A youth asked Ayatollah Bahjat:
Prescribe for us a "zekr" as we have traveled from Isfahan.
Reply: "Isfahan, Mazandaran, or Khorasan, doesn't matter (where you come from or where you are), that the greatest "zekr" is what I am about to tell you.
It is to make a decision that if God bestowed you even one hundred years of life, you will not even for a second commit sin knowingly, seriously, and with choice. This is the greatest "zekr". However it is practical.
If all of us focus on this "zekr" all of us will be inhabitants of paradise with the grace of God, (that is) if we are consistent on this practice.
And being consistent (means) it should start, when it starts it will be with consistency.
Why? because God's subtle Grace is greater.
الحديث مروي عن أبي ذر عليه السلام عن النبي صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم فيما يرويه عن ربه عز وجل، قال: «إذا تقرب العبد إليّ شبراً تقربت إليه ذراعاً، وإذا تقرب إليّ ذراعاً تقربت منه باعاً، وإذا أتاني يمشي أتيته هرولة
It's narrated from Abudhar (peace be with him) from God's last prophet Mohammad (peace be with him and his progeny) said:
God Almighty said: when my servant comes to me a little bit (from thumb to the pinky finger) I come to him one step (from fingertips to the elbow). And if he comes to me one step I come closer. If he comes (more) close to me (than that), I'll come and faster join him.
