Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | Speaking Tree Website | August 25, 2014Stress is not an evil. It is an integral part of nature and a positive activity. Our body needs movement. If there is no physical activity in the body, then it would be rendered lifeless. So is the case with stress. Stress is an intellectual activity. It is a sign of a healthy mind. The only condition is to be intellectually awakened that you are able to treat stress as a normal phenomenon just like physical movement. It is stress that makes your mind alive. Without stress, intellectual processes come to a halt and it would result in intellectual stagnation. [Highlight1] If man is unable to control stress, it would reach an abnormal state that is crippling; this kind of stress is fatal. But if one is able to control stress, it would remain within the non-crippling limits and turn into a boon.In life, you should not try to de-stress. Instead you should learn the art of stress management. Most often, stress is caused due to complaints against another person. Instead of developing a complaint, we must take it easy. Taking it as a complaint would turn it into 'crippling stress.' Taking it normally would turn it into a 'non-crippling stress.' Crippling stress causes problems whereas non-crippling stress keeps the mind active.
