Glorious God loves and helps those who says “God is sufficient” and reacts with patience and understanding to the sorrows and problems of their neighbors. Sometimes Beloved plays with the lover by giving troubles and testing their loyalty in different ways in order to distinguish the true lover from the fake one. He likes pure lovers and He pushes away those who fly to wherever the wind blows. To Him patience is the best friend of love. All religious practices are based on patience. A patient follower is patient against the injustices, cruelty and losses he/she faces. He/she is also patient against the satisfaction of his/her enemies by these challenges he/she faces. He/she refuses to react and rise according to the demands of the ego. God lovers should behave the way Prophet Muhammed (s.a.w), Imam Ali, Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi and all enlightened beings would behave under such circumstances. Because their actions are always filled with love, patience, understanding, compassion, humility, sacrifice and generosity. Lets put them in our hearts and try to behave like them as much as we can. Be a human when you see yourself in the mirror, as well as when you take action! We should only make our requests to God. The only thing to be afraid of is ignorance. Because the mind is the biggest treasure of a human being and we should use it to choose the way of developing beautiful habits and behavior.
