The Inner Journey

Beauty is virture and virture is beautiful.Love is the highest and most beautiful virture.There is a saying of the Prophet:"If love had a material face, it would be the most beatiful creature".

Once Ali was asked,"What is the nafs?Which one you are talking about?"In Arabic, the nafs al-ammara is the imperious self,the one that commands.Then you have nafs al-lawwama.That is the one that scolds ou,tells you that is not right.And then there's nafs al-mulhima,the one that inspires you.The nafs al-mutma'inna gives you certainty and peace.The highest,nafs an-natiqa,means the divine soul,the breath of God.
