THE LESSON OF A TREE🥦

Take a look at a tree. Its trunk is firm and solid, but its leaves, fruits, and flowers are weak and impermanent. Yet the beauty of its leaves, the colorfulness of its flowers, and the delicacy of its fruits show that these less substantial parts of the tree deserve greater attention from nature than the stronger parts. It seems as if the trunk and the branches were created to bring into existing flowers and fruits.

tense the fragile masterpieces of creation called leaves,

This is a sign of God, showing man what his Lord requires of him, and what he should do to make the tree of his life blossom. A tree shows a man that he should see the meaning of things beneath the surface. he should not be overly impressed by outward strength. People who adopt this attitude to life will be admitted into paradise.

Man worships stone and ignores truth. He is polite and humane towards the mighty and looks down with disdain on those towards whom God would really like him to be polite and humane. He is charitable for the sake of fame and withholds charity when there is no fame to be gained, though that is the only charity acceptable to God.


BELONGING TO THE NEXT WORLD 🗺


Heaven belongs to those who long for it. For one who really longs for heaven, everything else seems insignificant in comparison. Things in the world lose their value.

Eternal matters become so important in his sight that worldly matters pale into insignificance.

When does one really belong to the next world? When one is so absorbed in thoughts of the hereafter one tends to forget worldly matters. When one is so concerned with eternity one forgets earthly concerns. When one is so preoccupied with thoughts of eternal content and torment one's position in the world ceases to seem important. When one is so drawn towards life everlasting one seems to be neglectful of the present world.

When one's concentration is so fixed on sublime realities that one lives in this world but is not of it. When the sight of worldly luxury only makes one wonder what will befall one in eternity. When affliction males one cries out, "Lord, I cannot bear worldly torment; how will I be able to withstand the torments of the next world." When one neither derives satisfaction from the pleasures of this world nor is affected by worldly difficulties.

Only when all of these conditions are fulfilled can one truly be said to have faith in the life to come? For such fortunate souls,🌳🌴 God will throw wide the gates of heaven.
