Transformation is painful and necessary.
All things are born into perfection in this universe. Our bodies function exactly as they are supposed to. Natural systems keep themselves in balance. There is a necessity involved in even the most painful experience.
If it were the easiest thing to fulfill the will of the Creator, we would all do it. It would not even be a choice. Instead, Allah demands that we make decisions which are not easy. These decisions often are painful but are incredibly necessary. The reason they are necessary is because in order to transform ourselves from selfish creatures concerned only with ourselves into enlightened beings that are concerned with the good of the totality, we must put ourselves into situations that are not simply selfish and of the greatest benefit to ourselves.
Corporate CEO’s may think they are pulling a fast one on us when they give themselves multi-million dollar bonuses, but if they were to put that money in the hands of the stock holders or to reinvest it into creating a company that is better for everyone, they would certainly find themselves more fulfilled than when they sit on a luxury yacht isolated from the source of all reality.
