To be awake is to live fully, alert to both the unseen spiritual realities and the tangible earthly environment around us. Many fall into the error of leaning too far in one direction: some pursue spiritual enlightenment while neglecting the practical demands of life, while others get lost in worldly pursuits and silence the voice of the spirit within. Both paths, in isolation, invite harm.
A man who lives solely in the spiritual, forgetting his earthly responsibilities, leaves open doors for ill-disposed men to manipulate, exploit, and even dominate. By detaching himself from the world’s practical realities, he surrenders the ground to those who are all too eager to seize it. On the other hand, a man who immerses himself only in earthly matters, without spiritual awareness, walks blindly into traps, driven only by ambition or fear, without guidance from higher wisdom.
True safety and progress lie in balance. To be awake spiritually is to sharpen discernment, strengthen inner sight, and anchor life on eternal truth. To be awake on earth is to act wisely, responsibly, and courageously in the environment where we live. One cannot survive without the other.
Wakefulness is both the best defense and the severest struggle. It demands discipline, vigilance, and courage to resist the temptation of sleep whether spiritual slumber or earthly indifference. Yet through this wakefulness, we stand guard over our lives, protect our families, and prevent evil attacks before they strike.
The call is clear: do not drift through life half-asleep. Keep your spirit alive, and your eyes open to the world around you. In the harmony of earth and spirit, we find the strength to live wisely and victoriously.
