The secret to destressing is said to be in following some techniques, exercises and thoughtless meditation. All these are unnatural methods. They won’t help in any way. The formula given in the Quran is: أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ (13.28) Surely in the remembrance of God hearts can find comfort. Comfort means to be stress-free. If you want to be stress-free, remember God. What is the meaning of remembering God? It isn’t chanting God’s name. Remembering God means living with God. Living with God doesn’t mean that God is physically present everywhere. Rather it means He is present everywhere with His attributes. For example, take the sun. The sun is 9 crore 30 lakh miles away from us. But the sun's light and heat are present on earth. The sun is with us because of its light and heat, although physically it is 9 crore 30 lakh miles away.

Living with God doesn’t mean living physically with God. Rather, it means we are surrounded by God's blessings and His attributes. We must live with thoughts of them. The world is trying to search for the secret of being stress free in man-made bounties, but this secret is in God-made bounties. Man-made bounties are always limited. They can never be unlimited. If a person has an ordinary house, he will make a larger home to fulfil his aspirations. Those who have big houses may have been happy at the time of building their homes, but after they begin to live in their homes, they have no happiness.
