🔸A good spiritual frame of mind means…
🔻Crying is not always a sign of having a good spiritual frame of mind. Crying should arise from a #happy heart. A good spiritual frame of mind does not mean being #sad. It means having a series of very deep and meaningful happy rejoicing! We usually turn to worshiping, praying and crying to God when we feel unhappy and problems have overcome us. In fact, when you are full of happiness and vitality, you should pray and worship so that you can thank God.
🔻A good spiritual frame of mind means certitude and not having anxiety! The first step to gain a good spiritual frame of mind is to #trust_in_God. “Remembrance of God certainly brings comfort to all hearts.” (Qur’an 13:28) Become #calm by #remembering_God so that your anxieties will be resolved. Ayatollah Bahjat said, “If we trusted in God as much a child trusts in his or her mother, we would not have any #problems!”
🔻A good spiritual frame of mind means seeing God’s Grandeur and enjoying His Greatness and Glory. “Allahu Akbar” means, “God You are so Great and Glorious!
🔻A good spiritual frame of mind means #enjoying being in God’s embrace, just like children who are pleased when they are among strangers and then go to their parent’s embrace!
🔻A good spiritual frame of mind means tasting the sweetness of remembering God and not tasting the sadness caused by miseries!

🔻Our Sacrifices
🔸The issue of sacrificing started from the beginning of creation. The main argument between Cain and Abel was about their sacrifices being accepted. [Qur’an 5:27] Cain wasn’t an ill-tempered person that he decided to kill his brother. Rather, the important issue of a #sacrifice being accepted or not was involved.
🔸At the end of each period of worshiping, we should think about whether our worshiping has been #accepted or not, for instance Hajj or the month of Ramadan. A deed being accepted is very complicated, and God has made it ambiguous for us whether He has accepted our deeds or not.
🔸Sometimes we must sacrifice our #likings. Prophet #Ibrahim (‘a) had asked for a son from God, God had granted him #Ismail and he liked his son because of God. He wasn’t an ordinary child, but was capable of becoming a prophet. Now, he had to sacrifice his child, and Prophet Ibrahim did so. However, God showed mercy to him and said, “You truly wanted to do this, so it’s enough and accepted.”
🔸Sometimes we must sacrifice one of our #talents. We should not become sad if we are not able to use all our talents or if we are not able to do a great deed, which we had wanted to do. Sometimes these things are our sacrifices. We put effort but if it doesn’t happen, we should say, “Ok God.”
🔸We have #problems in life. Let’s count them to be our sacrifices for God. Let your soul smile and be satisfied with life. You have made a sacrifice in not being able to do something, to show a talent, or you lost an opportunity. Say, “These are my sacrifices.”
🔸Imam Ali (‘a) was the most talented person on earth who could have manifested all his talents. He said, “People, I can get light from this running water for your nights!” [Tasnif Nahj al-Balaghah, p. 782] They did not allow him to manifest his talents.
🔸If a person gives a sacrifice and it’s accepted, he will enjoy spiritually very much, not a selfish but a loving enjoyment. The #vitality and happiness that comes from giving a sacrifice is so great that we have an #Eid for giving a sacrifice called “Eid al-Adha.”
🌱Congratulations on Eid al-Adha to everyone!
