📷 The Effects of Suffering
Tribulations and trials are for a person’s talents to grow and his/her weak and strong points to become manifested. This is true even if these tribulations have come about due to our sins or mistakes. It’s in the midst of hardships that one can think and gain self-knowledge. Other benefits that come from tolerating hardships include: purification of the soul, growth in wisdom and correction of behavior. This is especially true if we are patient and satisfied in hardships and do not complain. We should believe in the benefits that come to us in our sufferings.

🔲 Controlling our mind is the most important drill we must practice to increase our spiritual power.
👉🏼 #ControllingMyMind (1)
➖ Overall, human beings have two types of #behaviors: outward behaviors, which are done by our limbs, like giving charity, and inward behaviors, like what we think about, pay attention to or love. Although outward behaviors are very important, the most important good and bad behaviors are inward behaviors.
➖ Inward behaviors are two types: behaviors mostly related to our #feelings and emotions, which are very difficult to control, and behaviors related to our #thoughts and understanding, which are easier to control. Controlling behaviors related to emotions can mostly be done by controlling our thoughts. This power that one uses to control his/her own mind is the greatest power one has.
➖ In the same way that people strengthen their muscles by doing physical exercise, the most important exercise for strengthening the faculties of the soul is controlling our mind. This is truly a kind of exercise! In many Martial Arts, physical and mental exercises are carried out together, and they greatly emphasize on focusing. Contrary to this, in the western culture, which is full of debauchery, controlling one’s mind is not emphasized. Rather, absolute passivity is instilled in people.
➖ A person can control his mind when sleeping or even control his sleeping itself. Religion asks us to gain this power. When we talk about spiritual power and control, we usually mean controlling our #mind, because human beings are not able to control their hearts very much. If you want to like something, you cannot force your heart by saying, “Like this!” Therefore, religious teachings about controlling ourselves are in fact about controlling our minds.
➖ There are factors in people’s lifestyles, which prevent them from having control over their minds. Leisure time and entertainments have increased in life. Our attention is constantly being drawn to entertainments such as the TV, mobiles, and social networks. And when others constantly pull your attention here and there, you gradually lose control of your mind.

📷 Sweeter Than Being a Beloved
Receiving kindness is sweet; however, being kind to others is sweeter. Being a beloved is sweet; however, showing affection is sweeter. Some people prefer to receive kindness rather than being kind to others. This is a type of unkindness in itself.

🔸 #tweet | Jesus's (as) birth is blessed, and even more blessed is his return. He, along with God's Friends, will fill the world with justice.
On that day, there will no longer be any criminal capitalists, or mass media and artists who betray humankind, or the politicians who support them.

📷 The Sound of the Passing of Time
The passing of time is very formidable. But we human beings use entertainments to forget this unavoidable moving forward in time. The sound of the continuous passing of time can awaken everyone. But we human beings try to avoid hearing it. The passing of time brings the message that all the opportunities that are created in the world will come to an end.

🔸 #Tweet | If our Commander’s departure hasn’t made us long for martyrdom, it hasn’t affected us the way it should. Imam Husayn (as) was a leader, but he longed for martyrdom when he heard of his companions’ martyrdom.
Our Commander left; see how we should feel if we’re sincere soldiers.

🔸 #Tweet | If the US understood the logic of martyrdom, it wouldn’t have martyred Soleimani. Of course, if they understood, they wouldn’t violate the rights of nations. Those who direct the US don’t have insight or foresight. The US has accelerated its collapse by martyring this Commander.
