==============================

Why did God create me? For which enjoyments? How does He want to overwhelm me? Has He made me in a way that I want to be overwhelmed, but He doesn’t overwhelm me? God is the creator of enjoyments. Is He Himself less enjoyable than His creatures? What does God want for me? Will He be satisfied with less than Himself for me? Has He created you to bother you or for you to benefit, so that when you prostrate you say, “God, I am greatly thankful to You”? Hasn’t God created you and me to fall in love? What does God want me to fall in love with? Is God indifferent about me?
He says in Chapter Rum, “Have they never thought about themselves?” [30:8] Don’t they spend time alone to think about themselves? Think about what? It tells us what to think about. “…that Allah did not create the heavens and the earth and all that is between them except with truth…” Don’t they think about themselves that God has not created them in vain? “…and for a stated term…” What was His goal? Think about it. It doesn’t explain the goal. “…a stated term…” See the true end after these have finished. See that ending point. “Yet most people disbelieve that they will ever meet their Lord.” Why? Because they don’t think.
A person told the Prophet(s), “I helped you in the desert.” The Prophet (s) said, “Ask me for something and I will give it to you.” He said, “So let me think.” He left, thought, and came back. He said, “I want to be at your level in Heaven.” He said the ultimate peak! The Prophet (s) asked him, “Did you think of this yourself or someone helped you?” If he had said someone helped him, the Prophet (s) wouldn’t have accepted it from him. The man replied, “I thought of it myself.” The Prophet asked him to explain. He replied, “I thought that this world will finish and whatever I ask you for will be eliminated. In the Hereafter, no position will be higher than yours. I want that. If it existed, it would have been yours. So there is no request higher than being at your level [in the Hereafter].” The Prophet (s) said, “Ok, I’ll take you.” Because he had thought about it.
Someone asked me, “Is it good to listen to many speeches?” I said, “No, not at all! So when do you yourself want to think?” Even if you were with the Commander of the Faithful, Ali (as), leave him and spend time to think yourself. After thinking, you will come to a result. You’ll see that the most valuable goal for you is to meet God in the best form. This will be the ultimate goal of your life. Think and come to this point where you say, “I have one goal in life. I want to get close to God. Nothing else is valuable to me. I only want to get close to You!” If you think some more, other things will happen. This will become your only goal.
