The speaker discusses the capacity for desire and hunting, which is a combination of gl Present and malic behavior. They explain that individuals can achieve their goals by actively developing and developing their virtue, but this capacity is also something that falls into two stops, one being a gl Present and one being a malic person. The speaker warns that individuals may become numb to their activities and develop their own success in the afterlife, but this is a state of fear.AI Generated Transcript ©
So that was the corruption of the capacity for thought or the or the intellect, right? If we move on to the second capacity, we have the capacity for urge the capacity for desire, we want things you get hungry, right? You get aroused. It's true, right? So that's something that Allah created in you, okay? This is a capacity, it's not evil, it's not dirty. It is what it is. And it is for hunting is saying, if you don't actively develop that and train that and discipline that into a virtue, then it's going to fall into one or two of two extremes, and it's going to end up being a vice. Okay? So if you take that desire, for example, and it goes to one extreme, one extreme is gluttony, right?
It's never enough, whether it's food, whether it's intimacy, all these sorts of things, somebody can get to the point where they're just constantly searching out the next thing, right? We see this when it comes to some of the people in our community or in society, they're addicted to pornography, or they have unhealthy eating habits.

It's almost like again, like, it's atrophied, like it's not doing anything like
sometimes people don't care. They don't they don't have any sort of urge at all. They've lost the capacity. Sometimes they've actually consumed so much that they've become numb to it, right. And we see this more when it comes to intimacy than we see it with food. But the point stands where somebody it's like, nothing even does it for them anymore, right? This is mismanaged this is it's become to the point of a vise, the person has to take these things and train them and develop them so that they actually work for the person their own self development, their own development of virtue and their own success in the afterlife. If they don't, if you leave it untouched, then it's
going to with the help of the devil with the help of bad habits with the help of bad decisions, it's going to end up falling into one of these two extremes and that's when it becomes a vise
