Question:
I promise to stop. then my treacherous heart breaks the promise. I can’t do Muraqaba, barely tafakkur (without entering trance), can’t do dhikr cause I begin feeling stuff. Maybe I can pray, but I forbid myself from using any higher faculties, I am beginning to lose my ability to care.. or feel.. What do I DO?
Answer:
Trance and feelings are not higher but lower faculties. Prayer is the highest, and the key to outward and inward improvement.
