However...

However, here he will cause problems and troubles to the extent that Man had sinned in his earthly lie. As the Prophet had said "I too had this Satan but he embraced Islam on my hands. The gist of this is that human being has his carnal and material desires from birth and no man is an exception. If he gives in to these and errs, he will subsequently regret, feel remorseful and consequently suffer. The successful one is he who is so firm of mind that he always overpowers his desires.

The ideal being was Holy Prophet (S.A.) who had completely vanquished and triumphed over desires.) I asked him "It we come to a diversion will you know which route to take? He replied in the negative. I then asked, "I am thirsty. Is there any water nearby?" He replied "I don't know. I asked, "Is our destination near?" He again said, "I don't knows I said "Intelligence and wisdom go hand in hand with existence.

How is it that you do not know any thing?" He said "I only know that I have been at your side ever since you were born. I have never separated tram you except when Allah has especially favoured you and you yourself have separated from me." I soliloquised "Then this must be the Satan who used to mislead me in the world and on whose beckoning I used to sin. And even now he is not leaving me alone. This is indeed the height of enmity.

Allah, Oh Allah, have mercy He kept following me, couple of paces behind. The road was uphill and steep and it was difficult going. At last I reached the top. I was tired, and so sat down to rest for awhile. Ignorance sat down beside me and said "You seem to be tired. Do you want to know a short cut which will shorten your travel to only a fifth?" I replied "'Inspite of your ignorance it seems that' can pull miracles." He said "It's not that. Come here, I'll show you.

See this road on which you are travelling, though it's bright is bent like a bow and is not less than 5 Km. The chord joining the two points of the arc is no more than one kilometre. "Geometrically, an arc whether small or big is always bigger than its chord. So we leave this popular road and instead take to the lesser known path it'll be a short cut and no longer than 1 kilometre instead of five. Surely it's wiser to take the short cut." I replied, "Don't be stupid.

Don't you know that these highways are a result of the route being popular and constantly traversed. The people who chose ft weren't senseless.
