An Effective Suggestion for Confronting Indolence | Ali Reza Panahian

Gentlemen, honorable people, you are paying attention. I want to do something big now. A big event, a very clear duty. In discussing the topic “The Only Path,” some friends kept saying, “Tell us a specific duty. What should we do? You’re just trying to convince us.” Now I want to tell you a specific duty. In discussing the “The Only Path,” it was said that indolence is the beginning of a person’s miseries, and confronting this is very useful in a person’s life. I think you will be very happy when I tell you, my friends and honorable people, this very specific suggestion! We won’t feel uncertain anymore and we’ll know what to do. Friends, are you ready? Where should we confront our indolence? You don’t seem to be very happy!? What I want to tell you is not something you are forced to do from tomorrow. You don’t have to listen to me. Don’t worry! My suggestion is very clear. The first one is waking up at dawn. Get up from your sweet sleep in the early morning. Pull yourself out of your bed. One may say, “You’ve mentioned the main point! I wish you’d introduced one thousand other ways but not this one!” This is a very clear suggestion. [One says,] “This was very mystical!” No, it’s not that mystical. The way of the mystics is to sleep after each two cycles of the Midnight Prayer and wake up again [like the Prophet (s)]. Imam Khomeini prayed like this, but you don’t have to be like him! Nonetheless, if you want to have a healthy life, avoid indolence and fight with your indolence. At least do this.Ayatollah Bahjat said, “The hardest thing is to wake up for the Midnight Prayer.” Religiosity is easy. If you sleep early and eat a light dinner, you will wake up early. You won’t have any choice! Some of the Friends of God used to say, “When you wake up, if you weren’t in the mood to pray, just drink a cup of tea or study!” What secret is hidden in this waking up at dawn?Where should we confront our indolence? My suggestion is very clear. Get up from your sweet sleep in the early morning.
