Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Imam Al-mahdi (as) and Opponents : the Dialectic of Complementarily and Contradiction Trust in God God is the supreme goodness. He never abandons whoever trusts Him.

Although the modern world, with its almost uncontrolled hyperactivity, puts obstacles and difficulties in our way to living and orienting our lives and aspirations to confidence in God, we should know that if we trust Him, everything is possible because it is not the external conditions that impede us from finding God in our lives, but our own mental state of absence of God.

"God will find a way out for those who are mindful of Him, and will provide for them from an unexpected source; God will be enough for those who put their trust in Him.

God achieves his purposes; God has set a due measure for everything."(22) If we do not let God into our lives, if we close our mind to the experience of God, external difficulties will grow, putting ever-increasing obstacles every day to our possible spiritual self-realization and our confidence in God, although we call ourselves believers and count ourselves among those who "officially" comply with their faith in God, but do not really trust Him.

"Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. (23) On the other hand, a person who desires the fullness of God in his life above all will find his obstacles propitiating that divine fullness in his life, and these will be transformed into help received. God Himself sustains and comforts whoever accepts Him in his life with His infinite Love.

"Whoever relieves in his Lord need fear no loss nor injustice." (24) Strength in the face of suffering Suffering is a feeling of deprivation, and, as such, may become a stimulus that helps us advance in self-knowledge. It helps us by showing our limitations, our misery and our deficiencies which, up to that time, have remained hidden amongst our illusions and pleasures. René Guènon, associates the concept of suffering with asceticism.

He speaks of the asceticism that goes by the Sanskrit name of "tapas", meaning "heat". This heat is an inner fire that must burn and destroy everything that constitutes an obstacle to man's spiritual self-realization. "Asceticism" in its deepest sense is the sacrifice of the "ego" carried out for the attainment of superior consciousness.
