[Pooya/Ali Commentary 2:152] If you remember Allah, avoiding other than He, you are in the midst of reality. Allah, reality, will reflect the remembrance - if the sincere seeker remembers Allah, Allah remembers him. Forgetfulness can never be attributed to the all-perfect. His remembrance refers to His special favours and bounties bestowed on those who remember Him. To be grateful {shukr) is the key to the fulfilment and application of remembrance which neutralises desires and generates joy of inner contentment - deep and peaceful. The opposite of this condition is Kufr-the falling over hurdles on the road of disobedience.
