The Seeker’s Guide
          of today use the language of earlier times, the minds of
          the addressee would not be addressed. This is a matter of
          communication gap. According to the Quran:

                  Speak to them in such terms as will address
                  their minds. (Quran 4:63)

          My experience is that if we talk to them in such a language
          that addresses them, then they do understand. Otherwise
          they will remain indifferent. So, it is an issue of the right
          kind of communication and not of dissatisfaction.






             34   How can we make our mind free
                   of complaints?


             omplaint culture is the most depraved culture. I was
          Conce thinking that my body has 78 organs that are
          ensuring its full functioning. All this is not based on my
          instruction, it is rather automatic. If I had to manage it
          myself, I would not have been alive! There are numerous
          such things – life support system around us provides us
          with life-giving sustenance. If a person discovers and
          realizes these things, he will begin to think of living
          in complaints as the most degraded plane. How can a
          person who lives in the midst of so many blessings, he
          forget all of this and lead a life of complaints? The most
          effective way to root out complaints is to remember the
          blessings of God, which you receive every moment of
          your existence.
