us all the answers. Sometimes people share their experiences, but that only helps us understand a bit more, not everything.

Talking about the soul gets pretty complicated, but I've discussed it a lot in other conversations. I believe that to really understand things, you have to experience them yourself. That's how you reach the highest level of certainty—the knowledge of absolute truth. I'll explain more about this later.
