The article explores the profound human condition of spiritual turmoil, highlighted during a segment of the show "The Wise Said". This episode reflects upon the spiritual complexities using texts from notable figures such as Abu Yazid al-Bistami, Ibn al-Qayyim, and Al-Ghazali, emphasizing the need for genuine intention and the conditions for authentic spiritual attainment. Abu Yazid's sentiments reveal his feelings of inadequacy among worshippers, leading to the pivotal call to 'free yourself and come', which encapsulates the essence of the struggle where the self is often the greatest hindrance in one's spiritual journey. Furthermore, the piece draws on perspectives from literary figures like Leo Tolstoy, who linked faith to the sensation of true life, questioning the absence of certainty in the heart, and reflecting on the thoughts of the late Egyptian thinker Mustafa Mahmoud, who remarked on the diminution of instinctive awareness in contemporary society, drowned out by the arrogance of reason.
