FROM THE SPIRITUAL TREE

Who dare rebel against God when He appears before man? Everyone will submit to Him then. But the only creditable submission of God is that which comes before He makes Himself manifest. Unbelievers will bow to God when He reveals Himself before them. But a believer bows to Him while He is still invisible. The only reason that people rebel against God is that He is not now present before them. But how can one rebel against Him when He manifests Himself in all His might? Man is cowed into submission before a lion. How then can he dare otherwise when he comes face to face with God, the Creator of the lion? The truth is that a believer experiences in this world what an unbeliever will experience in the next world. An unbeliever will humble himself on seeing God: a believer does so without seeing Him. o Patience The benefit of patience and tolerance is that even after suffering losses, the bereft one does not lose his balance. Inspite of temporary defeat, he never loses the ability to think cool mindedly and by making a realistic assessment of his situation, plans his life anew. By forgetting what is lost, he reorganizes his work. Unbelievers will bow to God when He reveals Himself before them. But a believer bows to God while He is still invisible.
