IN PURSUIT

October 15, 2008

Tear not thy plumage off it cannot be replaced. Disfigure not thy face in wantonness, O fair one! That face which is bright as the forenoon sun, to disfigure it is a grievous sin. 'Twere paganism to mar such a face as thine! The moon itself would weep to lose sight of it! Knowest thou not the beauty of thine own face? Quit this temper that leads thee to war with thyself! It is the claws of thine own foolish thoughts that in spite wound the face of thy quiet soul.

 

Know such thoughts to be claws fraught with poison, which score deep wounds on the face of thy soul. Rend not thy plumage off, but avert thy heart from it for hostility between them is the law of this [jihad]. Were there no hostility, that [striving] would be impossible. Hadst thou no lust, obedience to the law could not be. Hadst thou no concupiscence there could be no abstinence. Where no antagonist, what need is there of armies?
