🔻Two Important Strategies for Obtaining a Correct and Accurate Outlook
🔻Following one’s carnal desires and love of this world take away a person’s insight.
👉🏼 Perspective (11)
🔸Another way to obtain a correct #outlook in addition to thinking and using foresight, which were mentioned previously, is to ask God to show truth and falsehood to us! This prayer has been narrated from the Prophet (s), “God, show us the truths of the world the way they are!”
🔸In addition to showing truth and falsehood or good and bad to His servants, God grants another grace too. He shows us that which is better from among all that is good and that which is worse from among all that is bad.
🔸The #excuses, which many bring for having become corrupted, are actually good words! Many use good words for their excuses for backbiting or oppressing others. However, they should have paid attention to other good words, which are even more important. This is similar to those who left religion (Khawarij). They used good words and stood up against Ali (‘a).
🔸In addition to the above technique, which is actually a strategy, another strategy we should use in order to have a correct #perspective is to not obey our #carnal_desires and to oppose them. As soon as we move towards carnal desires and #loving_this_world, our correct and noble outlook will become ruined.
🔸The Commander of the Faithful, Ali (‘a), said, “This world is the furthest point of a blind person’s sight, and he cannot see anything else besides this world. An insightful person is one who has a penetrating outlook. His sight sees the other side, and he understands that there will be a Hereafter. (Nahj al-Balaghah, Sermon 133)
