"This means that if man, who is created on the most excellent of patterns, restricts his thought to the life of this world, he falls a hundred times lower than a creature like a sparrow, although he is higher than the animals. I explained this fact in another place by means of a comparison. It is related to this, so I shall repeat it here. It was like this:" içeriğiyle yeni sayfa oluşturdu

For sure, all the wonderful faculties given to men were  not  for  this  insignificant  worldly  life, but  for  an  everlasting  life  of  great significance. For if we compare  man with the animals, we see that man is very rich in regard to faculties and members, a hundred times  more so than the animals. But in the pleasures of worldly life and in animal life he falls a hundred times lower. For in each pleasure he receives is the trace of thousands of pains. The pains of the past and fears of the future and the pain at each pleasure’s passing spoil the enjoyment to had from them, and leave a trace in the pleasure. But animals are not like that. They receive pleasure with no pains. They take  enjoyment with no sorrow. Neither the sorrows of the past cause them suffering, nor the fears of the future distress them. They live peacefully, and offer thanks to their Creator.
Evet insana verilen bütün cihazat-ı acibe, bu ehemmiyetsiz hayat-ı dünyeviye için değil, belki pek ehemmiyetli bir hayat-ı bâkiye için verilmişler. Çünkü insanı hayvana nisbet etsek görüyoruz ki insan, cihazat ve âlât itibarıyla çok zengindir, yüz derece hayvandan daha ziyadedir. Hayat-ı dünyeviye lezzetinde ve hayvanî yaşayışında yüz derece aşağı düşer. Çünkü her gördüğü lezzetinde bir elem izi vardır. Geçmiş zamanın elemleri ve gelecek zamanın korkuları ve her bir lezzetin dahi elem-i zevali, onun zevklerini bozuyor ve lezzetinde bir iz bırakıyor. Fakat hayvan öyle değil. Elemsiz bir lezzet alır, kedersiz bir zevk eder. Ne geçmiş zamanın elemleri onu incitir, ne de gelecek zamanın korkuları onu ürkütür. Rahatla yaşar, yatar, Hâlık’ına şükreder.

Demek ahsen-i takvim suretinde yaratılan insan, hayat-ı dünyeviyeye hasr-ı fikr etse; yüz derece sermayece hayvandan yüksek olduğu halde, yüz derece serçe kuşu gibi bir hayvandan aşağı düşer. Başka bir yerde bir temsil ile bu hakikati beyan etmiştim. Münasebet geldi, yine o temsili tekrar ediyorum. Şöyle ki:
