For everything we do, we first find a need and an interest in it and then we pursue it. But for God, it is usually necessary for us to pursue Him and then we will feel a need and a liking for Him.

Good news for our French-speaking followers!
The book "Awaiting the Savior" has now been translated into French under the name "L’Attente du Sauveur."
In this 288-page book, the author, Ali Reza Panahian, has analyzed the three approaches to the topic “Awaiting the Savior: Unthinkingly, Wisely and Mystically.” The damage that results from having an unthinking way of awaiting the Savior is something common between all those who are awaiting the Savior in different religions. The author has explained some practical steps that can be taken to be able to await the Savior in a useful, fruitful way no matter what religion one believes in.
The Farsi and French versions of this book are now available on Amazon.

L’ATTENTE superficielle / sage / mystique du SAUVEUR
Le concept « d'Attente du Sauveur » existe dans toutes les religions. Mais est-ce qu’aujourd'hui, le simple fait d'attendre un sauveur a un effet sur nos vies ? Cela améliore-t-il nos vies ou au contraire est-ce un obstacle ? La vérité est qu'attendre un…
🔲 We can change our likings by controlling our mind.
🔲 If we don’t think about bad likings, they’ll get weaker. If we think about good likings, they’ll get stronger.
👉🏼 #ControllingMyMind (7)
➖Many people get annoyed when #religion tells them, "Don’t pursue bad interests," because they don’t have the strength to oppose their own interests. They are upset by religion’s command to "do good," because they’re not interested in doing good.
But religion says something even more important than this. It says, "Change your #interests,” or weaken bad interests and strengthen good ones.
➖Unlike animals, human beings "can change all their interests.” People can become interested in death, stop being attached to this world, and eliminate their jealousy and arrogance. God tells us, "Change your interests gradually. First plan and manage, then move forward." Western culture says, "Follow your interests!" But following interests without changing or managing them brings weakness.
➖There are 2 ways to change interests. One is our actions and behavior, especially if done continuously. The second is controlling our mind. We strengthen our interest in any subject we think and pay attention to. Don’t think about bad likings, & they’ll get weaker. Think about good likings, & they’ll get stronger. Imam Ali (as) said, “Whoever thinks much about enjoyments will be defeated.” [Ghurar al-Hikam, trad. no. 8,564]
➖Don’t pay attention to some things for even a moment, let alone think about them. Don’t even be aware of them. Mind management means controlling some of our awareness. Some knowledge is even forbidden, like hearing gossip. “A believer only uses his ears for gaining beneficial knowledge.” [Nahj al-Balaghah, Sermon no. 193] This is mind control.
➖The worst sins are committed in the mind. An example is hypocrisy. As soon as hypocritical thoughts come to your mind, that good deed is abolished! Arrogance and selfishness are even worse. The Messenger of God (s) said, “Sinning is better than avoiding sinning but becoming arrogant.” [Kafi, vol. 2, p. 313]. Arrogance is in the mind. It means looking only at your own effort and not at how many blessings God has given you.

Why should we always be busy remembering and thinking about God?
a. We will experience the best enjoyments and it will have great benefits for us too, although this will happen over time.
b. It is only in this case that we will grow and our marvelous talents will flourish, although this will happen over time.
c. We have been created for God, and we will return to Him.

Preparing for the Month of Ramadan: God's Banquet
🔲 The best place to use the ability to control our mind is when praying.
🔲 Your problems will be solved more easily.
👉🏼 #ControllingMyMind (8)
➖People can usually concentrate deeply on a subject for only a moment and they are soon distracted. They do not have the strength to keep #focused on one subject. But if we can control our mind, we will be able to pay careful attention to a good topic for a while. If you can #control your mind, you will not pay attention to worthless things. Imam Ali (as) said, "Increase your worth by not paying attention to worthless affairs." [Tuhaf al-Uqul, p. 224]
➖Many people watch movies and serials on TV. When you ask them, "What effect does this film have on you? What will this information that is entering your mind do to you?" they say, "I don’t know!" The Qur'an says, “One should look at one's own food.” [80:24] This is not just referring to the food one eats [according to the traditions]. A person should pay attention to what he sees, hears, and the information that enters his/her mind.
➖The best place for us to use the ability to control our mind is when praying. The Prophet (s) said, “If a person’s thinking and heart are focused on God during his prayer (and he controls his mind), he will be (pure) like the day when he came into this world when he finishes his prayer.” [Mustadrak al-Wasail, vol. 4, p. 102]
➖Paying attention to God with all one’s heart is something Imam Ali (as) was able to do. If we pay attention to God with even a part of our heart, we will benefit and gain much. Ayatollah Bahjat was asked, “What should we do to be able to pay attention to God when praying?” He said, “Whenever you become distracted, bring your attention back to your prayer again.” Now, if one has a problem, should he think about it when praying? Ayatollah Bahjat said that if you do not think about your problem when praying, you will see that your problem will be solved easier after you prayer.
➖Imam Sadiq (as) said, “There is no believer who pays attention to God with his heart in prayer, other than that God pays attention to him, loves him and causes others to love him too.” [Thawab al-Amaal, p. 135]
