📷If you want happiness…
Happiness comes from how we see the world and our own place in it. If we seek happiness, we must correct the way we look at the world, rather than trying to increase the benefits we reap out of it.

📷The importance of things we like
God takes a look at our hearts and loves us and forgives us for the sake of the good things we like. However, if we are not on friendly terms with the friends of God and dislike them, then He will throw us far away.

📷Compensating for all the maladies of life
Everyday life generally detaches us from God as the hustle and bustle of everyday life keeps us from moving towards God as we should. However, supplications to God as well as speaking to our Lord about all our woes and wishes make us humans aware of where we stand and where we should be. Speaking to God in a corner of seclusion compensates for all human maladies.

📷The pleasure we can get out of following our interests
Following interests is pleasurable. But we should know that interests are of two kinds, namely superficial interests and profound interests. The pleasure we get out of following profound interests is by far greater than that of pursuing superficial ones, for profound interests are entirely concerned with spiritual matters.

📷A good concern
Anxiety depresses and destroys human beings, incurring tremendous detriments upon their body and soul. However, appropriate spiritual concerns lead to the tranquility and wellbeing of human body and soul. One of the worthwhile spiritual concerns has to with our good destiny; this concern results in God the Almighty's protection of us.

📷Human heart is whimsical and neglectful
We should be wary not to let our heart wander off or move away from us, or else it would be hard or at times even impossible to take it back. Even if we take our heart back again, we would generally find it damaged or disabled. We ought to be aware of the fact that human heart is whimsical and immediately falls in love with frivolous pursuits. If we are negligent, it will go away from us and fall in love with trivial and frivolous things.

📷Profit-driven People
When profit-driven people are weak, they reckon that it would be expedient to maintain peace and they seek to justify it; however, when they are powerful, they mostly see expediency in oppression and war. In both groups, for the most part, fear is the driving force behind their flawed perception of expediency. In fact, it is only the courageous and kind people who can have proper considerations of expediency.

📷The most tremendous change in the world
The human being has such a great power that he can bring about the most tremendous change in the world, namely changing God's idea. A human being can please God the Almighty by penitence; on the other hand, he could change the merciful God's idea again by committing sin or change God's decision bout him once again by praying and supplicating.

📷The speed of time is not fixed
It seems that the speed of time is not fixed and it depends on the degree of our negligence. Time moves slowly and is full of blessings for those who remember God and who are not neglectful toward Him, while it moves more rapidly for those who are oblivious to the remembrance of God and who waste their time, missing the opportunity to make the best of even the least amount of time they have.

📷A peaceful Life
If a human being sees his benefits in the hands of God and his loss in God's control, relying upon God rather than just turning to people, he will find himself in peace and tranquility and will act freely. If you think of other than God as an important part of your life without the permission of God, you will easily become their servants and find it difficult to be a servant of God.
