ADJUSTMENT: A GOLDEN PRINCIPLE — Save Yourself

based on the natural rule: ‘Save yourself’. When you are not in the position to change others, change yourself. It is this behaviour that is called adjustment. Adjustment appears to be a behaviour that you adopt towards someone else, but in fact it is for your own self. One of the teachings of the Quran is mentioned in these words: As-sulh khair, that is, “Reconciliation is best” (THE QURAN 4: 128). Reconciliation is only another name for adjustment. This Quranic verse refers to a law of nature, according to which, reconciliation is the best way of life. When you face any kind of difference with the other party, do not adopt the way of confrontation, but, adopt the way of adjustment. This is best for you in terms of the results. By adopting this principle, you will reach your goal without any delay. Be practical: do not waste your time and energy. Adopt the way of adjustment and ensure success. o Great Works Those who are destined to perform great deeds in life are those who do not seek any reward for what they have done; the very fact that they have done something is sufficient reward for them. The knowledge that they have played their part is enough to make them content, even more so than those who have been abundantly rewarded for their efforts.
