Tension between the Heart and Outer Body [Hikam 85]
“Outwardly, creatures are an illusion, but, inwardly, they are an admonition. Thus, the soul looks at the illusory exterior while the heart looks at the admonitory interior” Hikam 85 page 142 from The Book of Wisdoms
The Book Of Wisdoms [Kitab al-Hikam with Ikmal al-Shiyam]
The aphorism explains the constant battle between the differing perspectives of the self ego and the inner heart. The ego wishes to partake in any worldly pleasure, whilst the heart looks beyond immediate pleasure and calls for self restraint.
The Shaykh mentions the importance of self discipline and three ways which will safeguard one from falling prey to the ego.
