Al-Muhasibi

I felt this passage did a good job describing and depicting what it is like for someone who truly is under the will of God and who truly sees him for all his greatness without needed to physically see him. It essentially is the heart of a true believer which al-muhasibi is describing here. I can identify with the line "so that it (the mind) is no longer concerned with this world and what is in it". This is exactly how I feel alot of the time...as though nothing here will ever satisfy me or make me truly content, so nothing here really matters in the end. People are so concerned with material things, with possessions, with accomplishments, etc, but what will they have when they die? Nothing but their soul and the memories they left in the people they touched while they were here. It doesn't really matter what your job is, your status, your popularity, your wealth...none of it is important, simply things that entertain your mind while you are here, distracting you from the good and purposeful things you could be doing with your life and time here on earth.
