Do you really know who you are?

Do you ever consider on what basis you know yourself?

Through what titles, roles, accomplishments, traits, possessions?

What do you define your existence through?

Who are you inside, truly?

Where does your mind go?

What things do you think about on your own?

What types of battles do you fight?

How do you fare when you struggle against your self?

When the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was asked, "what is the greatest battle?" He replied, "the greatest battle is the one you fight against yourself".

How do you feed your ego?

What are you feeding your soul?

How have you cared for you heart?

How has your spirit fared?

The struggle against the self is said to be a constant battle against "enemies hosted inside ones own existence". Against the ego.

Those who feel 'guilt' need not fear, as this is a sign of awakening towards spiritual ascension.

Start with your intention, and work towards increasing your knowledge in an effort to purge your ego, cleanse your heart and feed your soul.

“The body is purified by water, Self (nafs) is purified by tears, intellect is purified by knowledge, and the soul is purified with love” (Imam Ali)
