📷 Soundwaves are like the waves on the sea
Listening to soundwaves is like surrendering yourself to the waves on the sea. Sometimes one wave can drown a person and another wave can take a person to the heights. At times one wave brings a person to the beach, but another wave takes the person from the beach to the bottom of the sea. A person cannot say that he is only a listener in the face of the tremendous waves of the sea (that so greatly affect him.)

📕 Why should God’s Greatness be engraved on our heart?
📌 A person won’t obey God’s commands in the correct way until the Greatness of God enters his heart.
📌 Whatever I do, I can’t abandon sinning. What should I do?!
(We previously said in the last section that one of the important functions of a good prayer is for God’s Greatness to enter our heart.)
💠 Why should God’s Greatness be engraved on our heart? One reason is that a person won’t obey God’s commands in the correct way until the Greatness of God enters his heart. For example, whenever he is in a good mood, he will obey Him. And, whenever he isn’t in a good mood, he won’t obey Him!
Some people ask:
- Sir, whatever I do, I can’t abandon sinning. What should I do?!
- Abandon sinning because of God.
- I can’t abandon sinning because of God either.
- This shows that you are not afraid of God very much. This shows that God is not Great in your eyes for you to obey God’s commands due to His Greatness.
💠 If God’s Greatness is engraved on our spirit, this will bring many results and blessings. Other than causing us to obey God and do His commands correctly and accurately, understanding God’s Greatness has other effects and blessings, which we will present in the following sections.

📷 Which people will not be attracted to what is right?
Right and wrong each have their own special magnetic attraction, which attracts their own people. In order to be attracted to what is right, one should deserve to be with it in the same way that those who are attracted to the wrong deserve to be with what is wrong. Deserving to be with what is right or wrong depends on our behaviour. For example, selfish people will not be attracted to what is right very much.

📷 The Best Factor for Gaining Insight
Being patient is the best factor for gaining insight. Maybe that is why “Sabara” (being patient) and “Basara” (seeing) are composed of the same letters. Since a hasty person does not have a good understanding, he is not able to behave well.

📷 God will not abandon us.
God loves His own creation, especially the human being whom He has generously created. He will not abandon us until He takes us to the highest point of perfection, which is being close to Him.

📷 Calmness
Our need for calmness is much more than what we think and try to gain. When we are calm, we are able to make our talents flourish and actuate our inner strengths. However, we have become accustomed to uneasiness to the extent that many factors, which bring harmful excitement and cause unrest in us, entertain us.

📷 Let us accept this limitation
There are many limiting factors in this world. But if you put God’s commands as the factor that limits your behaviour, many limitations will be removed.

📕 What is the way to gain true love of God?
📌 This is a method, which you are probably hearing for the first time!
📌 Why haven’t we heard about this method before?
💠 Is it necessary for us to feel the Greatness of God in our hearts or not? If I ask, “Is it necessary for us to fall in love with God?” everyone confirms this willingly. But, if I ask, “Is it necessary for us to feel the Greatness of God in our heart?” some people will start thinking about it and say, “Sir, what you mean by all of your discussions, conversations and speeches is that in the end we should fall in love with God, sacrifice ourselves for Him, become His, and listen to Him. It is natural for us to go in that direction. But, what is this discussion of ‘God’s Greatness’ for?!”
💠 Many people don’t know that the path, which they have to pass along in order to reach to the “house of God’s love,” is a pathway in which the feeling of God’s Greatness should first become engraved on their heart. On whoever’s heart God’s Greatness becomes engraved, he will gain a love and fondness towards God, which others only talk about.
💠 Do you know why you love Ali bin Abi Talib this much? Because, you are aware of Ali’s (‘a) Dhulfaqar (sword), his anger, and his grandeur. Why do you like Qamar Bani Hashim, Aba al-Fazl al-Abbas (‘a), more than all the other martyrs of Karbala? It is because of his strength, his grandeur, and his protecting the flag in battle more than others. This intensity of our interest in Hazrat Abbas (‘s) appears in our hearts after the intensity of his greatness and grandeur.
💠 There is a supplication, which we read after each ritual prayer during the month of Ramadan, and almost everyone has memorised it. The first sentences are these, “O the One Who is Sublime. O the One Who is Great.” Then it continues, “O the One Who is Forgiving. O the One Who is Merciful.” First it talks about God’s Greatness, then it talks about God’s Mercy. If anyone wants to enjoy “O the One Who is Forgiving. O the One Who is Merciful,” he must first understand “O the one Who is Sublime. O the One Who is Great.”
💠 If God is kind to us and if God grants us what we ask for, we will understand that God is “Forgiving” and “Merciful.” But, what should the Almighty God do for us to understand that He is really Great?
💠 Do you want to wait until the Day of Judgment to see God’s Greatness there? This is the place about which a supplication says, “O the One Whose Grandeur will be recognized when He evaluates His servant’s deeds.” Do you want to understand this there? How can one understand God’s Greatness in this world? With a “good prayer”!

📷 Struggle by Force or by Choice?
If we do not struggle by our own choice and because of God with our will, we will be forced to fight with our own will without it being for God. But this will be much more bitter and useless, due to the problems that will come up for a person. This is the law of life. Therefore, it is better if from the beginning we fight with our own will in accordance with the laws of religion.
