At-Tazkiyah -

Utilising means other than the dhikr of Allāh ta'ālā to acquire peace of heart is akin to brushing your difficulties under the carpet. The unease, despite being masked, is still there.

It is just like being under anaesthetic; as soon as you ‘wake up’ you will realise that the pain has not gone away.

Shaykh Mawlānā Muhammad Saleem Dhorat hafizahullāh
