The Humiliation of Keenness
The most humiliating thing is the keenness to have pleasures in this world,
being keen does not increase the means of sustenance, the one who is keen is
always tired, the keen one is the prisoner of his keenness, keenness is a form
of humiliation and languish, it is just like the silk worm, the more it turns
around itself, the more its emergence is difficult in which case it dies while
doing so, the keen one is deprived of satisfaction, comfort and sureness, the
keen one is poor even if he owns the whole world “if you want from this world
what is sufficient for you, then the least will be enough for you, but if you
want more and more, then all the this world will not be enough for you”,
keenness belittles the man, it doesn’t increase the means of sustenance because
this is destined by Allah and death will come as doomed by Allah.
