Deliverance from feelings of spiritual sluggishness is achieved by remembering Allah's companionship and His help for whoever desires to draw closer to Him, by fleeing to Him, by sincerely and truthfully asking Him for success, by accompanying good people, by studying the biographies of the righteous, by persistent striving, by sincere seeking, and by complete devotion to Allah the Almighty. Whenever a servant is truthful and strives against his own self, the path becomes easy for him and becomes a source of comfort.
