Chapter II: Patience and Gratefulness
It is wonderful that when we wise to get wealth of the world, we gather instruments of acquiring it, sow crops, plant trees, do business, embark on seas and oceans and face insurmountable dangers and difficulties. When we wish to acquire learning, we take endless troubles. When God gave us assurance of our provision we do not sit idle on that assurance but say: O God, give us provision. But when we look to the everlasting abode of the next world, we remain satisfied by saying with our tongue: O God, forgive us. We invoke Him on whom we cherish hope but He says: There is nothing for men but what he strives for". "Let them not be deceived by false hope. O man, what has deceived you with regard to your gracious Lord?" These verses even do not awakens and do not take us from the hell of deception. Let us take caution from the above stories and examples and follow the religious paths in the transient world.
