At times, this is how Allah frees us

This is a great piece on Mystic Saint about how we lose sight of what’s important. How we stop being led by our spirit. I would even go a bit further and say that we’ve also stopped depending on Mama Earth. She gives, we take and never thank. 

Allah gives us gifts. But then we often become dependent on those gifts, instead of Him. When He gives us money, we depend on the money - not Him. When He gives us people, we depend on people - not Him.

When He gives us status or power, we depend on, and become distracted by these things. When Allah gives us health, we become deceived. We think we will never die.
