Internal Unrest in context of Sufism

This is a bipolar world. The good is always chased by the evil. So this is something ultimate that when ever some one starts something positive, he does come across such feelings. These are constructive feelings if observed, understood and handled with proper working.

Making things optimistic is always an uphill task. And especially for some one following the Sufi traits, this makes things even worse. Because at that opposing forces are always powerful. This is because of the fact that hurdles have been introduced just for the sake of strength and for getting to the destination. These hurdles are positive, a source of power as stated by Q U Shahab RA.


But at times, internal unrest is so much powerful that one can't even figure it out what all is happening to him in front of and behind the curtain. It drags seeker to such depths of pessimism form where he can never retrieve. But this is actually source of immense power. The power to over come this unrest actually lies in unrest itself. Only thing which makes considerable difference is approach towards these feelings.

Take a break, sit down, calm down, let the feelings get settled, don't even think of coming out of this situation. And have a glass of cold water. Start thinking something you like the most to do. Feel like doing it. Mostly Sufi Babas make best use of these feelings. Just start reciting some Ayath of Quran, some name of Allah, or even best option is recitation of Durood.

Believe me, things will change in coming moments. Unrest would be pushing you ahead. Just give it a try some day....
