"Alas! Alas! O lovers of worldly desire! Even as the swiftness of lightning ye passed by the Beloved One, and have set your hearts on satanic fancies. Ye bow the knee before your vain imagining, and call it truth." (Hwp 38) (54:5) "The natural emotions are blameworthy and are like rust, and deprive the heart from the bounties of God." "Thou seest, O my Lord, how Thy servants are held captive by their own... selves and desires." (SofW Vol 7 p116; Bwf 73)
(54:6)
