In the realm of the animal kingdom...

In the realm of the animal kingdom, free-will is limited to the level of instincts, which are confined to the corporeal senses. Human beings however in addition to the animalistic and vegetative domain have two spiritual privileges: Intuitional desires, which are not limited within his physical needs. The power of the intellect, by which man can expand his realm of knowledge infinitely. These two privileges increase the domain of ‘free- will’ towards the infinite.

In the same manner by which the specific qualities help the vegetative realm to reach perfection, and corporeal senses aid the animal realm to its perfection, man accomplishes perfection on account of the intellect in association with awareness. It is this very intellect, which can determine the different levels of desirability and select the best choice at the time of multitude.

Based on the above, we can deduce that human behaviour is firmly established on the quality of free-will, which evolves from special desires that are selected and approved by the intellect. b. The practical rules of the intellect require the basis of speculation. Human behavior used in conjunction with free-will is a means to attain the desired objective. This behavior, because of its objective is valuable as it affects human perfection.

A behavior however, that alters perfection will subsequently have a negative value. When the intellect is able to judge human behaviour and ascertain its worth, man should then be aware of his existence and of the levels of perfection. He should thus know the different dimensions of his being and the purpose of his creation. On these grounds the correct ideology, which governs the valuable system of human behavior becomes intermixed with the correct worldview.

However we cannot judge human behavior unless we have arrived at these principles. Thus the speculative understanding, which composes the worldview, is the basis for the practical rules of the intellect. c. Results to be achieved By taking these preliminaries into consideration, we can comprehend the importance of inquiring into religion and of holding a correct worldview or ideology.

Man by his nature pursues perfection and aims to reach the state of perfection through the performance of actions and behavior. However in order to know which kinds of behavior will assist him in reaching this goal, he first needs to be aware as to what is his infinite level of perfection.
