The worldly people are remiss and mistaken, Imam Khomeini explained

The worldly people, who imagine that they have acquired the world and benefit from its advantages and boons, are remiss and mistaken.

Imam Khomeini sheds light on the subject as following: 

What values does this fleeting and apparently sweet life have (assuming that it is very sweet) in comparison to endless chastisement?

The chastisement of worldly people is sometimes endless. The worldly people, who imagine that they have acquired the world and benefit from its advantages and boons, are remiss and mistaken.

 Everyone sees the world from the window of his own environment and situation, and imagines that the world is exactly that which he has.

The physical world is broader than that which man imagines he has acquired, discovered and through which, he roams.

Imam Khomeini presented several practical and theoretical remedies for curing anger

It has been narrated about this world with all its means and ways that: “He has never looked kindly upon it.”

 So, how must the other world be upon which God, the Blessed and Exalted, has looked kindly? What is the source of greatness to which man is called and what is it like? Man is too low to comprehend the source of greatness, Imam further explained. 

If you purify your intentions, rectify your deeds, expel love of self and position from your hearts, a high station will be prepared for you.

The whole world and what exists will be prepared for you. The whole world and what exists in it along with its superficial aspects is not worth even a cent by comparison to the station prepared for the righteous servants of God. Try to achieve this lofty station.
