[ People are four in what they take and in what they give ]

(Check the original text in Arabic ...)


FUTMAK.COM الفتوحات المكية: الصفحة 588 من الجزء One

Know that people are divided into four categories in what they give and in what they take: a group that magnifies what they give and despises what they take, a group that despises what they give and esteems what they take, a group that despises what they give and take, and a group that magnifies what they give and what they take, and for this reason some of them are selective, and they are the ones who do not see the face of truth in Things, and some of them do not select, and they are the ones who see the truth in things. They may select for the need of the time, or they may not select because they are aware of their absolute poverty. Among them and among them, their views are different, and so are their sights and tastes according to their conditions. The state of the rational soul is like the mood of the animal soul, for the mood is the ruler of the body, and the state is the ruler of the soul.
