for the Truth. People go through all of these above-mentioned experiences in an unclear, ambiguous manner before they obtain knowledge of the Truth through the Prophet. Later, when a person comes to know about the Prophet’s message, it becomes the voice of his intrinsic nature. He finds the wordless indications that are hidden inside him in the language of words. The Quran and the reader of the Quran become counterparts of each other. The Quran becomes him, as it were, and he, as it were, becomes the Quran. The Importance of Gratitude P eople are generally not content with what they have. Instead, they run after what they do not have. Because of this mentality, everyone is leading a life that is rife with discontent. Someone who appears to be very fortunate, someone whom others envy, is actually as discontented as those who envy him. Everyone has received some or the other blessing. But if a person lacks gratitude, he will be constantly attracted to what he does not have, while considering the blessings that he does have to be of no value. In such a case, he cannot experience gratitude to God. He is denied the most important thing that he should nourish in his heart. God has made this world in such a way that here complete comfort and ease are not possible for anyone. If you run away from a place because of some problem there and go to another place, you will soon discover that there, too, problems exist.
