The Complex-free Soul

A complex-free soul is one who accepts God’s scheme: in
return God will accept him and reward him with eternal Paradise.
A complex-free soul does not mean a soul without complexes.
A complex-free soul is one who is able to deal with all kind of
adversity. A complex-free soul exhibits the capacity to manage
things rather than the capacity to eliminate them.
The ‘management of odds’ is not simply the management
of unwanted situations. It is more than that. There are always
untoward factors in the external world but the art of their
management is a function of the mind. It is the mind that, by its
internal exercises, can manage all external factors.

This means that all those external problems have their plus
points. That is, they can serve as food for the mind, but only if
you prove to have that kind of mind which has developed the art
of difference management.

A complex-free soul is one who accepts God’s scheme:
in return God will accept him and reward him with
eternal Paradise.

A prejudiced mind is the opposite of the complex-free soul.
Manage the intellectual problems, make yourself free of all kinds
of prejudices and then you will become a complex-free soul. A
complex-free soul is the highest state according to Quranic ethics
and the way to achieve this elevated state is to keep your mind
positive at all costs.
