The fault is on you and you do not know it *** For asceticism is like my Witr prayer

And the lamp of your soul is its attached light*** With all the matter in the universe

The fault is on you and you do not know it *** For asceticism is like my Witr prayer

And the lamp of your soul is its attached light*** With all the matter in the universe

It is one of the recommended positions for the servant as long as it is not revealed to him. If the veil of the eye of his heart is revealed, he does not asceticize, and he should not asceticize, for the servant does not asceticize in what he was created for, and he is not an ascetic except one who asceticizes in what he was created for, and this is not valid, as asceticism is the one who says it. Ignorance in the essence of the truth, because what is not mine I cannot be characterized by asceticism in, and what is mine I cannot separate myself from, so where is the asceticism? Let us say that the author of this ruling is this asceticism that deserves this name, and we have in this ascetic position

The fault is on you and you do not know it *** For asceticism is like my Witr prayer

And the lamp of your soul is its attached light*** With all the matter in the universe
