From an article written by Su Rahman
Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. QS 13:11
When I was reading the book titled The Science of Getting Rich written by Wallace D. there is a certain part in a book that caught my attention, Wallace says that nothing can replace what's called hard work, although we imagine the gold coin as high as mountains, the gold coin will not necessarily come down and rolling of top of the mountain and down the streets to get into our pockets.
From the part of the book there is a conclusion that Wallace saw most of society is lazy, which is just happy to imagine without working to realize it. If we are lazy in fulfilling the basic necessities of life, then how about achieving something higher, such as peace?
Play around with the law of attraction is exciting, we feel like were in some degree at the level of spiritual journey, how wonderful. But actually if we are honest with ourselves, we are nothing more than a slacker who is very selfish, a selfish, regardless of whether we succeed in science practiced the law of attraction or not.
For the spiritual seeker, laziness is something that most evident, because a lot of actors pursuing more spiritual aspects of what is called 'divinity', so forget the aspect of 'non-god', but as long as there in the world and the body, then the aspect of 'non-god 'is still needed. Is it possible that our meal that we enjoy every day to support the necessities of life come easily just rolling from the mountains and perched at the dinner table?,
No!, All of which we enjoy the present because of an effort.
We are not spiritual seekers if we still cannot earn our living by our own arms and legs. There is something wrong with us. However, mind would give a thousand and one arguments to hide what was to become their laziness. The spiritual seeker is the one which is able to enforce with his own two feet and walk down the world by himself. He is an independent man, one that relies on the potential that has been given by God to be able to meet all their needs in order to fill life with things that are higher.
One day Mullah Nasaruddin given the opportunity to have a dialogue with God because it has been 20 years since Mullah started to chant His name begging a gift from God to be satisfied all the necessities of life, but 20 years passed already, Mullah's sarong has changed 10 times, but life remains unchanged
Feeling sorry for him, God sent His angel to fetch Mullah to have a dialogue with Him, when he got in front of God, Mullah lamented: "O God, how could You did that to me? I've adored you all of 20 years, but Yout haven't given me much for my life, I am still poor"
The Lord sighed, and sipped his coffee. Smiling, the Lord asked, "Mullah, don't you have a beautiful voice?"
"Yes Lord, I always use it to glorify You"
God smiled again, before returned then He ask "Where do you get that beautiful voice?"
Mullah answered definitely, "From You God!
God laughed for a moment, "Then why do not you use it to meet your needs, do not you ever wondered why I gave such melodious voice to you?"
Often we do not realize that there is a huge potential that God has given as our tool to live in this earth, a friend of mine once said sharply saw my laziness "Look at your life, ragged. Is this a manifestation of God seeker?, Is not God All-rich, if you are close to Him at least he is able to make over you btter ".
His words were like lightning, but that's what happened. Often we hide behind the spiritual robe just to cover our laziness itself, this story is the story of my laziness, about our laziness. That we prefer comfort ourselves, playing with fantasy rather than exploring your own potential.
Let's us contemplate His words for us all : Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. QS 13:11
