When we contemplate matter, then material laws (physics) and material attributes come to the surface. However, when our mind goes deeply into the matter, we become aware of the world which is the basis of matter. We can call that the world of light. When scientists research the ingredients of matter, the atom and its particles come to light. Among the atomic particles, electrons have dual attributes. On one hand, it is a material particle; on the other, it is merely a ray. The system of rays inside the atom points to the world of illumination or light. Hence, whatever we see in our environment, on one hand, has a physical side, and on the other, it is a halo of light. Whatever motion takes place in that halo of light reflects physical being. Based on its scientific principle, if a number of electrons and protons are altered, then that atom changes its form. In a nuclear reaction, uranium, after fusion, converts to plutonium. Hence, those atomic particles that belong to the world of rays—if any changes occur to them—then they change their shape. When a change takes place in the world of rays or light (non-physical world), then the same change is reflected in the physical identity of that element.
Just as with every physical being, a system of electrical flow works in the same way. Since humans also possess the electrical system, according to Sufism, man is not just a statue of flesh and bones; besides being a physical being, he is also a luminary being. Moreover, that luminary being is his essence. That being is the electrical ray or current.
