Like a Corpse

There are two ways in this world. One is swimming against the current. Another is submitting to the current like a log of wood.

When you swim in the ocean, for how long can you keep striking your arms against the waves? After some time, you will be exhausted and drown.

On the other hand, a corpse cannot be overwhelmed even by large waves. It drifts along with the current. So, become like a corpse. Conduct yourself as a dead person would do, doing your duty but submitting yourself to God’s Will.

When you surrender yourself to the Merciful Lord, with the absolute conviction that He knows what is good for you, then you will not be affected by anything that happens.
