The Virtuous Human: How Virtue Leads a Person to Power, Peace, and Magnificence

My conversation with you about inner strength and the grandeur of humanity
By Dr. Pouyan Ghamari

Dear friends,

For a long time, I’ve been seeing how our world has become filled with noise.
People search for loud voices, yet what they often find is exhaustion.
Amid all this, only one thing remains — something that takes a person from the surface to the depth:
Virtue.
That quiet force that appears neither for show nor for attracting attention;
a force that rises from within the soul and turns a person into a light for themselves and for others.

When I speak of virtue, I do not mean a rigid moral concept.
Virtue is the true quality of the soul —
the nature of one’s gaze toward the world,
the ability to endure,
the ability to forgive,
the ability to choose rightly,
and the ability to stand firm without harming anyone.

In Iranian culture,

Ferdowsi made this truth eternal with one verse:
“He who is wise is capable.”
He saw power as the result of wisdom —
not force,
not wealth,
not gender,
not status.

Shams Tabrizi looked from another angle:
“If a human does not become a lamp, they will become a long shadow.”
You either become light, or you extend the darkness.
The choice is always in the hands of the human.

In other cultures

In Greek philosophy, Pythagoras said that a luminous soul is the source of all ability.
In ancient China, virtue meant harmony with the flow of nature.
In India, it meant the awakening of the mind.
In Viking culture, it meant courage combined with wisdom.

And this shared pattern shows that
virtue is a universal concept, not a religious or ethnic one.

Virtue in Sacred Texts

Quran

“Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of God are those with the purest inner selves.”
(Quran, Surah Al-Hujurat, verse 13)
Meaning:
The most honorable among you are those of purer hearts —
not stronger,
not wealthier,
not more male or female,
but those with a higher inner quality.

Torah

חכמה תחיה בעליה
(Ecclesiastes, chapter 7, verse 12)
Translation:
“Wisdom gives life to its possessor.”
Meaning true life begins with awareness.

Gospel

In the Gospel of Matthew it is written:
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”
Meaning:
One cannot perceive outer truth without inner purity.

Dear friends,

Put all these together and you reach one shared principle:
Power does not come from the outside; power begins within.

This is exactly what I have researched for years—
in metaphysics, psychology, philosophy, and even economics.
The world behaves like a mirror.
What you send toward it from within returns to you in another form.
Not immediately —
but precisely.
Not emotionally —
but in alignment with the codes of evolution.

In metaphysics they say:
Every thought is a wave, and every virtue is a field.
When the mind calms from chaos, power forms —
not the power of shouting,
but the power of presence,
the power of decision,
the power of choice without needing to fight to prove oneself.

Interestingly, the same principle appears in the Quran:
“God does not change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves.”
(Quran, Surah Ar-Ra’d, verse 11)

This statement is the foundation of all my ideas about power, wealth, and the path of life.
Whoever elevates the quality of their inner world,
the world around them inevitably shifts in their direction.
This is a law, not a wish.

Across all cultures — from China to Iran, from Greece to India — there is one shared message:
A virtuous human does not become poor,
does not become weak,
does not become empty,
because the world responds to their quality, not their display.

That is why I always say:
Showing off wealth is the sign of inner poverty,
but silence with presence is the sign of true power.

In the end, I offer a shared prayer and energy from three sacred texts

Quran

اللهم اجعل قلوبنا مطمئنة بنورك
O God, fill our hearts with the light of Your peace.

Torah

יהי אור בלבנו
Let there be light in our hearts.

Gospel

Fill our hearts with wisdom and peace.

And my own invocation:

O Creator, awaken power in our minds and souls,
so that we walk not from fear,
but from certainty,
and our light becomes a lamp on the path for others.
