The Letters of Shaikh Al-‘Arab ī Ad-Darq ā w ī translated by Titus Burckhardt Source: Studies in Comparative Religion , Vol. 16, No. 1 & 2 (Winter-Spring, 1984). © World Wisdom, Inc. www.studiesincomparativereligion.com The sickness afflicting your heart, faq ī r , comes from the passions which pass through you; if you were to abandon them and concern yourself with what God ordains for you, your heart would not suffer as it suffers now.
