Many discomforts bring forth sin in humans! Also, there are some discomforts that are typically sins; therefore, the sinners are to repent.
Now pray, “O, God! I repent for each moment, I haven’t had tranquility!”
According to Imām Alī (pbuh)’s words, “The faithful/ believers enjoy both spiritualties [celestial] and the world [terrestrial], compared to others!” (Nahj al Balāghah, the Letters 27)
Why is that? It’s because, religion teaches the techniques of enjoying the world, through its psychological techniques.
The thing which makes us have high thoughts and opinions, is comfort and tranquility
Let’s ask: Why do humans need this comfort and tranquility? What is its most important use?
Imām Ṣādiq (pbuh) stated,
سَببُ ا لْفِکْرِ الْفَرَاغُ وَ عِمَادُ الْفَرَاغِ الزُّهْد
“The reason for thought is comfort, and the pillar of comfort is asceticism”
(Misbāh al- Sharia ̓ h, 23)
Have you ever felt how enjoyable is thinking? Thinking is one of the important worshipping God by Awliā and scholars/ Elders. But if we have a wrong lifestyle, it doesn’t allow us to think or ponder! [Don’t have the opportunity]
