The Real Middle Way

Methodological note:.I have come to believe over time in the real Middle Way-that is the way between over-exertion and utter sloth lol.Many paths, including ones I have studied urge murids to do more and more.I have found,through bitter experience, that this does not work.In fact it can be dangerous ,both psychologically and spiritually.Psychologically it can push people into psychosis.And spiritually it can cause people to give up,in discouragement.So my understanding is that”less is more”. That too has its limits.Some people become spiritual slackers waiting for God to do it for them and that is not to be recommended either.So we come back to the necessity of a certain rhythm of effort and repose.We each need to find the rhythm that works best for us.So let observation be your Guide and we make dua that Allah makes your observation more and more precise.Salaams,Ibrahim
