In the country it is God who reveals the Divine Being to us, but in the city it is humanity who must work to attain satisfaction. And it is the work that should bring satisfaction. By practicing Darood, by praising the name of God, one can bring beauty and love into waste places and darkness, but beauty and love appear naturally in the fields, forests, and meadows.
