| In the Dance, the microcosm affects the macrocosm, which in turn affects a different microcosm. The microcosm (body) reflects the macrocosm (heavens), and vice versa. Devoid of that Divine presence which alone can impart a relative importance to the corporeal world in the overall scheme of things, the macrocosm not only becomes bereft of the Light which allows us to remain cognizant of its ontological dependence on the Creator, it also distorts the relationship between the macrocosm and the human being--the microcosm consisting of three distinct entities: the spirit (ruh), the soul (nafs), and the body (jism). |
