Do You Feel Wretched When You Don’t Get Something [Hikam 147]

“If when given something, the giving expands you, and if when deprived of something, the deprivation contracts you, then take that as proof of your immaturity and the insincerity of your servanthood”
[Hikam 147, Page 198]

The above aphorism serving as a litmus test to see how sincere and focused one remains towards Allah Most High in the two different states.
