The Silent Power: Codes of Honor and Wealth in the Quran, Torah, Gospel, and Universal Wisdom

By Dr. Pouyan Ghamari

I have traveled the world for years, moving through cultures, religions, philosophies, and sacred books — and I have reached one profound conclusion:
A powerful human being never performs.
Because true weight needs no noise.

All the great religions of the world, from ancient times until today, share one message:
A person who constantly tries to show themselves is empty, and a person who builds is full.
This message appears in the Quran, the Torah, the Gospel, the Avesta, and even in the wisdom of China and India — each in different words.

And today, I want to unlock this shared code.

1. The Quran and the Code of Humility and Power

First Key Verse

Surah Luqman, Verse 18
“Do not turn your cheek away from people in arrogance, nor walk proudly upon the earth.”

My Analysis
The Quran tells us:
Anyone who needs to impress others is weak.
Real power is incompatible with arrogance —
it lives in dignity.

This verse directly states:
Showing off reflects weakness, and noise reflects lack.

And that is exactly why great individuals always move silently —
but their impact is loud.

Second Key Verse

Surah Hadid, Verse 20
“Know that the life of this world is nothing but play, amusement, and show.”

My Analysis
The Quran clearly says:
Appearance is only a game.
And whoever becomes a servant of this game
will never reach true substance.

This mirrors everything I have witnessed:
People who constantly perform are always poor —
poor in spirit,
poor in power,
poor in respect.

2. The Torah and Its Warning Against Showmanship

Book of Proverbs, 16:18
“Pride goes before destruction.”

This law never changes.
Whoever confuses performance with power
eventually burns themselves.

3. The Gospel and the Code of Inner Value

Matthew 6:1
“Do not perform your acts of righteousness before men to be seen by them.”

My Analysis
The Gospel says:
The real value belongs to the person who is not seen —
yet their influence is felt across the world.

This is the universal law of weight.

4. Persian Wisdom: Ferdowsi, Shams, and the Avesta

Ferdowsi wrote:
“Wisdom is the greatest gift God has given.”

Shams said:
“One who carries light needs no one else’s lamp.”

The Avesta teaches:
A good human shines from within, not from outside.

Their message is one:
If the light is real, it reveals itself.

5. The Wisdom of China, India, and Greece

The Tao Te Ching says:
“What sparkles has no real light;
what is still has roots.”

The Indian Upanishads state:
“Power is the silence of the self.”

Pythagoras taught:
“Numbers hold power, and silence gives life to numbers.”

Nietzsche said:
“True greatness is quiet; the weak are the ones who shout.”

6. What Is the Universal Code Behind All of This?

I have come to one conclusion:
All religions and wisdom traditions meet at one point:

Wealth, influence, and power begin inside a person — and from there, shape the world.

Not from showing off.
Not from claiming.
Not from appearances.

When the inside of a person is heavy,
money,
respect,
influence,
opportunities
—all move toward them.

When a person is empty inside,
they chase performance —
and the more they chase it,
the less they reach it.

7. The Final Result in One Practical Code

Throughout my life, I have learned and applied this code:

Every day, instead of trying to look big, I become bigger —
and the world has no choice but to notice.

Power,
wealth,
influence,
opportunity,
love —
all are the results of true inner weight,
not performance.

8. A Practical Version for Today

These three practices transform a person from showmanship to power:

1. Daily Increase of Mental Weight

– 40 minutes of reading
– 20 minutes of silence
– 10 minutes of writing

2. Complete Removal of Showing Off

Whenever you feel the urge to show something —
that exact point is your weakness.
Work on it instead.

3. Building Financial Discipline

Money comes through discipline,
not through claims.

These three form the code of wealth and power.
