Navigating Through Life Storms
God creates everything with for a reason, for good. It would be a grave mistake to think about the past and then get sad. God has created the past auspiciously and it is already done. One would live the same destiny every single time even if he is sent to this world for a thousand times. People would not remember anything negative about their past in Heaven. Once a believer targets the good pleasure of God, he would not attach any importance to the past. A believer should put his trust in God and keep his heart at ease.
Everything that is detached from God would cause distress for people. People are not independent beings. They are dependent on destiny. Just as the broadcast of a TV channel is dependent on a certain system and cannot step out of that system, we are also dependent on the system of destiny and it is not possible for us to live a reasonable life without forming a bond with God. We lead a consistent, rational and moderate life when we form a strong connection with God.
Dreams are predestined as well. One cannot have a dream other than what is preordained in destiny. Even a dream one has seen when he was 20 years-old, in 1999 September 21st at 2 am, is defined in his destiny down to the smallest detail. Dreams are necessary for one’s education. One would improve in his dreams and gain experience in dreams.
The result of one’s prayers is simultaneously created with the prayer itself. It would be wrong to think that one would first pray for something and then a change would occur. That prayer and the change it would bring have been created simultaneously an infinity ago.
This world is a transient place for trial. We are watching images on a screen. Getting angry with the images on that screen would be very humiliating. Just as one would not get angry with the movie he watches, it is not acceptable to get angry with the details of the images that you call your life as you are watching it in front of that screen. Getting angry would make one a laughing stock.
Being sincere is our sole responsibility. It is as if we are sailing on a boat. No matter what we do on that boat, the boat would sail. Destiny doesn’t change, it goes by as God preordained.
