Build a Strong Shield against Constant Bombardment
Framework of Issues
On the question of cultivating purified and viable heart-specific behavior, a self needs to be protected against the ever-occurring bombardment which continue to take place from two fronts; first is the attraction and charms of the word around and second is the devil hiding under these charms and attractions, turning them into falls and fatalistic for humanity.
Another issue is to trace out your hidden enemy continuously bombarding your heart from different directions with multiple faces—under the covers posing threats to what remains cherished to you—as if all those things upon which you view or perceive your standing in the world rests will continue to lose, if tis and this doesn’t happen. By such bombardments, devil sows the seeds of looming pessimism which makes you perceive that you are alone and no one will help you unless you are able to amass lot of power and wealth by holding on to the material resources which devil actually uses to disentangle you in its web. So a big issue is to get rid of the looming pessimism produced by the constant bombardment of the devil regarding the different uncertainties of human life. Actually, these uncertainties of human life are there to make human beings turn to God and to trust on God. But as soon as human beings turn away from God, they allow devil to enter in their life which use these ‘uncertainties’ to cheat them and never allows them to move away from its web by generating a looming pessimism—the fire of which as devil shows them can only be extinguished by the possession of worldly resources—power and wealth.
Exercise
Analyze your behavior and note down the moment when you slipped from your monotheism—deviation occurs due to greed, dreams, desires, fairs etc.
Though you know it, as have already been practice in these. But, this time, analyze more deeply trying hard to reach at the crux of the issue
The problem resides as the part of your core-self—still you have not been able to crush out the attraction or the joy attached with the things which you once thought that you were cutting them off as the part of your dreams, desires, greed, fair etc. But this not a thing to be afraid of or to be pessimistic. This is what may be noted in the Holy Quran on different occasions when Muslims were seeking for their salvation: For example, in the chapter Abbus, not at all, you haven’t still fulfilled for what you were commanded (80:23). The same may be noted in the long description in chapter Alay Imran (3:149-180) mentioning the defeat in the battlefield of Oha. It appears as if God like an expert but a loving Master is instructing His disciples by boasting up their confidence and capabilities on each step to engage in what and what and to refrain from what and what.
Actually, to analyze further, this fair occur because you did not pay due intention to change the fix position of your mind regarding the achievement of your dream, desires etc.
So there still need for you to go through further training which can help you to change your fix mind set or fixed position on the issues coming across in the different situation of daily life
