Building Life

English book, p. 204

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Identify the spot where you can easily make a way for yourself. Starting from that point allows you to create more opportunities later on. The same principle applies to all human efforts. Every task has a beginning and an end. It’s important to understand the difference between them. Starting from the initial point allows one to reach the intended goal. However, if someone tries to begin at the endpoint of a plan, they will go nowhere, no matter how long they keep trying in the name of action—this is the law God has set for this world. Knowing the endpoint of action is enthusiasm. Knowing the starting point of action is wisdom. PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES One principle of nature is caution. Based on this principle, precautionary measures are taken in various areas of life. Often, if these measures are implemented early, potential accidents can be avoided. For example, hernia is a medical condition. When someone develops this condition, it becomes necessary to go to the operating room. However, taking preventive steps for this condition can nearly eliminate its occurrence. One such step is wearing specific underwear. Hernia does not happen suddenly; its early symptoms appear well in advance. If a person begins wearing the specific underwear as soon as the initial symptoms show, they can prevent developing this disease.
