"My heart asked me, What is that thou want? Do you want a world without its Creator? What is that thou want? Do you want wealth without its Giver? What is that thou want? Do you seek happiness but not the Creator of happiness? What is that thou want? Do you want peace without the Giver of Peace? What is that thou want? Do you seek pleasure and comfort but not the Provider of pleasure and comfort? What is that thou want? Do you want security without the Provider of safety? What is that thou want? Do you seek your own self but not the One who created you? What is that thou want? Do you seek to live forever but care not worships the only One who is Eternal? What is that thou want? Do you want paradise without the Creator and Giver of paradise? Do you seek safety form hell but care not to fear the Owner of hell? What is that thou want? Do you want to pray but care not to pay attention to God, and yet you want Him to hear you? What is that thou want? Do want to fast but care not to backbite behind your brother and thus eat his flesh? What is that thou want? Do you want to boast yourself as a grateful servant of God but care not be grateful to your parents? For how shall the one who is not grateful to his mother, who has borne him for 9 months in her womb shall be called as a grateful servant before the Lord? My heart asked me, What is that thou want?"
