Leading A Spiritual Life

English book, p. 40

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

What is the solution to this problem? Two options present themselves. The first is to enter a profession that will last for a lifetime, and in which the careerist can have job satisfaction. The second option is to start a new life immediately after retirement – a life of his own choosing. He should then spend his time on study and healthy activities, in the course of which he should do his utmost to realize his full potential. The Importance of the Seeking Spirit One who does not possess the seeking spirit, is spiritualy blind: he is unable to see spiritual things, even if they exist al around him. D iscovery starts with seeking. If you are a seeker, you are bound to reach your goal. This is a law of nature and, as such, is immutable. It is impossible for anyone who is imbued with the questing spirit not to achieve his goal. Indeed, this is a divine law, which was expressed thus by Jesus Christ: ‘Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you.’ (Matthew 7:7) Conversely, it is impossible for anyone to make a discovery without being possessed of a questing spirit.
