Lesson one hundred twelve :Beware of sensuality

Imam Sadegh( A. S. )says:

إحْذَرُوا اهْوائَكُمْ كَما تَحْذَرُونَ أَعْدائَكُمْ فَلَيْسَ شَىْ‌ءٌ أَعْدى لِلرَّجالِ مِنْ إِتِّباعِ أَهْوائِهِمْ وَ حَصائِدِ الْسِنَتِهِمْ‌

Translation

Beware of sensual desires as you take care of your( obstinate )enemies because nothing is more enemy with man than following sensual desires and the outcomes of his tongue!.

Brief description

Undoubtedly, inward enemies are more dangerous than outward enemies. Therefore, obstinate desires which affect man inwardly, are considered as the most dangerous enemy for man.

Sensuality blinds and deafens man's eye and ear.

It removes the light of wisdom, alternates the face of truths and finally leads him to the precipice of corruption.
