There exists outside of what we are saying a world for you to seek. This world and its pleasure are allotted to man's animal nature; they are fodder for his animality. The principal thing in man is in decline. Man is called a rational animal therefore, he is two things.
What feeds his animality in this world is:
- passion and - desire.
But the food for his essential part is:
- knowledge,- wisdom and the
- vision of God.
Man's animal nature avoids the Real,
and his human nature flies from this world.
"One of you is an unbeliever,
and another of you is a believer." (Quran 64:2)
There are two personae in conflict in this being.
"With whom shall luck be?
Whom shall fortune favor?"
- Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi in his 12th discourse in Fihi ma Fihi
