Lesson fifty five :Self sacrificing lovers

Imam Bagher( A. S. )says:

إنَّ أَصْحَابَ جَدِّىَ الْحُسَيْنِ لَمْ يَجِدُوا أَلَمَ مَسِّ الْحَدِيْدِ

Translation

The devoted companions of my grandfather, Imam Hossein( A. S. )did not feel any pain under the strokes of sword and spear of enemy..

Brief description

When man's affection to one goal is in a love stage, specially an excessive love, all of his feelings are concentrated in that point, and thus any inconvenience is tolerable for him. Not only tolerable, but also he does not feel uneasiness. Wherein Egyptian women seeing Joseph's face, based on a figurative transient love, lost their awareness and cut their fingers instead of fruits, it is not surprising that restless lovers in the path of God, and self- sacrificing persons in the path of truth and virtue do not feel pain and toil of heavy strokes of enemy. First, one shall be a lover, then self- sacrifice and tolerance would be the inevitable result.
